    Video - MrPillow's Mini Predator Tank

    Had a pretty boring today and decided to play around with the video on the lady's camera. First time I've used it so the quality is pretty shoddy in some spots, but oh well. Soaked up todays downtime :) Enjoy! Don't forget to switch it to 720p :)

    Anyone keep any kelp?

    Anyone grow this, either in a sump/fuge or their main tank? Can't seem to find too many accounts on the web. Would a Marineland DB LED fixture be enough to keep kelp going in a tank that is 16" deep?

    Alright kiddos, here's the deal. In a little while I'll be able to finally get back into the aquarium trade and will be doing up a FOWLR in a 40b.

    Replacement output/spraybar assembly for canister?

    Hey guys, The yesterday I was fidgeting around with my tank and accidently smashed the U-tube section of the output assembly. It developed a small crack. For the moment, I have it sealed well enough with some hose-sealing rubber tape crap. Where could I find a new output assembly? I'd like to...

    Forgot the Prime....

    Today I was doing PWC in all my tanks and amongst the monotony and being pre-occupied with other things, I believe I may have forgotten to dose Prime when I did the 50% change in my 26g. I remembered about 12 hours later, and dosed accordingly, but by this time is it likely my bio-filter is...

    Dwarf Gourami Bullying Corys

    Hey guys, I have a 20g tank that is bare-bottom and contains various cory species and a single male dwarf gourami. I have noticed that lately whenever feeding time comes around, not only does the gourami eat his floating food, but he bullies the corys out of anything that is on the bottom...

    Aqueon heater malfunctioning?

    Hey guys, I have a 150w Aqueon submersible heater in one of my tanks that I got from PetCo. I have noticed over the last few days that it makes a loud, intermittent clicking noise every once awhile. The noise appears unconnected to the heater turning on/off. It is holding temperature, but the...
