Hi, trying to breed som hyalella azteca but having trouble feeding them since they are so few and small, any ideas how to feed them without any risk of overfeeding? Regards http://www.agriculture.purdue.edu/fnr/faculty/sepulveda/images/Presentation4.jpg

Unfortunatly i dont have the money, the space or the means to get another tank.

Have 7 of them but thinking of adding another 3 or 6, they are so cute :D 2235

Hi, im doing a complete makeover of my 540liter tank and have 7 clown loaches around 8-11cm in length and i want to add 3 or 6 small loaches to it but before i add the fish i want to quarantine them for some time just incase. But i have no tank i can use, only a plastic container with...

Hi, going to build a fdf filter and use an eheim 2213 to power it and flowrate will be around 350-390L/H (92-100gph). Will be placed within the tank and have a height of 40cm(16inch). But i have some questions on how the design should be so came here in hope of getting them answered. Will...

Hi, have lately been looking into using a pipe as a canister for an external filter. Its supposed to be a plain biological filter to replace a fluval 403 in a 540litre aquarium. A 900mm long pipe with a diameter of 110mm, both ends will have a 110<->50mm adapter with the small end plugged...

Hi, thinking of building an over the tank filter with a 20Litre container. Wateroutlet will be through the bottom or one of the sides. The diameter of the outlet will be 38-46mm and end at or below waterline. Waterflow will be around 1200-1700L/h. The aquarium stands right next to my bed...

Yes. Space isnt an issue so will use a couple of 1.4Litre bottles, and a couple of modified grease nipples to get an easy and sturdy way to connect the hoses.

The tank i will use it in only holds about 25litre of water so doesnt take much to overdose. Thats what the waterbottle is for, to release excess pressure when the magnetic valve is closed. Yup 2 bottles and oneway valves will be used. Got it used so cant be returned. Cant justify the...

The best answer would be in the line of why not? and because i can. All i had to buy to test this was suger and yeast, to use pressurized co2 i need to spend atleast another 200&#8364;.

Hi, need a new ph-electrode for a ph-controller, is this one any good? Link to ebay.co.uk http://tinyurl.com/7l9oml I have a small test-tank up and running for the ph-controller which i could use to check how the ph-electrode works before i use it in a tank with plants or fishes. Would a...

Okay have an update, i hooked it all up with an airpump and the air flowed as it was supposed to, in the tank when the magnetic valve was open and into the waterbottle when the magnetic valve was closed. Yeasterday i started a real life test with diy-co2 and works good sofar, the only problem...

They are around 12-16cm in length.

Hi, i might change substrate in my aquarium in the near future and preferbly i want to take out all fishes when changing but have no second aquarium to use. All i have is a plastic container holding roughly 20litre of water with a lid, put it in a dark closet with an airhose. Could it be...

Ok. Would 15-25 mikron have any negative effects? If i go with a sandfilter it will be in a box ontop of the aquarium so filtering the water afterwards shouldnt be any problem. Yup have one, fluval surface skimmer. Fluval 403 1100L/H, 1/3 filled with coarse sponge and 2/3 recently filled(5...

At the moment im looking for something big, cheap and easy to build filter to replace the fluval 403 completly which can hold the already cycled filtermedia, but FDF could be interesting in the future if i can solve a few problems around it. Btw, is it possible to run "UGF -> pump -> FDF"...

Hi, i have for a long time had problem with debris floating around and wonder whats the reason for it. 150*60*60cm aquarium, true volume is 500L with 4x36w of light 10hours a day. Main filtration is a Fluval 403 filled with coarse sponge, outlet is aimed at the surface and intake is at the left...

May sound a bit crude but could put the ore in a bucket of water with a pump to get circulation on the water so as much of it as possible touches the ore and after a week put a fish in the bucket and se how it fares. Could also test the water with a home cu-test, no idea though how good they are.

Drawn up a simple overpressure release system. When the magnetic valve is open co2 will go down to a pump in the tank at a waterdepth of 5cm. When the magnetic valve is closed co2 will instead go through a T-connector and then to the waterbottle, the hose will go all the way down to the bottom...
