    Planted tank shrimp deaths.

    Combination of issues likely did the shrimp in. 5g is a small volume of water to keep fragile animals in. Adding diy co2 isnt very precise and can screw with water params. Lastly plants use o2 and produce co2 at night so adding co2 and not o2 may have been too much. 50ppm nitrates will kill...

    PASSENGER PLANE GONE MISSING!

    With roughly 100,000 commercial flights worldwide daily, thats a pretty small number of issues considering. Sure its horrible and I hope technology keeps advancing so this type of thing doesnt happen, but by the numbers, flying is one of the safest ways to travel. Id be willing to bet in SE...

    is this canister set up worth 200usd?

    Ive used those lifegard filters before and they arent bad, very customizable and can be run on its side which was a big plus for me fitting it where a normal can wouldnt. That being said, heater module is probably helpful but not necessary, UV would likely need a new bulb which might be tough...

    540 filtration opinions

    Going down from 2" to 2 1" will cause added head pressure and work to blast water harder which sounds like what you are going for. Id recommend you buy a bigger pump than you think you need to account for head loss etc. With enough flow you dont need to worry as much about the water flow...

    How to rinse 300 lbs. of substrate?

    96x30x1"=2880in3 or 1.66ft3. Gravel weighs roughly 100lbs per cu ft so you will need roughly 150-160lbs of gravel for an inch of substrate in your tank. Depending on the type of gravel you buy it may not need to be rinsed much if at all. Rinsing really applies to sand but cant hurt gravel...

    Do Stock tank leach???

    Should be fine, many people use the rubbermade stock tanks as ponds and I dont see any reason to think that would be any different. Keep in mind they are usually sold as horse watering troughs so 1. They arent toxic 2. They are designed to hold water and 3. They are usually quite sturdy and...

    Pre filter in overflow?

    When I had mine I bought some 16" coarse prefilter sponges from lfs and drilled a bunch of holes in the side of the stand pipes but left the top open for water to go through as it did before so when the sponge clogs water takes its old path not through the prefilter. Wish I had pics to better...

    can anyone ID this bee?

    Found it dead but was by far the largest bee ive ever seen. Im pretty sure its a type of hornet but internet search said no bee in SC could be larger than 1.8" long and this is say was atleast 2 5" prob closer to 3" long. Im almost positive it isnt, but the only thing I can find close was...

    Water changes

    Nope. More frequent smaller wc will keep the water more stable than larger less frequent wc. You could argue say 10% daily wc isnt as effective removing nitrate as 1 70% wc once a week. But changing 30% a day im sure is keeping params excellent and gish healthy

    Henlei and black diamond

    Leo and bd can be tough to differentiate especially with people calling rays what they arent and the definitions being somewhat loose but henlei and bd should be easily recognizable first by the price, and 2nd by color and spotting. Henlei more often than not are more of a really dark gray and...

    any idea for a small flesh eating fish?

    If you are trying to clean a carcass dont people use beetles? I mean I know tons of fish would but I think youd have to be more specific whether we are trying to clean say a large animal carcass or something small etc. http://www.skulltaxidermy.com/kits.html

    Best canister filter?

    After owning filstar, marineland, fluval, and sunsun I finally bought an eheim. Then I bought another. And ill never buy another canister other than an eheim classic. Simple and reliable. I was laughing not too long ago someone was looking at their eheim classic and it was so old it had...

    How are the gas prices in your area?

    Only thing I like about the south is the gas prices. 2.58 for reg at parkers yesterday. Id never sell my rx8 but id be lieing if I said the thought didnt cross my mind as I avg 18mpg on premium, so this definitely helps. (Dont laugh that mpg comes from a 1.3l smh)

    think your filtration/current is too strong?

    I hope thats a typo and you ment gph not gpm. I remember the flow out of my old hammerhead gold and that wasnt even 100gpm. 600,000gph would be quite intense id imagine lol
