It then turns off and stays off through the next cycle of #1 and #2.

This diagram should help to illustrate how the outlets are cycled on and off in relation to each other

All one needs to do to operate this wavemaker is to plug the powerheads in the display into those three outlets to create a mixed, random flow pattern. The downside is that cycling on and off i

.. no detectable ammonia, nitrites; low nitrates (less than 10ppm), low phosphate (PO4, less than 0.05 mg/l), high redox (up to 425), elevated calcium (ideally 400-475 mg/l), pH 8.0-8.4, alkalinity 2.5-5 meq/l, near-saturation oxygen (generally about 7 mg/l)...

Here is a brief review of filtration types employed for reef use, with my comments on their suitability, and current

2) Vent them! Provide tees attached to overflow lines (higher than the tank) and discharges (to slow down the water, coalesce air...) to aid the water along gently. The former has been done for many decades but is popularly credited to a "Durso" designation (www.dursostandpipes.com/) and can be p

You have a few options, trying to reduce the toxic compounds through dilution, addition of anaerobic bacteria, adding macro-life to absorb the chemicals, selective chemical filtration, or moving the livestock to a system where there are less toxic conditions.

Dilution Solution: This is a matter of removing the ammonia, nitrite laden water and replacing it with pr

In Conclusion:

The best time to install centralized filtering is when first building out your location; although this great leap forward can be accomplished effectively when remodeling/upgrading your set-up. Whenever you decide; do it! The savings in reduced livestock and personnel stress is considerable. The difference will show in a less-sore back, cleaner and safer store and larger profits.

I've heard of people traveling with dogs, cats, and even an occasional fish. But this Chicago hotel takes vacationing with pets to a new level. They will provide a goldfish....

Mud sump
Hi, my husband is starting a new 170 gal tank with a 100 gal mud sump for me. Is it ok to take maybe a third of the mud from my 50 gal mud sump and use it like a sourdough starter? How long would it take for it to cycle? Thanks.

Just another question
Ok I was noticing that a lot of the higher end tanks on this site have timed lighting including dawn and dusk and I think that is so cool and I am sure that it is great for the tank. I on the other hand don't have that luxury and turn on my tank whenever I get up turn it off when I go to bed. I there a problem with the inconsistency or is it just not as g.
