15 Gallon Fish Tank

No, every real cold/cool water system must face trouble without cooling. Dont rely on floating "ice bags, jugs" to keep system temperature sufficiently cool. Buy or build a chiller.

I have seen (and even written, a zillion years ago) how-to articles on building your own chiller; some authors showing how to retrofit a "water-cooler" compression unit, others ut

Even for "fish only" systems, a pound or more per ten gallons of either or both LR/LS is about all thats called for to get things going. How to apply the rock and/or sand? Plunk, sprinkle them in. Done

Very solid materials are necessary for aquarium stand construction overall.

Lighting any tank is a matter of depth and delivery. The transmission of light is reduced at increasing depth. The luminary needs of the inhabitants will dictate the hardware necessary to meet the demand. For photosynthetic plants, algae and animals in water deeper than 24/60cm, metal halides may be required. For large marine aquaria that are long but shallow, modern efficient fluorescent lighting will work very fine like T 5 technology. Whichever lighting you choose, be sure

However, we have found that not all members of a given Family or Genus are equally hardy. For example, while many species of Pseudochromis have proven themselves as "cycleable" species, we have not had success with Pseudochromis dilectus, and several other Pseudochromis species. There are also many fish

nstead utilize a wet/dry trickle filter with a very shallow layer of gravel merely for decoration and to cover the bottom pane of glass

The other interesting option with these powerheads is the needle wheel that is included to regulate the injection of air into the water stream coming from the pump. While this is kind of neat, it is not really that useful or necessary. I generally forgo the air injection in all marine setups because the bubbles bursting at the surface of the water creates far too much splash and salt spray for my liking. A

Dark room. Lights on in tank.

Use a tripod if you got one.<.

Question about rock
I am not sure if this is the place for this, but I had to start somewhere. I am going to be doing a 90gal. soon and wanted to know if I can use limestone as a base for my reef? I want to fill the tank with the limestone and then see.

Daphnia For The Aquarium

Daphnia are a great food source for both young and adult aquarium fish, you could catch them with a net in a pond, but their's a risk of bringing in parasites. I just found an article about growing daphnia yourself, nice read.

Anyone use Quiet One 3000 or SEDRA 7000 submersible pumps?
Howdy, Anyone have any user feedback on these pumps? Reliable? Noisy? I'm looking for a potential replacement for a finicky and LOUD MAG7. This is for a Remora Pro by the way. Thanks!.
