I just bought a dual 400w metal halide lighting system. In the store the fired it up before I left, they did have problems getting it to fire but blamed it on the circuit they plugged it in to. Once home I mounted them to the top of my canopy and tried to fire them up, it took a little fiddling...

I've been thinking about ways to reduce the maintenance on my GoldFish Tank and improve their water quality at the same time. We also know the big problem with GF is the poop. So if you wan'tto keep a semi clean tank with gravel, you need RUGF and lots of washing. There are also those who...

I have a pregnant guppy, a pregnant swordtail, and a pregnant sunburst platy. Oh, and a pregnant Mickey Mouse platy as well. Does anyone know where I can find pictures, or info on exactly how they behave when ready to give birth? The swordtail has had five babies, I think it's her babies. I am...

I've googled chiller posts for about an hour, but can't find anything specifically on this topic, mostly because I'm not vainly trying to use a dorm fridge. :-) If I've missed something, I apologize. Basivally, I'm trying to use one chiller to cool two tank, temporarily. I have a large (~280...

I bought an DD Aquarium solutions RUV050 RO unit at the weekend, if I had known how bad the instructions were I might have not bothered, Eventually I worked out that you needed to put a flow resistor on the output pipe but what's not clear from the unit is what is filtered out and what's not. I...

I have a 37gal with the Eclipse3 hood. Filter and bio-wheel built into the hood. Rated at 250GPH. I think it is less. Pump riser tube is on the left side of the tank. 2 water outlets on the right side of the tank from the filter and you can direct the flow in any direction. I like the fact that the...

Please help! I have a flower horn cichlid that seems fully grown. (Approx. 8-9 inches) I'm pretty sure she's a royal tiger. Right now I have fry from her. This is the third time her eggs have produced fry, from about five or six times of laying eggs. She has NEVER had a tank mate and has been...

My water change system calls for a pump that could pump 15G of water up 4 feet within a few minutes (around 5 mins). The pump would only be used once a week (for those 5 or so minutes), or as often as my one tank requires its water changed. Any recommendations for a cheap, yet somewhat good...

I'm looking for opinions about Via Aqua pumps. I'm especially interested in getting the Via Aqua 1300 for very light duty work (ie: minutes of run time a week as part of a water change system). Does Via Aqua make decent pumps? Or am I throwing money away by getting one? Thanks, Harry
