Keep water shielded and away from your chiller. If you touch anything around your mechanicals and controllers, keep your darned hands out of the system. Emphatic enough?Livestock: May be collected (check with local law/Fish and Game re licensing/restrictions) or purchased direct from dealers or mail order. Acclimation is ideally the same as for tropicals; dips/baths at least, quarantine at best. Beware of fast changes in temperature, anything more than 5 degrees F. in collecting, moving temperate livestock. Biological disease is rarely a problem w More |
This is called "breaking" the siphon. With a built-in design, water overflows into the prefilter from the surface of the aquarium, is pre-filtered through sponge elements, and feeds via gravity, directly into the filter below the aquarium. Hang-on prefilters usually consist of two parts, the actual prefilter box that hangs on the back of the aquarium, and a "waterfall" collection cu More |
They work the same way as a fluorescent tube but the surface area of the tube has been increased slightly and more phosphors added. They require more electricity than regular fluorescents but the payoff is huge! They produce nearly four times the light-output per watt than regular fluorescents and in our experience, degrade slower and last longer. They come close to the output of metal halide bulbs with relatively-precise color temperature production, though metal halide bulbs produce a far broMore |
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 More | | " These bulbs operate in the same way as regular fluorescent bulbs, except that the ballasts that power these lamps apply more electrical current to the lamp, and some brands of VHO lamps employ more phosphors in their operation. Typically, a VHO bulb produces twice the output in lumens as a regular fluorescent bulb. They also tend to burn twice as hot as regular fluorescents, a More |

Come one and all, your corycat pics here...
www.flickr.com/groups/corydoras/ . Can this touch that?Hye guys and gals, can a torch coral touch a pagoda cup with out hurting either? Where can I find what corals are safe to touch each other. Right now I have the colt and Pagoda cup, mushrooms, sinlara, brain, toadstool leather, fiji leather, green star polyps.
