In reality, the little sweeper mechanism tends to clog with dirt rather quickly. This stops the rotation and renders this powerhead to operate like any other. That really should not surprise anyone that has kept fish any amount of time. When any powerhead is taken apart to clean it, it is usually full of a slimy coating refered to as mulm. This same gelatinous stuff which slows down standard powerheads over time jams the gears in the Powersweeps. As I said, it

The Jaubert Plenum System, if constructed properly, can work well, provided the aquarium is only lightly-stocked with fish. While we are sure some hobbyists would disagree with us here, we feel that more research is necessary on this fascinating subject. The original plenum method used aeration as the only means of water movement in the tank. We highly recommend that a plenum be used in conjunction with a Berlin system. The protein skimmer will remove other dissolved and solid organics, not removed by the plenum. The use of a protein skimmer combined with the plenum method may be the ke

System installation is identical for cold water as it has been for all other types of marine set-ups so far, with the following notes on lighting and filtration/establishing nutrient c

On the plus side they are small, powerful, and inexpensive. On the negative side, my experience has shown these pumps to be unreliable and potentially dangerous. I have had a number simply fail to operate after just a year or two of service. Worse yet, I have also received mild shocks from a couple of these pumps. The potential for electrocution was the final straw. I systemically went through my customers tanks and replaced all the Rio pumps with comparable ones from other manufacturers. This was both a liability and cost-effectiveness issue. I can easily replace and bill a customer

Notes on Prefilters Used for Stand-Alone Wet-Dry & Berlin Filter Systems:

Water is fed into wet-dry filters and Berlin reservoirs from a separate "overflow prefilter," which may be built-into the aquarium (called a "reef-ready" aquarium) or purchased as a stand-alone unit which hangs on the back of the aquarium.

Built-in prefilters are the best type, as there are no siphon tubes involved w

Mud sump
Hi, my husband is starting a new 170 gal tank with a 100 gal mud sump for me. Is it ok to take maybe a third of the mud from my 50 gal mud sump and use it like a sourdough starter? How long would it take for it to cycle? Thanks.

Where to place my Zoa's??
I was wondering how much light most Zoa's need. I am thinking of putting the new frags lower in the tank, right on the sand bed or just a little above. I have a 26" deep tank and I am using 250W MH and pc Actinics for lighting. I have some zoos that are doing fine in the mid section of the tank and a large colony that is quite near the surface that is also doing well. I am wonde.
