The water tank that I got at a meeting has a 1 3/4" hole drilled at the bottom. I'd like to either plug it or be able to pump water from it. What type and size bulkhead attachment thingy do I need?

My 150 gallon tank has an Iwaki water pump connected to Ocean Clear Pleated filter canister to Ocean Clear bioball canister and I just added a 1/3 HP chiller that needs a 180-600 GPH flow. After connecting the chiller the flow going to the chiller is 200GPH with my other 2 returns closed...

Has anyine tried using freshwater clams to help with filtration?

I changed my water this weekend and was happily surprised that it came out of the tap at about 7.0 - 7.2, whereas normally it comes out at around 7.6. I am suspecting it is because of the loads of rain we recently had. Anyone else with the same experience or thoughts on the matter? (I'm in...

Hello just wanted to show you guys my new water change setup. I went to home depot and purchased a flotec utility pump. most of my tanks are in the basement so i mounted the pump in the window. the pump comes with a 6 foot 5/8inch garden hose for the intake, which i necked down to 1/2 inch and...

I need to start a green water culture. I have read a lot about using miracle grow to get it going. Anyone ever have any experience with doing this and then feeding fry with it? I usually use dried grass from my yard, but right now it is under 2 feet of snow!!!! The grass always gives me a good...

This happened again this weekend. I have a 30-gallon, set up for two months, with two established filters, lightly stocked and lightly fed. I test every morning for nitrite and it's zero. I did a water change this weekend, about 25 percent. I added more than enough Prime. I did not shut off any...

Does anyone here have a "point of use" electric water heater? This is the type that heats the water as you need it. The one I looked at says it puts out 2.6 gallons of hot water per minute. I am concerned that I will not be able to do water changes with it. I am also very interested in lowering...

Anyone have Water Sprite to sell? Anyone? Bueller?

I just discovered that listening to Weird Al Yankovic's "White and nerdy" while doing water changes is both entertaining *and* ironic... So what's your favorite music to listen to while doing water changes?

So do you use when you are doing water changes

Are there any cichlids that will do well in colder water, say mid 60s to low 70s? And by well, I mean I'd be able to breed them at those temps. Thanks. Joel

What do you use to test the base water? I am not really asking about things such as Ammonia, but the hardness and chemical composition of your water before fish. I have used a couple of chemical water test kits in the past, but since I am now going to get a room going again, I thought it...

I am senile, forgive me...31 going on 80 apparently. I have test results, please pm me!

Does anyone has some extra one for trade or free? Where do you buy them or get them anyway?

Hi guys, Im from Massachusetts and found your website and decided to join the forums. After reading some threads, I can tell that you have a nice helpful community here. I have been keeping fish for around 16 years and recently have gotten back into it a lot. I have 3 Tanganyikan tanks and my...

My water bill has been pretty high, but didn't really think much about it until I talked to a neighbor and found out his bill is less than half of mine. I live in Vienna, VA and I pay over $200 every quarter. I have a 265G discus tank that I was doing 30 ~ 40 % water changes every 3 days or so...
