tubifex worms in gravel

I had Tubifex worms living in the gravel of one of my tanks and it
wasn't filthy.
They confined themselves to one corner of the tank- they like clumping
together.
My Jurapari and Discus enjoyed...

Power filter for 20 gallon tank?

I appreciate the advice, Carl. I think I'll give the Zoo Med PS20 a
try.
I don't want a strong current - I plan on having placid fish, like
angels.
When that powerhead dies I'll try one of the...

Power filter for 20 gallon tank?

I found a nice new, old stock Supreme Aquamaster
PMEA power filter on eBay, and won the auction.
I paid about $5.00 more than what I sold them for,

Power filter for 20 gallon tank?

I wasn't accusing anyone of being a salesman.

In the store we used many of the products we sold,
so I knew which ones worked and which didn't.

In...

Power filter for 20 gallon tank?

Power filter for 20 gallon tank?

I helped maintain 100+ tanks at the store, and experience taught me
that
the key to maintaining a healthy aquarium is frequent partial water
changes.
No filter or chemical can replace this.

Power filter for 20 gallon tank?

Undergravel filters have fallen out of favor you say? Surprising if
true.
They always worked very well for me - if used in conjunction with a
power filter.
Typically UGF filters only failed for my...

After being out of the hobby for 20 years I plan to set up a 20 gallon
