Stand 20 Gallon Aquarium

Apparently they have never heard the saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Of course they reduce the flow rate some. They use that flow to create the spin. If Hydor could create a similar device that didnt reduce the flow at all, then they should reconsider their business plan and go into the perpetual motion machine business. J

My Pitch on Installing Filters:

Do it now, as the next step in setting up your system. Thats right, Im encouraging you to fill the tank (and filters) up as is and fire the biological and mechanical

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 bro

First, unplug the pump, remove it from the tank, and place it in a clean bucket that is only used for the aquarium. No mop buckets! Be sure to arrange the powerhead such that the output nozzle is aimed sideways (Not up! Youll see why in a minute!). Add enough hot tap water to completely subm
