    My block pond build

    Muratic acid would probaly be a better option for something that large. My family owns a masonry company and we use diluted muratic to scrub block. Its available at building supply places like home depot and all used in pools to control ph. I wouldn't suggest it as a long term solution for...

    Best adhesive silicone?

    For braces and sumps regular GE 1 silicone is acceptable. Its available just about everywhere. Its pretty standard. If you were doing something bigger then there a few better options then the classic GE1. This stuff

    Forgive the question but did you put the magnet down or up?

    AquaClear 30 rattling

    On many newer pumps the magnetic impellers have a little plastic piece. The metal rod through the magnet gets little plastic caps on the top and bottom for it to ride on and maintain alignment. If your impeller was out when you got it the plastic guide may not be in the correct spot or is...

    Gender of my Channa Asiatica

    I've only seen these twice in person and they were both identified to me as males. Yours has a similar amount of spots on the dorsal fin. So I'd vote male. But again, limited experience, anyone else confirm.

    Air lift tube volumes?

    For air driven lift tubes, such as those used behind matten filters or in sponge filters. Does anyone have any rough numbers for how much water they move? The only numbers I've seen for sure are swisstropics very large 1.25" (32mm) tubes move 400-500 gal/HR at 400 lt/hr of air. Looking for...

    IBC Viewing window

    No offence intended but I'm generally curious. You've bought an FX-6 which is not a cheap filter and several expensive fish. Why the IBC? Is glass or building materials expensive in your area? There are large fiberglass ponds with windows in the available. I belive They are used for...

    PayPal me $250 +shipping costs and I'll go get it for you. I found the manual on that thing on marine lands sight. Its 140 gallon. I'm curious how much this thing was new, had to been $2,000 or so for a commercial unit with chiller,

    Found an odd tank today

    I stopped in at my local habitat for humanity store today, never know what you'll find. Came across this marineland branded tank. Has space for 3 sections. Waterfall return. A sump and chiller unit underneath. I think its a lobster tank from a grocery store or resturant. Anyone ever seen a...

    Undergroung/sponge filter design

    Thanks for the feedback. For the noise reduction part I meant I'd be running a large air pump not in the room. So the only noise would be the bubbles themselves. I was just trying to reduce the wiring since there will be 10 tanks on the rack. If I were only running shrimp and corys how often...

    Undergroung/sponge filter design

    I'm working on a breeding/display rack for smaller tanks (by our standard). I'd prefer everything to be air driven for noise reduction and simplicity. Looking at a 10-12 tank rack of custom built tanks that would house mainly Small shrimp, plecos, corys. Many of them need very low PH which my...

    Water Changes - Drip vs. 25% for shrimp

    Trying to finalize my designs for my tanks I'm building. The last obstacle is bulkhead placement if any. Many of my tanks will have neocaridina Shrimp (cherry's) along with Plecos, Corys in many of them. Should I set up these tanks for drip water changes with an overflow or set up the...

    Water remineralization

    That could work. Thanks for the idea. My original thoughts were that my water is very hard, has chlorine/chlormine in it and consistency. I'm looking to start running tanks in the 6.5-7.0 region and that is just something I've never been able to do with my water. My thoughts were to set up a...

    Water remineralization

    This isn't something I've seen discussed around here a ton but there are many of you who keep fish who are used to softer waters. My local water is very "Hard" PH of 8.4ish with high GH/KH. I forget the numbers offhand. I'm looking at setting up a dozen tanks for shrimp and plecos that like...

    Most black fish?

    For that size tank you could maybe do black and white fish like convicts with a slightly darker substrate to hide algae growth.

    Pond Height Concern - Glass Thickness

    You could use the smaller piece and have the window towards the top of the tank. The water column depth at the bottom would only be like 22". But youd be looking down or to the side for a large portion of the tank.
