Know how to check for the hazard of back-pressure build-up and subsequent inefficiency and failure of your air pump; by disconnecting the air line tubing from the pump and trying to blow through it. If you cant do this easily, neither can you r pump. Periodically (about every month) check and clean, or replace clogged diffusers.

Air Valves: These come in plastic and metal. Do not use metal in or around your tank. They are used to direct the desired amount

Are there any safe paints that I could use to

About Spills...

IF a sump should overflow, a fitting be blocked, plumbing leak... where will the water go? On the floor almost assuredly. Some folks go so far as to plan for these near-eventualities by arranging a sort of "spill pan" around their tanks, gear, sometimes with even a good-sized drain line... going to a lower spot (easy to do in houses with a raised foundation, cellar or

A behind the scenes tour of the exhibits is well worth a pint of beer or two for a friendly staff member! Be resourceful and be imaginative.

If compatible with the species and habitat you seek to replicate, a healthy portion of live rock will serve incomparably as dcor, food (generating plants, algae and plankton), and as bio-filtration. Aquacultured live rock and wild-harvested product are available and each has th

To that, add one quarter cup of white wine vinegar for every gallon of tap water that is in the bucket. Plug in the pumps and allow them to run for 15 minutes. The vinegar helps to liberate any hard calcium deposits. Once that is done, drain the bucket and repeat the process, but this time, instead of vinegar use plain bleach in the same ratios. Again, let the pumps run for 15 minutes to rid it of any built up organic sludge, bacteria, or algae growth. Drain the bucket again, refill with plain tap

The same holds true with more nitrate. The more you have, the less viable/healthy your aquarium water is.

Take care to not place too much livestock too quickly (variable with type of system, filtration...), nor too much in the long haul, nor over-feed the system... as all can and will cause trouble with overloading your biological filtration (among other things).

Too Late! Ammonia, Nitrite Too HIGH!!!

Should you ever find your system ammonia or nitrite concentrations approaching 1.0 ppm due to overloading, mis-feeding,

Cleaning Under Your UGF

Refugium reverse photo period, could it actually fuel daytime algae?
I was just reading some articles about PH and whatnot (Randy Holmes Farley stuff) and started to think about CO2. If algae gives off Co2 at night time when it isn't photosynthesizing, then the chaeto ball in my fuge is doing just that during the day when the fu.
