Freshwater Tropical Aquarium Fish Plates

Enough of this Introduction to Economic Theory; lets get back to talking about fish and fish products! As I said before, I sell and use more Hagen powerheads that any other brand. If I am dealing with a freshwater setup, I use Hagens. On the other hand, if this is a saltwater installation, I give a slight edge to Aquarium Systems Maxi-Jets because they use a ceramic impeller shaft which are more durable in salt water than Hagens stainl

This kind of fish can often be seen going to the surface of the water to take in fresh air, making them survive waters with low oxygen levels. There are many different types of gouramis, which all originally came from South and Southeast Asia. Most species are easy to breed, however a few species like Helostoma temmincki (the Kissing Gourami), Osphromenus goramy (the Giant Gourami), Sphaerichthys osphromenoides (the Chocolate

One approach to finding out how we now know all this is historical. Just how, when did aquarists figure out the nuts and bolts of biological cycling? Well, its sort of like the question of "Did people really evolve from apes?". The answer to both is, "Not yet".

Original marine systems were "semi-open" (versus closed) with their administrators constantly pouring in new water, taking out the old, and hoping and praying their thinly stocked charges would survive another day.

Starting in the 1950s in the United States, Robert P.L. Straughan and others popularized the use of undergravel plates, along w

Unfortunately, it just does not work too well in aquariums.

Powerhead Maintenance

Regardless of brand, all powerheads are going to require some routine maintenance to keep them functioning properly. Intake screens should be cleaned at least once per month. Every three to six months I give my pumps a series of chemical bathes to clean them thoroughly. First, unplug the pump, remove it from the tank, and place it in a clean bucket that is only used for the aquarium. No mop buckets! Be sure to arrange the powerhead such that the output nozzle is aimed sideways (Not up! Youll see why in a minute!). Add enough hot tap water to completely subm

This reality demands that you pay strict attention to simple but thorough articles of aquarium husbandry.

With careful feeding, light stocking, regular water changes, etc., you will be able to enjoy a remarkably easy system at any size. Set realistic goals for the bio-load and have a planned stocklist in advance (including a proposed order of introduction). A super-sized aquarium

hi guys...
since you all wrote that....

ive cycled water, tested ph again ..tried nearly everthing you al suggested(th.

phosphates too high
hello again- Well my 90 gallon predator/reef tank has been up in running for about 7 months. Everything is running smoothly so far- water parameters are nitrate > 20 ppm, nitrite 0ppm, ammonia 0 ppm, pH 8.2, salinity 1.025, but phosphates are way to high it's about 5 ppm. For the past two.

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 fuge light is off and the display.
