Calcium is just calcium. Don't think that anyones calcium is any better or any more effective than any one else's.... at least from reputable good...
That's going to be a tough job. IF you KNOW you will be going to a 90g then buy for the 90g. However, anything that will handle a 90g well is going...
This really is a great little community here. One of the best I have been a part of.
Bout time.;) Big fan. Jon is a great guy to deal with. Learned a lot from him. Great innovative products too.
Just check that it is clear and nothing clogging any of the grates for the overflow or pipe. That the flex hose is clear and straight with no kinks....
What has been said is true, but it does not hurt a pump to throttle it. Based on the numbers you do not have to throttle it that much... Half??? I...
It's well known Mags run a little warmer than other quality pumps. Yet going from my Mag 9.5 to a Ehiem 1262 only saved me 13 watts. 13 watts for the...
Agreed^^^^ a 10g can "work" get one that will work well. Bigger is better. Get the biggest you can do. 11" wide will get real cramped real quick.

No sweat. Try to see if you can find any info on the carbon in your filter. That is a pretty common thing and done for convenience. If you have been...

Read the article in my sig on sumps filters and fuges.... hopefully you will better understand what you are trying to accomplish. Stop taking advice...
I just read the blurb on seachem... sort of liked Seachem... but once again more expensive than bulk stuff. I used BRS for everything. I don't know...
what's in it?
Here is some advice... you will go far in this hobby if you start early and do your home work and not rely on other peoples "opinion". That includes...
This hobby can get expensive, but small tanks are manageable. Anything special, or proprietary is going to be more expensive. Anything that can be...
Zero nitrates are not impossible... quite the norm for most. First of... zero nitrates is a misnomer... "zero" means there is no free nitrates...
Agreed ^^^ I'm not sure what your "filtration" strategy is going to be. There is no need for a W/D and a sump /fuge. Too complicated. It is generally...
