Bubbles are completely harmless in the aquarium. Read this. :)
Hope it works for you, but I think the greatest change you might see is the amount of evaporation from your tanks. FWIW, I've rarely seen a basement...
Well ya didn't rack up over 3.5M karma by babbling worthless bs, Sparky. :D I kinda know the feeling... a lot of what I share I learned from other...

You'll get a wide variety of opinions on that, but technically, the short answer is no. Water changes are done either to import elements or export...

Reef Octopus, Eshopps, CPR... Just steer clear of the SeaClown. Most anybody that has used one will tell you it's a worthless POS (including me).

Sounds like you may have Aqualight fixtures, which use 28w T5 standard output bulbs rather than 54w T5HO. Not sure what type bulbs you will find for...
Must be a national epidemic. ::) Tank's moving kinda slow here for the same reason. Been off since last Dec and work isn't looking any better yet. If...
Glad to hear it's back on and everything's ok. FTR, falling temps aren't as critical as when they're rising, but I wouldn't purposely allow them to...
Exactly. Without pods or something similar, the mandarin will slowly die from malnutrition, even if it is eating well.
Very nice. Lots of cool frags in there. I noticed that you had removed some rocks- looks much better. I'm not a big proponent of the...
