I attempted to build a closed loop system based on Marc's directions (http://www.sparklingfloorservice.com/tank/closedloop.html). The deviations I took are as follows: - Using a Eheim 1250 pump instead of a Mag 5 - return from pump to SCWD is flexible hose (not PVC). This was due to the return...

I want to clean out my aquarium,remove tubes and other equipment, and clean it all thoroughly.How do I use Potassium Permanganate (KmNO4) ? how much to dilute it, and how long to soak, or wipe down the equipment?

I'm not too sure if there are any rock experts on this group, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if the mineral chlorite is safe? I'm hoping to use some black/green slate and apparently the green color is caused by chlorite. Thanks, Harry

I have had a 35 gallon tank now for about 2 months. The water is super clear and the fish seem to be happy and well adjusted.:) My question is how do I get my ph above 7. I have tried a ton of those tablets that fizz and and powder that supposedly will fix it but it still remains very low...

I recently received a 90 gallon custom tank. (was built a salt water tank.) but I want to use it as a fresh water.. Problem is their are several inserts of glass (mostly siliconed on) I need a way to remove them ( was going to try using a razor type blade to cut the silicone, but several of the...

Try heavy scrubbing with a warm sal****er solution (8 tablespoons of salt per gallon of water). Failing this, you could try a cleaner (like CLR) but be sure to rinse the lid well after use of the cleaner. Matthew Clark

I am thinking of making a fluidized bed filter for a tank of less than 50 gallons. Actually, it is a 10 gallon right now, but I want to make it big enough for 50. I was going to use a power head for a pump. Any tips?

I'm gonna be running some custom pipe work in my 55G to provide undergravel jets. This means I have to make a transition between the pipes supplied with my Fluval 404 and my 1/2 PVC pipes. I would prefer to make this transition inside the stand, not the fish tank (long story why). So here's my...

Hi, I've got a Workhorse 5 ballast driving a single 96 watt PC bulb. It's turned out to be too much light for the tank, so I'd like to drive the bulb at a little lower wattage. Unfortunately, I lost the documentation that came with it, and I couldn't find the info I needed on the Fulham website,...

Hi, I am hoping somebody on this group may be able to point me in the right direction. I am doing a high school research project that involves keeping some fish (specifically, Siamese Fighting Fish). The one that I bought comes in a small plastic container, with some apparently "special"...

Looking to see how many people might use this. Going on vacation, on travel to work or even being away for 8hrs can be a nerve wracking experience. Unless someone checks on your fish every hour you may not have enough time to solve problems once they start. By combining off the shelf products...

I've had this 30 hex Oceanic sitting around for a couple years (mainly because I haven't had the time or money to maintain the hobby). I've been out of the "loop" of aquariums for awhile and would like to get back into it. I'm thinking setting this up as a cichlid tank eventually, but am...

Hi, I purchased a Regent Aqua-Tech-5 from Wal-Mart (similar to Eclipse System 6) a few days ago. The impeller housing does not fit into the pump/filter assembly. The width is correct, but the length is about 1/4" too long. The impeller housing looks slightly different than the drawing in the...
