Wallmart Aquarium Fish Tank

Nitrogen compound testing gives you that.

Basically, all living things are made up of molecular building blocks called Amino Acids (AA for short). These are structures of carbon chains (some with sulfur), oxygen, hydrogen that are linked to one another by amino bonds to form proteins. Amino bond sounds a lot like ammonia, because it is. The nitrogen cycle is the sum total of processes that convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into compounds useful to animals

rlin-Style Filtration: Live Rock & Protein Skimming

Either take the above prototypical wet-dry systems media out entirely or start with a bare tank, add a large quantity of cured live rock to aforesaid wet-dry sump or gravel-less tank, toss in an efficient protein skimmer and you have the essence of a Berlin-Style filtered set-up. Further commonalities of such arrangement

There are many ways to achieve this mythical "high water quality". For folks fortunate by geography there are open systems, pumping new water from the sea and overflowing old to waste. For most all aquarists however, the sum total of what we do to preserve

Most are engineered to be oriented in a certain aspect. You want to mount the pump in this orientation... Perhaps not on the same plane/level as the sump/tank it is servicing... in the event of a flood.

2) You want to make a solid junction between the lines going to/from the pump and the plumbing they attach to... but it is very likely you will want to provide an "intermediate" junction... best of stronger/thicker PVC, nominally Schedule 80 (that heavy gray stuff). For FIP (female) fittings the material of choice are Sch 80 risers or nipples... that have male to male threads that can be threaded into the pump volute (the part covering the impellers with the fi

The ebb and flow of the currents and the swaying action that they create has been a goal of many a fish keeper. That desire has led to ingenious Do-It-Yourself devices such as the Carlson Surge Device and the Toilet Flapper Valve Surge. However, these units, while effective at recreating powerful wave-like surges of water, also have there down sides. They are bulky, cumbersome, unsightly units that

OT:Found this on the Yahoo news area, made me laugh so hard.
Sorry but I thought this was too funny :laughroll . http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/35244816.

Shelldweller from Lake Tanganyika

Lamprologus ocellatus

There are several species of shelldwellers in lake Tanganyika, but this .

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 m.
