Community Tank Fish

community tank fish

Enough of this Introduction to Economic Theory; lets get back to talking about fish and fish products! As I said before, I sell and use more Hagen powerheads that any other brand. If I am dealing with a freshwater setup, I use Hagens. On the other hand, if this is a saltwater installation, I give a slight edge to Aquarium Systems Maxi-Jets because they use a ceramic impeller shaft which are more durable in salt water than Hagens stainl

Modern filter plates, commercial and custom-made utilize chemically inert materials to provide continuous, even flow through the whole systems base. The best incorporate large (one inch plus) air-lift, powerhead and pump driven mechanisms. (photograph).

There is nothing wrong with airstone-only driven systems. These move a goodly volume of water, with the added benefit of increased gaseous diffusion; while not adding extra waste heat. Air pumps are the "lowest-cost" provider of water movement.

Sponge and Box Types:

Laugh if you will, you old

Use a small amount (a pinch) per ten gallons at first (this is all that is necessary) and follow one of the proscribed methods above.

Time Frame: Generally 4-6 weeks. Again, a good idea to use test kits to monitor progress, and wait on the rise of nitrate, some algae growth to assure you the system is cycled.

About Testing:

How are you going to be able to "tel

Habitat: Require a specialized habitat which is very difficult to simulate.

Drugs: Often collected using Sodium Cyanide or drugs, or which come from areas of the world where these methods are still in use.

Aggressive: Extremely aggressive, have large territories in the wild, and are unsuitable for most community aquariums. Aggression in fish is not an indicator of "anger" but is due to highly-territorial behavior.

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
