power

I was cruising through Petsmart looking for sponges. I stumbled across a MARINA POWER FILTER SLIM S15 on clearance for $5.47! It is a HOB filter rated for 15 gallons. Here's the hook, it's only 2" (two inches) thick!!! It's powered by a AC 10 (or similar looking) power head that sits in the tank...

Man, lost power about 30 minutes ago. Hope I get power soon. I have plans to go into the city for the night. This is not good. :-(

I'm looking to sell or trade some items so I can get some things together for a nice rr 90g I picked up. Some things I'm looking to trade for- a nice 48x18 w a lip that hids the bottom trim of the tank, some nicer more efficient lighting, sump, pump etc etc. I'd just like to get rid of the...

So, last week my wife texts me around noon. "I just came home and we don't have power." I am like 'oh oh, when did the power go out?' I called the power company and I get a recording saying the issue has been already reported and the estimated time for the restore is between 2 and 4. Not bad...

My power went off early Sunday morning. Have been cycling my canister filters and AC filters on 3 times each day for about 20 minutes and my sponges the same using a battery pack. So far everything seems ok, but I feel the need to feed the fish. How long I'd the maximum I can go with out feeding?

There's a good chance that some of us will be facing this in a few days. I'm sure some of you have generators. But for the rest of us getting by on battery powered air pumps and battery packs -- what is a good strategy? In the short run, we need to keep the tanks oxygenated. In the long run...

I bought these for a 36 inch power compact fixture but ended up selling that so I have four extra spare bulbs. - 10000K bulb that has never been used. Asking for 25 - Brand new Coralife "Colormax" bulb that has never been used. Contains 6700K and the special "colormax" temperatures which is...

My electric was just restored after being off for 15 hours. What do I need to do in my fish room? The tank temperatures are 72F degrees I have canisters on my 2 larger tanks, 110g and 65g aquaclear 110's and on my 2- 40g's the other 10 tanks, 20g's & 10g's all have foam filters. Baby Brine...

Hey all, Since we lost power and I lost some fish due to no heat I think it would be neglectful to not take action should this happen again, especially since we are expecting the possibility of more power losses this week. I was told the best option would probably be an Uninterrupted Power...

I read that over 422,000 have lost power. Hope you have power and if you don't, hope you get power back soon. Going out to shovel snow. One branch fell down from a tree on my front yard, but all in all came out ok. Very pretty outside.

Looking for enough power filter(s) for a 125 gallon tank. I know I could go with a canister, but I would just pefer the power filters. Please PM me... I might even have an interesting trade or two. -Rich

Stole this from MFK Will an open airline blowing huge bubbles is going to generate a lot more movement than an army of tiny bubbles. But the army of tiny bubbles will provide a more consistent pull instead of a pulsing one, right? Does anyone know the pros and cons of airstone vs. open line...

Here's an interesting little item. Some of our members keep fish from Lake Kivu. (Young Matt Quinn, I believe.) The Lake is thought to have given rise to the species that later gave rise to the specie flock in Lake Victoria. However, the lake is also heavily stratified, with the deeper...

We're without power, as a result of this morning's storm, and I'm not expecting power for several days, based on what I've heard. Luckily, I did a water change last night in each of my three tanks. Guess I'll be doing water changes every evening for the next few days. Anyone have a guess...

BGE informed us today that they will be cutting the power on our street tomorrow at 9 am to replace some power lines. They anticipate the power being out for up to four hours. Should I be worried about my fish tanks during this time, or is four hours short enough that the bio filters should...

So in regard to canister filters, I've read that if the power goes out the filter keeps pumping or something like that, flooding the room. Am I mistaken at what I'm reading ? Someone educate me.

Well I am withou power in a couple feet of snow with blankets on my tanks and typing this on my crackberry. Wish me luck. We already went without power for 6 hours last night. THIs SUCKS.

I really need to get some of those battery-back-up thingamagigs. I hate the potential for power outages and get really stress out. What do you folks use? I'm not talking about a generator or the short-term computer back-ups things, but that product that is like a marine battery into which you...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9wktSQdyaE Several years ago I had a few of these in my shop. So yes, I had to see if they really shocked you. I reached in and grabbed the fish and yes it shocked the S**T out of me. I pulled my arm out of the tank and knocked the lights and everything off of...
