About Temperature, and Establishing Cycling:

More important than any given temperature (within reason) is some sense of stability. Keeping your system in the upper part of "typical tropical seawater" range (upper seventies to lower eighties F) and not allowing it to vacillate more than a few degrees per day will optimize (shorten) the period of time it takes to fully cycle it.

There are several other filtering "efforts" that secondarily, tertiarily serve as adjuncts to biological filtration. Youll get a glimpse of most of them in the nest two sections on physical/mechanical, and chemical filtration methods.

They are fairly small but powerful for their size and they come with a wide variety of accessory parts to fulfill any special attachment needs. The suction cup option for holding these pumps in place does not work very well. They tend to lose their hold after awhile, but this problem is not unique to Aquarium Systems pumps, and is true of most pumps (and he

As such, they can be made smaller to handle the same bio-load, and are indeed space saving. As submerged media, however, they are wholly dependant on the flow of water to bring food and oxygen to them. In some ways, they compete with livestock (for oxygen) and can contribute deleteriously to water quality if overfed (fast nitrate accumulation). In the event of a power or system failure, this submerged media is vulnerable as it settles and suffocates its tremendous colony of aerobic bacteria. At

Hang-On & Integrated Wet-Dry Filters: Some wet-dry filters are designed to hang on the back of the aquarium. These are useful only for smaller aquaria, or in situations where there is no space below the aquarium for a true wet-dry filter. In most designs, more than half the media is submerged, which is a major drawback. They also do not have the capacity of a normal wet-dry,

In regards to what "Funfishtank" has to say, I disagree. Whether you cycle fishy or fishless does not affect how many fish you can add at once after t.

250W HQI (Double Ended) MH Retrofit Reflectors
I just got these in! I've been waiting to see them. They are very nice well built reflectors. Not flimsy at all. Vented, and they include a nice heavy glass shield. They are available in a 150w version also if there is interest? I dont have too many right now-I wanted to get a look at them....
