nutrient) elimination. I eagerly await the commercialization of these units.

My respect is not so great for anaerobic denitrators. Denitrification is just what it appears to be; a reverse of the biological processes weve gone over called nitrification, with nitrate being converted back to nitrite, ammonia and finally nitrogen gas. This feat is accomplished by other bacteria species that thrive in the absence o

Frankly, you should have no fear constructing a manifold for how inexpensive the framework is to build. In the worst-case scenario, a scrapped structure is a lesson of $20 or less in plumbing, which is a pale and worthwhile investment in light of the value of the display tank.

Next we must decide on the type of nozzle for inside of the manifold tees. They should be movable/swivel and ideally be able to restrict or regulate water flow. Its at this point where the projec

The second largest usually becomes the breeding male, while all the other fish remains juveniles and gender-neutral. If the breeding female disappears, the breeding male will change to a female, and so on. Buying an established pair maybe a reasonable way to go, but it is often better to have a group of juveniles growing up together. If you choose to buy a pair you should look for a pair that goes around together. Sometimes you can be luc

Your betta should go for the food right away, but if not, watch where the food sinks, and what the betta does. If more than 15 min he has not eaten the food yet, remove the food. Never let the water go cloudy. If it is already, then change it, as cloudy water will threaten your bettas health. N

I still cannot fathom what kind of reef they envisioned with their meager holes/flow rates. Their flow-through capacity is crippling hello algae!] A closed loop pump on the display, with or without a sump installation, can be harnessed to power a manifold as described above. Since the intake is tapped through the display body wall, and the return is at or above the water surface, there is no risk of an overflow as with a sump from return lines that dip too low and back-siphon in the event of an interruption of power (assuming the safe running sump level was not calculated and obeyed). There is some concern, however, with the protect

Hi, my name is Victor and I'm a fish-a-holic. Have had FW for years and years and years.... Tried SW in college, but I didn't inhale. (or research it) = tank-o-cide. :( Any who, just bought an established 30 gallon from a friend. Compact flourescent (T5's) 1 actinic 1.

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 for the real tinkers out there :-)<.
