He is a little over 2 years, i am honestly shocked he pulled through the last beating he got a year or so ago. Fine when I went to bed almost dead with actual dime size hole in him, the next morning. Nice thing about such a large sump is it's a great hospital. It was so bad the second day in...

My other favorite "angor rot" he used to be pretty docile, but I had to remove him twice in his life time because he let my bumblebee beat him pretty badly. Now he doesn't take any nonsense from anyone. There is finally peace in the tank angor is to biggig for the bumblebee, and my polleni...

Love the polleni, can you trim the top of them? I looked here https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/papyrus/papyrus-plants.htm And it says they grow 10ft tall. I might try and pick some up this week.

Its possible there was contamination, all I know it always tested the same, and before moving to plants even with weekly 50% water changes or drip system I couldn't keep my nitrates below 60. That was years ago, when I had strong plant growth I saw them drop to about 20 for the first time. Once...

@duanes I clearly need more plants :-) gotta get that lat 5-10ppm gone. I live in Kansas city and indeed they claim the city water is 4ppm, however in the 12 years I have lived in my house built in 1950 I have tested many times with different API test kits all come back solid 20ppm. I do...

Been a long time since I have been here, but thought I might share my journey from biomeda filtration to plant based filtration, and ultra low maintenance. For almost as long as I have been in the hobby I have used the drip water change systems to try my hardest to keep nitrates down, with...

So sometime last week my power head got unplugged, well i guess since it had been off for so long my GT thought that it was its home. I noticed today that it was unplugged so i plugged it in head the horrific sound, unplugged it and out floated what was left of my baby GT. so i guess my lesson...

imho that type of filter has not changed much, as far as design. I suspect it works just as well as current gen of the same type.

well this sucks not sure if its the two new fish, or the new lights or the rock I added to give the smaller fish shelter; or combo of all but the jewel who has been living with magneto for almost a year now freaked out and kicked his but and tore up the fins on my new GT. only fish he left alone...

I am not sure what the African is it like the possible JD was in a tank in petsmart unlabeled I bought two of them but only one made it the first week. the possible jd i am guess is a jd but i got a couple days ago in a tank full of green terrors. I call the African Magneto

Due to a sad sad indecent involving my daughter I lost my reef tank, so I moved over my 6 lamp VHO t5 to my grow out and wow do the colors pop on my fish. three 12k's and three 450nm blue's mixed white blue white ect. Cookie to who ever guys all 4 specimens:

Crazy how they change no? I was looking for some fish food a year or so ago and saw yellow oscar it was not albino or gold but a nice yellow. i bought him on the spot hoping he was some type of fluke and would stay that color. 14" later he is just a normal tiger, but cool none the less. I...

no idea what it is, I am guessing jack dempsy maybe. it was in with the green terrors and mixed peacocks at petco. went for food bought this guy on a whim. KDlSCQqjqTM

Migt be willing to buy stuff if you want. But stuff used for fresh or marine can be used for the other if cleaned properly. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

So I am some times let's say lazy about cleaning my tubes after each test. Now in 5 years of fresh I have never noticed this before. Using these tedt daily while cycling my reef I have noticed blueish stains on the inside that won't come out even with scrubbing the inside. With paper towles.. do...

i have 3 complete ro units only using 1 so the cost would be a new membrane. There is a fish store around me whom only deals in cash so there is very little overhead as uncle sam doesn't have his greedy numbs in the profit. I bought my first 6 stage ro when i got my first fish tank then never...

Thanks for the feed back oughtsix: thats what i was wondering if it would end up just the same as using tap and not any cleaner, the only real thought was if it would be cleaner then tap, then I would be willing to pay for it. 20ppm nitrate out of my tap sucks. bassguy: I have been doing that...

the question is really about the water that would result from the waste/production mix do you think it would be cleaner then just tap. but to answer your post yes i know to use the carbon blocks as i said i have used this before. as far as taking all the good stuff out that's why i said...

i got a hammerhead baracuda open box unused from ebay for 250 last week. this thing is a monster 6600gph

i would check your cities water quality report it will tell you how much ammonia is in the tap water normally in the form of chlorimine http://www.kcmo.org/idc/groups/water/documents/waterservices/wqr2011.pdf it should look something like that and every city has to give one. on page 6 of that...
