Planted Aquarium Design

Old, salty dogfish however (experienced aquarists, that is), have earned honorary degrees in chemistry, carpentry, plumbing and electrical engineering to become reef aquarists. Hopefully, some well-prepared and researching new folks will read this and be spared the gauntlet of powerhead pits just the same. Advanced aquarists are charged to pass the word along in kind if they agree.

Harnessing an external water pump, a manifold of PVC is to be plumbed with a single feed line. [Please re

It is important to note that we have tried many other species within the same Family or Genus as those shown on the list. However, we have found that not all members of a given Family or Genus are equally hardy. For example, while many species of Gourami have proven themselves as "cycleable" species, we have not had consistent success with the Honey Gourami, Colisa chuna, and several other Gouramis. There are also many fish in a given family that we have not tried, because they were not available at the time, or some doubt existed as

Another member of the large characin clan, the lemon tetra has a fairly elongated body like its smaller relative the neon tetra and like neons and other characins, the lemon tetra does best if kept in small schools of six to eight fish.

One of the most distinguishing features of the lemon tetra is their large eyes. The upper part of the lemon te

You have a few options, trying to reduce the toxic compounds through dilution, addition of anaerobic bacteria, adding macro-life to absorb the chemicals, selective chemical filtration, or moving the livestock to a system where there are less toxic conditions.

Dilution Solution: This is a matter of removing the ammonia, nitrite laden water and replacing it with pr

Many aquarists have lost animals unnecessarily this way - particularly benthic motile invertebrates, slow/weak fishes, and anemones & toxic sea cucumbers that wait until you go on vacation to drift. Guarding the intakes instead increases the need for upkeep unduly: a small guard clogs quickly, and a large guard runs the risk of becoming an unwelcome nitrifying surface. In systems with high flow needs overall, it may take 4 or 6 or more powerheads to produce the s
