I've had an old Ken Marine RO/DI system 4-stage. It clear everything but it wastes water. Not sure how bad a water bill you can swing or if your county will flip. You can buy some 3 or 4 stage RO/DI systems on amazon. You could purchase Mixed Resin DI kits but their effect on chloromine has been...

Actually if your main concern is not killing the dog animal care and control is a bad choice. If it's chipped that's one thing but strays have a very poor track record in shelters. Get an ultrasonic motion detector alarm. Roughly $30 on amazon. It should keep both the dog and other stuff away...

That's if you do a DIY sump. Pretty sure your sump cost a bit more than few FX5s or even pro3s. As far as better filtration? You can put more media yes. Does it help? Depends on the set up, stock level, media used, etc. My 265 ran no issues with Rays and discus on canisters. Way less hassle than...

"his is not true if you're running an over flow the water level just has to be under the overflow weir and all you would drain is the over flow." Which he does not have on that tank. As I said earlier. If the tank is setup for over flow that's one thing installing them after does not go well...

You had the whole thing custom built with the properly done overflows. That's not a DIY sump or setup. OP specifically stated that he lacked the cash to have that done. Properly drilling acrylic for 2" pipe is bad enough glass is a nightmare.

Media yeah those filters are rated empty. Just like those pumps are rated at Zero head pressure. Head No. It's a closed system. The pressure is created by the water standing in the canister. The pump pressure is what pushes the water up and over the edge of the tank. The pressure produced by...

Um no. The canister is pressurized so the height of the canister had very little to do with it. The only thing the canister pump has to do is pump the water over the lip of the tank. It's pushing past media but the head pressure is very little. And it continues to be discussed for a reason...

Of the many dogs I've handled the most insufferable pain is my current Saint, anything looks at me cross eye she will instantly go into attack mode. Pits have been the easiest to train and work with. It's really sad they get a bad rap. I've gotten into more than one screaming match over some...

Sumps have two disadvantages over canisters. I ran a 265 for years on 4 eheims. 2 pro 3s and 2 pro2s. One of the pro 2 was a dedicated peat filter to maintain pH and yellow water of the amazon. You can hide all the tech with a drilled over flow that acts as you intake strainer. The tech hanging...

Filter Guys just like the old Custom RO/DI companies never had their own canisters and cartridges. No real reason to, GE, Philips etc make the actual cartridges. What you are setting up is the front end of an RO/DI system. Those systems (which I use on both salt and fresh water) have the...

I have two eheim pro 2 from when I first started fish keeping. The impeller cracked on one when it ran dry during a vacation, replaced impeller still runs. The other one has had not part replacements. Got them 22 years ago. Yes they are as expensive as all frag more so back then but so far...

Welcome and thank you for not just tossing them out or worse setting them free locally. Most of us have had that happen when we just started out. Mine was 2 tri color sharks in a 20 gallon.

What is the manufacture? If its all glass then bottom is tempered sides are not.

I have to say that initially I though the CDC was out of it's damn mind. However ebola arriving on US soil all by itself is a virtual guarantee. There is no way to keep it out in our current world. A person can be infected for days and be asymptomatic. There are no practical portable...

Massachusetts, New Jersey And New York for sure especially in the urban parts..

What? 8 comments in and no one is defending the thief as being a really good person and attacking the clerk? No the robber got exactly what he deserved.

Feel the need to chime in on the too strict leads to bad behavior. Oddly enough my experience is different. The only time I see that is when the parents are raging hypocrites. Like a mom who won't let her 18 yo daughter date but got pregnant at 16. If you raise your child (either gender) with...

You might want to reread that research carefully. That is when the species of large predator has been removed not an individual. Killing all the wolves in a local area is indisputably disastrous. Been shown every time. However if a species is on the brink killing the non productive old males and...

It's like a great many number of topics. If you try to jam your agenda down someones throat they will react badly. Take your pick. HR699, Firearms, Eminent domain, Obama Care, BSL... It's a fundamental human trait. So long as you do what you want to do and let me do what I want to do cool. The...
