Powerheads and pumps running also produce heat in the tank. I do not think, IMO, pushing bubbles from room air temperature would negate the heat that is given off by the powerhead. I concur with the others fans blowing across the water is a great way to lower the temp by evaperative cooling...

Don't you loose a large percentage of water processing through an RO unit ??? How about this for auto water change. I don't know how your tank operates but you should get the idea. Drill a hole low in your sump. Enough to drain say 20 gallons if opened. Install a solenoid valve on a timer. When...

I use the Pinpoint ph monitor and recently replaced the probe. I paid around $50 for the replacement. I think all of them are about the same price give or take.

Go to the next computer show you hear of. They are really cheap there. Heck buy two or three for the price of one. They work just use one or more.::)

I have never heard of auto water changes. How do you remove the water to be changed? Please make a sketch of the plumbing. Your description is not clear to me.

This has been revealed as a hoax by microsoft. http://www.comcast.net/video/secret-behind-slide-stunt/1212773065/Comcast/1212564670/

I recently bought a rose tip. When I got him home I did not have time to get it in the main tank right away. I left it in a rubbermaid container and put in a heater and small powerhead. When I came back an hour or so later I found the anemone found its way into the powerhead. I could not pull it...

I have one coral banded and two peppermint shrimp living in the same tank. There are also many large red legged hermit crabs with them.

I have an orange shoulder tang and it is probably the most busy and nicest behaving fish in the tank. Sorry

Beautiful but sounds like it is deadly. What else do you keep with it?

Do you have a sponge or prefilter of any kind any where in the system? Sponge filter, filter fiber, sock or something that may need cleaning or changing? They are known to be nitrate factories when not attended to.

If you don't have a lot of money to spend on experiments until you get it right, you should a lot of research. Have a plan like the others suggested. There are many different methods out their to choose from. Something that works for one may not work for others. Some methods are complicated and...

Bacteria have to develop to break the ammonia down to nitrites. Then bacterial have to develop to break the nitrites down to nitrates. Do a search on the nitrogen cycle maybe you can find out more. I don't think this happens in a day.

Bring a water sample to your local pet shop you do business with and have them test the parameters. Get some use out of them. Watch out for what they try to sell you to fix the problem if one exists. You should get a second opinion on equipment or whatever they suggest.

Maybe you should start with fish that would be reef safe. In the future if you expand you won't need to change your fish.

IMO your design will work. Your equalizer line (green line) should be larger than the line you supply the fuge with. The equalizer line has less head pressure to move water to the sump so you need to make that up with volume (a larger line). It should also be drilled low in the fuge so the...

Some people will do anything for attention. Even risk a broken neck

Why not try to stop the 100% water changes for a day or so and then check your levels.

That was insane. I don't think hurt would be what happened if they missed. DEAD maybe more like it. What kept them in the center of the slide?

What size is the green line connecting the fuge to the sump?
