I have a small flea infestation in my carpet directly in front of my tank. They originated from a dog that no longer lives in the house, so how can I get rid of the fleas safely without using chemicals that could likely end up in the tank like carpet flea powders.

I am looking for recommendations for a sterilizer that can handle flow rate at least 1000 gph effectively

I have owned 4 mag pumps. While I think they are great pumps, I have always used them submerged because they always leak, even brand new.

I have an Urchin Pro which is the sump version of the Remora and it started producing waste about 4 days after installion in a brand new tank, so it may start at any moment, otherwise contact Aqua C's customer service. They are very good, and the product is excellent.

I have a 1/4 hp Aqualogic Cyclone chiller and just yesterday it started behaving strangely. It will turn on every 15 mins and run for approx 75 sec to 105 sec (I timed it) then turns off. I keep the temp in my tank at 82 deg. Whenever it turns on, the controller reads 83 deg, but it can't be...

I use a 1/4 hp Aqualogic drop-in chiller in a 220 gallon tank. The coil lies in the sump under about 5 inches of water. While this chiller is a little undersized for this tank, I have turned off the A/C and with indoor temp. around 100 deg the tank cools down to 78 deg no problem. It also does...

I did this before and the next day almost everything in my tank was dead. Seems that the vacum somehow circulated the stuff into the air, the ceiling fans then picked it up and distributed it nicely around the living room, including the tank. The fish all had symtems similar to ammonia burn...

I have been arguing this point with some folks for a while and now I am asking for some input. What is the ideal temp for a FOLR tank with primarily tangs and angels

what should the approximate dimensions be for a refugium for a 220g tank
