30 Aquarium Hood

Intervention methods by aquarists; water changes, chemical filtrants, sped-up complete biological cycling (wet-dry filtration, algal scrubbers, abundant, vigorous live rock, macro-algae) can be brought into play to successfully limit the "bottle-neck" accumulation of nitrate ("8").

Expediency and Rates of Reaction:

Depending on such factors as the physical format of food/wastes provided, temperature, bacteria population dynamics, and oxygen supply, biological filtration in your system can be a forgotten breeze or an unending nightmare.

Unfortunately, goldfish are very vulnerable to disease, with young goldfish even more so. Many new goldfish owners have watched their goldfish die in their fish tanks or aquariums only days or even hours after purchasing a goldfish. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to preserve the health of your goldfish. First, do all that is possible to make sure that your fish is healthy. If there are any sores on its body, pass on it. Before you put your fish in the fish bowel, let th

Their reasons? They worked. Not much was commonly known as to why. Now we "know" that the aforementioned beneficial bacteria thrive in such settings with their chemical food (ammonia, nitrite, oxygen, and CO2 as a source of carbon) flowing oh-so conveniently by the nooks and crannies living space provided by the "holey" substrate.

Even today, with the advent of macro-algae, reef, "Berlin" and other "live-rock" systems in use providing the same habitat, circulation and buffering advantages, undergravel filtration remains the predominant method of

It simply slips on over the output and using a variety of gears and the pressure of the water flow of the powerhead it converts that straight jet of water into a revolving, diffuse flow of water. As a test, I ran one of these on a Maxi-Jet 1200 for one month without a prefilter in my 120 gallon reef display before it failed to operate. I then removed it, gave it a quick cleaning, reassembled, and it was performing as good as new again for another month before it required being cleaned again. The entire maintenance procedure could not have taken me

One note on their use though. If you decide to purchase one of these, be sure to account for any reductions in flow rate or down time due to powerhead cycling in your calculations for total circulation needs.
