Most heat loss will not be through the glass, but through evaporation. As water evaporates it sheds a LOT of heat energy. I you can cover your tanks to reduce evap. this will help the most.

Took some hunting and no small amount of $ to find some manzanita bigger than just a single arm length branch So I'm going for the riverbank / sub merged forest look. I took the big beautiful stump I got from Tom Barr and took a chainsaw to it. Smoothed back and top flat, broke off all the...

Mine is being made out of Pur-Flo 2 high canisters plumbed off a close loop off of returning to the sump. http://www.customaquatic.com/estore/control/product/~product=FI-MF2C-V-G http://www.customaquatic.com/estore/control/product/~product=FI-MF2416 I had to modify the filter housing a little...

Actually that is not correct. The big advantage with K1 is how the bio-bacteria grow on it. It has outer surfaces and inner surfaces. The outer surfaces are constantly rubbing against each other in the moving bed and scraping off old bacteria and allowing new bacteria to grow. This is why the...

You need a "good" 25 watt to control algae and bacteria and dual 40 watt to control parasites and protazoa http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/emperor-aquatics-smart-uv-lite-25-watt.html Good and cheap dont mix on UV. Either spend the money on good unit that will last the life of the tank or you're...

It's being built to commercial grade filter specs. If you guys cant see or understand that, that's fine. I'm not doing anything that is not already done by people than run public aquariums and fish farms. No one bothers to do it on a "home aquarium" (except for the reef-junkies) because it's...
