Thanks Otty! Up and running with 2-35 gallon surges! Of course it's on a friends tank, but it's great! Mine will be much smaller, and I am not as...
OK- sorry I've been gone for the holiday... Yeah the surge will be less strong with the double chamber design, but I believe that all of the...
OK I am building (and have been buidling for about 2 years now) a 48" square plywood tank. And I am planning on incorporating a surge device. The...
Not necessarily... A tank filled with tapwater containing even undetectable levels of NO3 will build up over time to toxic levels as water...
First off Nitrates don't really affect fish until the levels get REALLY high (>150 ppm) so I wouldn't worry about that. (The reason FOWLR tanks are...
I am using a 5 gallon bucket for a fuge. However, your decision to have a mandarin is yours, but I would recommend that if you plan on keeping him...

I like to post this for people that are just starting out... It illustrates what is going on with a cycle, and describes how a tank isn't fully...
How well does the nitra-zorb work for you?
Current tank sprung a leak... 2 tank design shelved.
Yes that's what it looks like. Don't know why they put VHO on a MH and PC light though..
Man that looks blurry, it's not blurry on my machine though... . Thanks Guru for posting that....
No everything is already plumbed for the 1K tank. So it would mean undoing what has been done. If Kent can't stand the bubbles, then I don't know,...
No, I don't use a scrubber, just a refugium. But the principal is the same, scrubbers supposedly work even better though. At least thats what I...
