Aquarium Protein Filters

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

Ever see a microbial culture system in a school or hospital laboratory? Notice all the care taken to keep the temperature at a certain point and c

Other similarities can be fairly observed. Bog filters (the inline, shallow water regions planted heavily for nutrient export) have been readily embraced by pond-keepers for their efficiency and natural beauty as living filters. Marine aquarists have found planted refug

Breeding African Cichlids
HOW TO CARE FOR AFRICAN CICHLIDS BREEDING Once you have established your aquarium of African Cichlids, and decided which species you prefer best, you’ll observe after several months that your acclimated Cichlids are happy, healthy and well adjusted within their new community. In time, you may begin to observe.
