Stained Glass Aquarium

They provide adequate circulation and exchange of water; harbor beneficial aerobic (and often anaerobic) microbes, promote gaseous exchange; mechanically filter out large solid wastes (generally in a pre-filter arrangement) and their sumps are often equipped with contactors, dosers, meters, and skimmers.

These units do have their shortcomings; improperly engineered they can be a flo

Larger tank can be changed once a week. And notice if the ammonia and nitrite levels are up the roof, because both are very bad for your Betta. Also be wary of harmful bacteria they can ruin your fish life, but dont kill of all bacteria in the aquarium since a lot of bacteria is essential for a well functioning aquarium.

During the pre-spawning period you can feed a wide variety of food, including blackworms, Grindal worms, fruit flies, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae and frozen blood worms (all are life except the frozen blood worms). During thi

We want to take out livestock wastes, but add oxygen. We want to eliminate particulate matter by serving it out, but not our fishes! There are lots of ways to do these things; basically it comes down to how much time, money, general resource a person wants to put in versus the degree of cleanliness desired and required. The best available, most appropriate filtration system will get you the most trouble-free, low input of time and money in the long ru

Most are engineered to be oriented in a certain aspect. You want to mount the pump in this orientation... Perhaps not on the same plane/level as the sump/tank it is servicing... in the event of a flood.

2) You want to make a solid junction between the lines going to/from the pump and the plumbing they attach to... but it is very likely you will want to provide an "intermediate" junction... best of stronger/thicker PVC, nominally Schedule 80 (that heavy gray stuff). For FIP (female) fittings the material of choice are Sch 80 risers or nipples... that have male to male threads that can be threaded into the pump volute (the part covering the impellers with the fi

.. use Silicone). There are a myriad of options to choose amongst, doing with solvent density, color... and possibly the use of a primer. I strongly encourage (along with good, square cuts and new/er, clean pipe and fittings) the use of "landscape" PVC solvent... like the green viscous kind/s or best "Christys Red Hot Blue Glue"... which works well even in wet, dirty (under tank) environments.

I am forever telling folks to "work from the fixed end" in doing plumbing work... after carefully measuring, cutting, laying out the parts and cut pipe, to thread, solvent all from the most fixed point (like a wall or a pump or a tank...) on out. Use pap

Ok well i would agree with everyone here about the guppy being the hardiest fish you can buy, .
