We all know about Mag cleaners for glass, and soaking powerheads and pumps in vinegar, but what other things do you do that help in cleaning/maintaining your tank stuff that is not typical. I'll start with two simple things I use. The top thing is a garden support stick made of metal...

MP10 also do not have this blocked area.....all ribbed all the way around. I also perused the manual and found no mention of positioning this blocked area.

Jing, best of luck with the sale. I know when the dust settles, you'll be back. Best of luck.

I've had MP40's for a couple years. I clean the wet sides whenever I find the time....maybe every three months.....I know, not frequently enough. Never really paid attention to how I put the cleaned wet-side back in the tank.....just threw it in there. Well, I cleaned the wet sides...

I don't get this. I just looked up the specs on both the Eheim Jager and Sera heaters. I prefer Jagers, with Seras as my second choice, but the Jagers are just too long (for the same wattage). Anyway, the 300 W Sera is rated for a 40 - 80 gallon tank, while the 150 W Jager is rated for...

Wow! Two quick responses. Thanks. Pete and Kevin, that's what I wanted to hear. I knew the two 300's were overkill, but originally wasn't sure if two 150's would be enough. I got a pretty good indication when I saw that one 300 was maintaining temperature. And Kevin, I run my heaters...

I don't get it. I haven't added anything to my tank in at least a year, if not longer. I'm cleaning the sump...pulled the skimmer, return pump and biopellet reactor out and sucked all the water and schmutz out of these two portions of the sump. Low and behold I find a hermit in the skimmer...

Haven't updated in some time....busy with a sick mother. Walked in to check the tank this morning and the water temp was down to 77.5 degrees. I run my tank at 78 and it is typically rock solid at 78 to 78.2 degrees. I run two heaters, and one must have died a while ago, and the other...

You can now feed your fish without needing batteries or electricity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIviEsVyz8M :p :o

Did they have the leg lamp in the window?

Brandon, you're like a kid at Christmas Calm down, it's just a powerhead......not to mention, you'll shoot your eye out! :o

Sunny, sorry I didn't get back to you....I was out of the state. I'll take the Brute. Please let me know what day works for you. I'm pretty flexible. Thanks, Paul

It might not be listed anywhere. If it's a "conventional" big black wad of plastic in the corner, or centered somewhere, and has a "conventional" 1 inch durso drain pipe therein, it is rated at 600 gph. If you have two of these massive overflows, just double it, and you have a 1200 gph...

That half inch stuff from Everything Plastics is a deal at 100 smackers.

What is the rating on your overflow. That will help determine the rating on your return pump.

My wife continues buying fish stuff.....here's the latest.....a fire stick. You push the anal fin all the way forward to extend the fire stick portion and push the dorsal fin to light the stick.

The oldtimers here know it well.....June 2011. It's my understanding that the company hosting our site packed up and dissapeared overnight. No one to contact to retrieve all the forum information. I think it took about a month to find a new host and get the site back up and working from an...

The second membrane doubles output while reducing waste water. Look HERE. Because you are running the waste from membrane one into membrane two, the life of the second membrane is reduced.

You can do this through the glass as well......and extremely easy if the overflow is symmetrical.

Aquarium glass tends to be clear. Standing in front of your tank, with a tape measure, you can see the side glass by staring through the glass. Place the one end of the tape measure on the inside edge of the side glass and measure to the other inside edge. Repeat this proceedure for your...
