Yep, always more than one way to skin a cat. :) I've placed rocks in a spare tank with just a powerhead and light. Without food, the algae and...
Very nice, Dexter. Good luck! :)
They could've lost their color for a number of reasons, including being stuck in the shade for a while before finally finding their way back into the...
You never want or need a valve on the main drain. If your overflow is set up correctly, the drain flow will match the return pump output and the DT...
FWIW, many times a fish will die and we never find the exact cause. Perhaps it just finally succumbed to an internal disease or infection to which...
I was gonna ask why you would be visiting a mail order bride site, but nevermind... I might not want to know the answer. Haha +1 Google is...

+1 They must be kept clean. They would actually work fully submerged, just not as efficiently.
Absolutely- I couldn't agree more. When I say "If your water is drinkable..." I'm assuming it's being tested for sound assurance. Here we have very...
Many cheaper T5 units don't have fans; you just need to change the bulbs a little more frequently as the heat degrades the color spectrum faster.
You're quite welcome. :)
