Supplies You Need For A Fish Tank

First, imagine what is going on between your pump (the motor, housing, volute and impeller) and the lines bringing water to and away from it... What would Elvis say? "A whole lot of shaking goin on!". Next, think on how soft PVC is and what will happen to it as time goes by with all that vibration twixt the pump and its plumbing... Small wonder so much salt creep and many leaks occur here. There are a few things one can do to avoid these messes.

1) The pump... lo

This classification is also used with very aggressive fish, or those that can eat larger fish, requiring special consideration when choosing tank mates.

G - Venomous. Exercise extreme caution when catching, or when cleaning the aquarium, and do not keep if you have small children.

H - Fish that should not be sold or purchased because they are rare. We felt the need to emphasize this one. Imagine public reaction to our hobby if it were discovered and published that the aquarium trade was responsible for the extinction of a species.

Note that we have also included certain invertebrate species, which we strongly feel are being e

Some fish that shoal (school) together in the wild, will not live for a long time if they are not kept with large numbers of the same species (There are however, a large number of shoaling fish that will do well if kept by themselves). Some species weve listed may be particularly sensitive to cert

This prefilter design greatly reduces the chances of the siphon action breaking, either from collected air or when the filter pump stops.

Wet-Dry Filters: Wet-dry filters are typically rectangular acrylic or glass reservoirs that sit below the aquarium. Most are divided into two basic sections, the "wet-dry" chamber and the "sump." Some wet-dry filter models may also have additional sections or chambers for in-sump protein skimmers, de-nitrification systems, canister filters or for pre-filtration of the water.

The wet-dry chamber houses the biolo

Metal halide bulbs come in various color spectra, from 5500K to the new 10,000K and 20,000K lamps.

We favor the 6500K lamps, in combination with 7100K PowerCompact lamps. Although some would disagree with us and recommend the higher color-temperature lamps, we feel that the results do not justify the much greater cost of these lamps. Weve tried all of them, and while the 10,000K and 20,000K lamps do produce a warmer appearance without the use of actinic lamps, weve seen no appreci
