Hi All, This is a simple tech question regarding a Reverse Osmosis System.... Recently I've purchased such a system of 100GPD. At the beginning the output was really 100GPD, but now it works with 85GPD even after I've replaced the Filters. (One Pre and two carbon filters....) I can add that the...

What would happen if I were to use the Pre Heating bulbs (slow starting) on and electronic ballast? (Instant or rapid start) It would prolly just shorten the life of the bulb I would imagine... Oh, the bulbs would be overdriven as well BTW. The reason for me asking is the only "industrial" 36"...

Can someone tell me if I am preparing this sal****er driftwood properly for a fresh water tank?? 1) Boil repeatedly and change water until water stays clear 2) soak in bleach and water 3) Boil again 4) Dry in Sun

hi, The maintenance job I dislike the most is doing water changes. Is it a good idea then to invest in a nitrate filter? Has this disadvantages (for a regular aquarium filled with platys danios, angelfish, gouramis,...). any other recommendations? Are they costly? ....

hi, Since a month now, I've been using a carboplus installation in my 95gallon tank. It seems to run fine and plants really grow fast. One (major) problem though: after one week of working (only during the days, but always at full blast) the units gives a red light. This probably means the...

Formalin was what I was looking for. The brands of "ammonia & chorine/chloromine" removers all have these two chemicals in them. I have heard that pool supply places sell it for around $1.00 a pound. This place sells it: http://www.angelsplus.com

Here's the plan as it currently stands: http://jonnythan.com/sumpidea.GIF I'm hoping that gravity will prove sufficient to move the water through the filter. Any thoughts on this or recommendations for media? How should I select a pump? The main tank will be a 55 gallon and the pump will have...
