Perfecto

Perfecto is known primarily for the aquariums that they build, but they did have a brief foray into the powerhead market. This venture was brief for good reason. The pumps that they marketed were noisier than most and not very reliable. I routinely had problems with them restarting after being turned off to clean the aquariums they were used in. This same kind of problem reared its head after power outages. They did have one interesting feature. The airline tubing that came with the pump to inject air bubbl

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.
