It has been our experience that VHO lamps seem to degrade faster than normal fluorescents in terms of a ratio of output in lux over time when measured underwater with a light meter.

What we mean by this is that we have measured a faster reduction in intensity over time for VHO lamps compared to when the lamp was new than what weve measured for normal fluorescent lamps. We base our opinions on our observations. What we have observed is that in VHO

Conclusions

Powerheads are usually the silent workhorses of our aquariums. Good ones perform their function of powering filters or providing circulation while requiring little maintenance other than a good cleanin

Common Cichlid Diseases
Like all fish kept in tanks, Cichlids are prone to disease. The artificial environment and closed system are the perfect breeding grounds for pathogens and parasites. Of course, wild fish get diseases, but these go unseen by everyone but fishermen and wildlife biologists. The best cure is alwa.

Porcupine Puffer, anyone?
I just wanted to know if anyone has a porcupine puffer in their Fish only tank (Knowing they cant be kept in reef tanks)? I'm planning on adding a porcupine puffer including 2 true clownfish in a 50 gallon FOWLR tank in the near future. I was wondering if anyone could give me good advice o.
