Having true unions and flush type valves will allow you to take your pump and/or other gear out of line and inspect it, replace it w/o having to drain your tank, sumps... useful to you? Yes.

About Balancing Water Flows Twixt Uneven Containers:

"Oh, Ill have equal rated pumps just shoot the water from one tank to the other..." Have I heard about flow valves, shut-off switches, magical siphon loops? On yes I have... There are folks who try to "defy gravity" by seeking to pump "just enough" water twixt and tween parts of their system... Alas, these all ultimately fail. Dont rely on a "make-up" siphon to save you

Fit one end of the tubing to the pump spout. Place larger rocks to cover the pump and fill the bottom of the container.

4. Arrange the smaller rocks and tiles /slate /driftwood by stacking them so as to create a diverse and irregular path for the water flow. You can reduce the water flow from a geyser to a gurgle by covering the open end of the tube with tumbled glass.

About Cutting Tools:

Dont chintz yourself by trying to cut plastic pipe and even flexible tubing with anything other than

Nitrogen compound testing gives you that.

Basically, all living things are made up of molecular building blocks called Amino Acids (AA for short). These are structures of carbon chains (some with sulfur), oxygen, hydrogen that are linked to one another by amino bonds to form proteins. Amino bond sounds a lot like ammonia, because it is. The nitrogen cycle is the sum total of processes that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into compounds useful to animals

It has been our experience that VHO lamps seem to degrade faster than normal fluorescents in terms of a ratio of output in lux over time when measured underwater with a light meter.

What we mean by this is that we have measured a faster reduction in intensity over time for VHO lamps compared to when the lamp was new than what weve measured for normal fluorescent lamps. We base our opinions on our observations. What we have observed is that in VHO

Dark room. Lights on in tank.

Use a tripod if you got one.
