Would this be acceptable for a quaratine tank? http://www.aquariumguys.com/duetto1.html I have 1x Duetto 100 rated for a 20g tank with 90gph water flow and 1x Dutto 50 rated for a 10g tank with a 55gph water flow. They have a 3-stage filtration system on them. A high density fiber material...

I had an accident with my aquiarium about a year ago that killed all my livestock...it was a sad day. Anyway, I knew I was going to move so I didnt set it back up. I am in my new house and mounting my lights tonight and will start to fill it back up this weekend...I cant wait to see it all up...

At the beginning of the year I finally saved enough money to change out my florecent lights with a MH\T5 fixture from Aquatinics. I purchased the fixture with Icecap 250w upgrade ballast. They system came with 2x 10K MH bulbs and 2x 54w T5 bulbs. My aquarium looked really good before I...

I noticed this growing on a rock in the back of my tank recently. There seems to be more of it growing underneather the rock then on top. Any idea what this yellow looking fungus might be? and is it something to worry about? Thanks

Ok...reading over the dosing pumps a little... I think this is more of what im looking for at this point in time. I do have a few questions... Which one does everyone suggest in using? I am debating on the Aqua Medic, Innovative Aquatics, and SpectraPure... or is there another that I have not...

I have removed my glass covers, redesigned my sump, and have upgraded my skimmer to add as much ventilation as I could to my tank and still have not got the pH I desire. Thank you for the info though. I guess I will look into the Kalk. reactors. With the calcium reactors...where do you get...

Well my pH problem really isnt a problem. The pH in my tank roughly stabilizes around 7.6. I have read this is ok, but if I wanted to do corals I should try and get it up around the 8.0-8.3 range. I have used the powerders and liquids, but find that it raises my pH for a day...maybe two if...

What is the difference between kalkwasser and a calcium reactor? I have rea about some filter media that I thought would add trace elements and eleminate the need for kalkwasser, but I might have read the articale wrong. Im not necessarily looking for the cheap solution, but the right...

I have had my eyes on then Tunze Turbelle powerheads for a while (who hasnt?) but they are so pricey. I was in my LFS the other day and say what I thought was a Tunze powerhead but it was a Seio Super Flow pump. I was wondering if anyone has tried these Seio pumps and how they might compare to...

I have a few questions I cant seem to get answered clearly. I have always had a problem keeping my pH up as high as it needs to be and I am wanting to start keeping corals so I figured (from the research I have done) that a calcium reactor would be beneficial for both the pH issue and starting...

Looks very similar to this: Stomatella varia http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/picture_pages/faq_stomatella.html

I recently started a refugium and added some nassarius snails. After a week or so I started to see a different type of snail or slug or somthing. I thought it was just a nassarius snail, but then I started to see more and more and now they are starting to appear in my main tank. I am pretty...

I was in my LFS the other day and say a HBH Balance Brick that was about 3inch across and about an inch to an inch and a half tall. It looks like you would just through it in your sump and it would release all the calcium and trace elements you needed for your aquarium. Has anyone used this...

I have a pH issue with my tank. It stays at roughly a 7.6-7.8 level. I only have fish right now, but would like to get into corals. I have added the powder buffers to get my tank to the 8.2 range, but after a week the buff is all used up and the pH drops back down to the high 7.x range again...

I am on a bit of a budget aswell and would like a full RO\DI system, but for right now I found this at Petsmart and at most of the LFS. It is a water filter made by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals that hooks up to your kitchen or bathroom sink...
