Hi all. Lots of you have heard me babbling on about my multi-tank water change system. In case anyone is curious as to how it works, I finally wrote it all down, and illustrated it with photos. http://www.sonnysfishroom.com

This thread, in particular MAB's second post, http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/showthread.php?p=70921#post70921 got me to thinking once again about the possibility of using rainwater in one or more of my aquariums. I know that some folks find it very helpful in breeding corys...

When I bought my 180G tank last year it came with a sump and the associated water pump. I did not set up the sump but I do use the water pump for water changes. I am not positive on the ID of the pump, but I think it is a Supreme Mag Drive 9.5 based on comparing it to pictures on line. Here's...

That poll thread about changing water that started up in the fall has gotten me thinking about water changes in my fish room. At first, when I was setting it up, several folks here suggested I build in an automatic waterchanging system. Of course, in my haste to get a few tanks set up, then a...

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...

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...

So do you use when you are doing water changes

in my old article DIY : 24/7 New Water Drip System it works great for chlorine. but when i found out about Chloramine in my water. That system will be useless when chloramine is in the water. So i start looking for NH2CL (Chloramine) Filters but it will leave ammonia in the water. and its...

Water Changes... do you love doing them? Well I'm tired of the doing water changes every other day on 18+ tanks... The 24/7 drip system is a constant drip of "new" water and any excess water will overflow out the tank through the drains. Similar to a Overflow filter except it has a much...

I've got an Aulonocara Stuartgranti "Ngara" and Tropheus Duboisi holding eggs. There's also a Labidochromis Caeruleus that appears to be holding, too, but at 1.75", I doubt she's old enough to hold full term. It also looks as though my Cyrtocara Moori is ripening and will be ready to lay eggs...
