If the flow rate is going to be decent, you would want the air stone to be on the intake aide of the bio-balls. This would pull the air through the...
Nice! I've always wanted to attempt sustaining a fish species on live sponge or coral. Let us know how the sponge keeps up.
If they are medias that share the same flow needs than yes. Some media needs to be tumbled while some needs to stay still as not to grind itself up,...
The technology is definitely ready and LEDs are an awesome way to go. There are also a lot of tiny companies out there right now that are looking to...

Everyone in the hobby refers to PAR a lot when talking about their lighting, but I wonder how many even know what their lights put out or even what a...

This may be the missing link in my knowledge of cleaner wrasses. I've seen conservatively 30 that began eating the first day they were introduced to...
Thank you. Looks like I have some reading to do...
