    I just spent 2 hours cleaning my 4 power heads. This is the first time I have removed and cleaned them since I set this tank up in December. I soaked them in boiling water (from the stove) and bleach for quite some time and then scrubbed them with a toothbrush (an extra one, of course).

    The flow was so enhanced that I had to remove one WP-25 entirely. I definitely recommend this monthly.

    She's a 1-year old fullbred black lab. She's going to be a handful.

    Good looking puppy. Love labs just keep objects out of tail range!

    Yeah, so do I. She's my 5th lab. I've had a yellow, black, chocolate (currently 13.5 YO @ parents), Black (currently 10 YO @parents) and now this one.I adopted her from an organization that took her in after her owner surrendered her because of personal health.

    Thinking of adding a Bubble Blaster to replace my failing pump. The question is, which model.

    My current pump s rated at 290 gph w/ 10 cfu air

    BB 1000 is rated at 250 gph w/ 19 cfu air

    BB 2000 is rated at 250 gph w/34 cfu air

    Is the 2000 going to be too effective?
