    DIY nitrate reactor build

    Decided to build my cheap and simple reactor for my turtle tank. My nitrates shoot up in that tank and I can't do WC's as often as I'd like so I sought out a buffer. Just made this with why I already had and some elbows and o-rings. Tomorrow it will be operational and ill give updates on how...

    SA tankmates for my RES?

    While getting my plans finalized for my 210 turtle aquarium, I have abandoned my sunfish idea because I cannot acquire them at a decent size in which they could fend off my slider. I have decided to go with the big SA aggressive route. I know many have kept them successfully with turtles and was...

    Classroom Biotope

    I've had this setup in my mothers classroom for a couple weeks now. It's a South American Biotope with fake plants, being that I don't have the time to tend to the plants. I initially had some candy cane tetras but a Ich outbreak took them and attempted to take my rams which I so far have...

    Plumb FX5 into Bulkheads?

    In the future I will be setting up a 210 that is drilled with two overflows but with a turtle Ive decided its not the best route and after just recently flooding my basement due to my own stupidity the last thing I want is for something to go wrong with the sump. So, has anyone plumbed an...

    Beautiful driftwood

    Just recently purchased some pieces from ebay seller Decoymaker01. Some of it is a little pricey but well worth it. They are very knotty and holey making nice caves and crevices. Highly recommend you check her stuff out. I will be purchasing some of her larger pieces for my 210 eventually

    Get rid of nitrates without more WC's?

    I keep seeing threads about high nitrates and I know how much of a chore WC's can be. Just because you have high nitrates doesn't mean you should have to commit your every free minute to a partial water change. Don't get me wrong, WC's are essential to getting rid of other harmful wastes that we...

    Bottom of Tank Overflow?

    Since I have a turtle tank I was wondering if this could be possible? I was thinking of adding a slit in the PVC wide enough to cause an interruption in siphon, but still allow for most of the flow to come from the original opening at the bottom of the pipe. The idea is that when the water level...

    Go for the 180 gallon???

    I have a 135 I got for $60 (Not bad!) last year and I've been patiently waiting to set it up. BUT, I think I want something bigger lol. There's a guy by me trying to sell his 180 for 400 OBO. He recently downgraded to a 125 so I'm wondering if he might take a trade!? Worth a try right, if he...

    I need a par meter!

    Please if anyone owns a PAR meter would you be willing to help a fellow planted tank member? I need to figure out how much light I'm getting and no one around me has one that I know of. I can pay shipping there and back if anyone can help. Don't have the money to buy one
