While large water changes and chemical filtrant exchanges can be cumbersome, impractical or expensive on big systems, protein skimmers can temper the degradation of water quality inexpensively and effectively. Protein skimmers are also a crucial means of supporting oxygen saturation in a system with a heavy bio-load.

A brief but important mention of aquarium tank and stand fabrication is in order. A few hundred gallons of water translates to a few thousand pounds o

Modern power filters with their small cartridges, foam pads, and spinning or whirling gimmick devices, will never be adequate for proper biological filtration, in spite of the misleading and exaggerated claims made by some manufacturers.

Under-Gravel Filters: This was the first true biological filter invented for the aquarium. The gravel in an aquarium is suspended above one or more plastic plates, which are equipped with "lift tubes" that extend vertically from the bottom to the water surface. Air is pumped into the bottom of the lift tubes and rises up the tubes, carrying water w

As many male characins do, the male lemon tetras also have tiny hooks on their anal fins. Both males and females have the tetras characteristic adipose fin, which is also pale yellow in color.

Although omnivorous and able to exist on a diet of flaked food, the pale yellow color of the lemon tetra displays best if the fishs standard diet is well supplemented with live treats. The lemon tetra is an egg-scatterer. Howe

You are encouraged to "do" at least one of the above in addition to using this method if using bacteria "boosters" in a bottle.

About Using Damsels, Other Life to Establish Cycling:

There are still some authors that encourage new aquarists to place fishes and/or invertebrates in new systems (as a source of ammonia, food for the bacteria) to start cycling. Often this stressful condition results in these animals loss. This practi

Such devices are better suited for very large systems, like public displays. Wave-timers with powerheads are likewise inferior to dedicated pumps producing random turbulent flow as their staccato operation increases wear on pumps in use while robbing the system of potential water flow during "off" cycles. Truly, the closed loop manifold described herein produces some of the most efficient water movement in the aquarium while insuring a good value of use (pump life and

Ok well i would agree with everyone here abo.

Black Neon Tetra
Few things are as eye-catching as a large school of shimmering tetras. If you already have a school of Neon or Rummy Nose Tetras, consider adding Black Neons....

mixing clowns?
If this has been discussed before please direct me to the thread! I have a false clown in my tank and I want to get another one but my lfs only has true percs "thats what he called them" the.

Goniopora Stokesi
I got this gonio two months back after confirming with the owner that it is not a dyed coral. Recently, there was speck of brown surfacing (refer to pic). Coral is place est. 11" away from light sou.
