I've been doing a bit of research on which heater to get for my new 55G tank. It seems like Ebo-Jager heaters are very highly recommended, however, I believe they still use a bi-metal strip to control the temp. So I started looking a little at solid state heaters, like Tronic. I'm wondering...

has anyone used the EHIEM automatic feeder with the 'air system'? Has anyone used the PENTAIR model and auxilary hopper? Suggestions? Experiences? I'm looking to automate fish feeding while away for around 3 weeks - something that will work longer than those dissolving food shells which seem to...

I am making a 24" x 24" window, its about 1/2" thick. I am putting a small green air diffuser (i think thats the name, just a little green tube that makes bubbles) on the bottom and covering it with a little sand. It will be a window that bubbles basicly. I have some precut 1/4" acrylic plexi...

I have a Ehiem that seems to have gone ka-poots. Anyone have any Idea on what I may check for before I dispose of it? When the canister is full of water and I turn it on it just wont pump and flow. I took off the head and checked the impeller it seem to be working. The media within the canister...

A friend is getting a tank built. It will act as a coffee table. 30 inches high, 3 foot square. It will sit on a six inch wooden plinth, with access to the space underneath the tank. He wants to hide all the filtration system within the plinth. So he needs a thin system (6 inches high) that...

I have an old "Aquanetics 25IL UV Sterilizer". Does anyone know where I can find a replacement bulb for this sterilizer? Also, does anyone know what happened to the company "Aquanetic Systems" that made these sterilizers? They used to have the webpage www.aquanetics.com , but it has...

Hi, I've been given a 48" x 15" x 12" glass tank, and I'm wondering about its construction. It has been in constant use for over ten years I believe. However, I have read on various websites that tanks should be constructed with all four walls sitting ON TOP of the base and the end walls...

Potassium Chloride is also what is used in water softeners as a Sodium Alternative. Costs around $8 for a 40 lb bag. A good brand is Morton's (yes the salt company). Check out your local Sears, they carry it. Buzz Thanks Buzz, good info...I didn't know that was the same.

I inherited an Eheim 1250 pump with my tank, and over the weekend I set this up as an external pump to use with a SCWD I purchased. I was a little surprised at the vibration noise, especially after reading the webpages on this pump and how it's supposed to be quiet .. Does anyone else have this...

Hello, I currently live in Phoenix, AZ and I was wondering if anyone had any advice about stores locally that have friendly service, knowledge, and good prices. Please let me know if anyone has had any good experiences here in the area. Or if you are looking to sell an old tank, I would be...

Are those buckets that you can buy at home depot (the ones that have the HD logo on the outside, I think they are 5G or so) safe for use with aquariums (ie: water change, etc.). Also does anyone now of a source for slightly smaller buckets/containers? A 5G might be a little too big to fit under...

If you can get mardel products I would recomend them. The symtoms you discribe could be secondary to the white spot or another disease altogether. Identfying the probelm from a distance is problematic at best. Moon remove nospam from e-mail to send to me, I grow trees in aquariums like bonsai. I...
