Hi, I have a De Bary Aqua-UV AN-15E sterilizer. It uses a 15W G15T8 tube (also known as Philips TUV 15). De Bary also make an AN-25E model. It's identical in size, but uses a G25T8 tube (also known as Philips TUV 25). It's time for me to change the tube, and it occured to me that I might be able...

I recently built my own light strip for a 55 gal aquarium and I thought I'd share my plans. I had two goals: lots of light, little money. Time to completion was about three hours. The materials have extra left over: the gutter only comes in 10' lenghts, so it is enough to make two strip lights,...

Anyone else notice that the suction seems better with the Python when using the brass adapter over the plastic? I had to replace the plastic adapter today, as it would no longer stay together. So I was surprised when it started sucking gravel down the sink. I haven't done that since it was...

I just picked up a Fluval 304 (Petsmart was giving them away - insert your own joke), as I'll be moving to a larger tank later this year and want to run a couple of 304s on it. It's running alonside my AC500 for now. I searched for concerns regarding the flimsy rubber rings holding the tubing in...

I've had a Python about a year that I've used for clean and refill my aquarium. When I used it today, it drained just fine, but when it came time to refill, it wouldn't send any water out the hose to the tank. I took the green plastic unit apart to look for clogs and was unable to locate...
