I used the CPR HOB fuge on my 55 and it worked great. I used it in conjunction with Prizm skimmer and a Filstar XP3 canister. Eventually pulled the canister and had no problems. Then of course I upgraded to a 75 gallon DT. I have a 30 gallon sump/fuge thanks to Mikem.
First one:
How much electricity do pumps and lights consume? My December bill was a little over $100 more than usual. I know I had Xmas lights on two trees and decorations outside. I have the following on my tank:
a- Return pump 600 gallons per hour, brand unknown
b- Koriala 3
c- Mag 5 on a...
What is the problem your experiencing? I would be a bit concerned with the NO3 and suggest performing some water changes to bring it down. I also have a problem with the color charts and always ask my wife and kids what color it looks like. Doesn't help as they all see it different.
I had a pair of orange ones that bred in the tank in about 3 months. Also, have silver ones that bred a few times. I have one baby that has grown up, it's in my sump. They did a great job of algae control and didn't bother any other fish.
Reaching out to the schools is a great idea. I have given my kid's teacher the Tetra info for three years now. The first time they were able to get a 10gal tank and set it up a freshwater tank. The second year the teacher wasn't interested and this year they adopted chinchillas instead. The only...
There are no LFS close by that sell RO water. The closest place would be AqOb, which is about a 20min drive. I opened the window yesterday and propped the canopy open a little. The PH went to 8.1 maybe 8.2.
I did some research on Kalk and the websites state to mix it with RO water, not tap. I don't have an RO unit or access to one. Can I mix the Kalk with tap or water from my tank?
Carlo,
Thanks for the repsonse. I run into that CO2 problem every Feb and usually add an airstone to the tank. I have added powerhead to the tank and the other side has a Koriali 3 pointing at the surface angled left. I also adjusted the return hose. The surface gets much movement in my...
I had some problems with my PH, which was posted in the Zoa forum. I was able to raiie it from 7.8 to 8.1 using Kent buffer. I know, I know. Anyway, did a water change of 7 gallons on my 75 gal tank and 30 gal sump. I just tested the PH and it dropped to 7.9, test was done 3 hrs later. I assumed...

Most online stores are like that. I used to order from Pet Solutions and they were great at giving back the credit but always had to pay a second time for the shipping. If you didn't specify ship all items together they would only ship what was currently in stock and credit you. Yet again paying...
