Hey man, Tank is looking pretty good! Your best bet to combat that cyano, if you can't move the powerhead (or whatever it uses for flow) is to restructure your rock. I had to do it to my 29g recently because of dead spots due to my 3 dimensional rock pile. After i changed the rock a bit, no...

Here's the one I purchased on advice from this forum: http://cgi.ebay.com/AQUARIUM-2-110GPD-RO-2DI-REVERSE-OSMOSIS-water-FILTER_W0QQitemZ120170805107QQihZ002QQcategoryZ20756QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem So far it's great! I bought the faucet adapter to plug it in where my garden hose...

Basement finishing is FUN! :P

That little fan? No idea...can't be very much, though, running at such a low setting.

I'm getting ready to rip up the old floor in a 700 Sq Ft. basement, and I'd like to do radiant heat when we pour the new floor. Anyone have any experience with such? I'll be plumbing it in as a new zone on our oil-burning hot water boiler system. Thanks! damon

If you set them to push rather than pull, I would guess they would last a lot longer. I ended up using a 7 inch clip-on-the-bed-headboard type fan from walmart for like $13. It pushs a heckuvalot more air than your standard CPU fan, and since I run it on LOW, it's very quiet.

Sorry, but I had to get rid of the hawk. I loved the lil guy, but I just couldn't keep any crabs, snails or shrimp without him killing them. And he bullied all my other fish, too. Great personality, though!

This is the very end of one of the articles over there, and what made me try the no skimmer method. I have a skimmer in the closet from my old 55g, though, and if it ever becomes necessary to use it (who knows what the future holds) it's there. But, so far so good.

If the tank was larger, I'd say your best bet is both, but with a 30 gallon, I think a skimmer is unnecessary. Of course, take that with a grain of salt, as my tank is a new learning experience every day. :) Oh, and as far as the CPR unit, I do really like it. The pump in the tank hasn't...

Fuge. I'd do exactly what I use now: CPR Aquafuge Full of Chaeto with nitrates always at 0. Waterchanges are easy on a small tank. Plus, the amount of pods that this thing produces are great too, and they just drain into the tank. My magfloat is now like a little pod dining room, too. ;-)

Well, if we're talking about a 53 Chevy that's been rebuilt for the same $$ that a new Ferrari costs, I'll take the 53. :-)

If you really want to have fun in a prison, try The West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville, WV. It's a bit of a hike, but for $50 they give you the run of the place from 8pm till you want to leave the next day. My wife and I did it a few years ago, and when we went astray from the...

Well, it certainly LOOKS cool. ;)

Re: Attention: Show us your FTS (Full Tank Shot, in case you don't know the term

I was having some issues with cyano on the sand. My guess was so much rock was creating dead spots. I rescaped the tank a few days ago:

The only problem with trying to fix whatcha got with a computer that came installed with all sorts of bloatware is that it's a total uphill battle. All that crap is like pollution. Sometimes it's best to just burn a dvd or something with your files (or multiple dvds) and start fresh. Well...

As an aside, my JBJ ATO is the best thing that ever happened to me. Yeah. The best. ;)

You can appreciate the fish w/o appreciating the owner, ya know. Like a jackass in a nice car...it ain't the cars fault.
