But youll sleep better with thicker acrylic.

Tight corner rounds. Most people recommend at least a one inch radius on the corners of cutouts. Youll see quarter inch radius rounds more often. Quarter inch is probably fine but get larger if you can. If you have a crack at a quarter inch corner round, the round probably wasnt the culprit. It was simply the highest point of stress and therefore the most likely place for a failure c

For smaller-large (under a few hundred gallons) pressurized filters are best for periodic (i.e. non-continuous) use; like cleaning, gravel vacuuming. Remember to clean them out when done, so they dont go anaerobic when idle.

Humongous systems, and ones with heavy bio-loads (large, big-eater livestock) do well to include a pressurized filter. Some of these use cartridges, sand of different sorts, and other more novel media. Once again, be aware of their costs

of inadequate maintenance, where the aquarist neglected regular maintenance, fed too much of inappropriate foods, had too much bio-load reminds me of folks getting defibrillated for myocardial infarctions (heart attacks), If you would have stuck with your 12 point maintenance program we wouldnt have to jump start you. Honestly, if youre marginally diligent in gravel vacuuming/water changing, stirring your gravel and other simple aspects of proper aquarium husban

Exactly which cichlids that were used to create the Flowerhorn is a well kept secret only known by the breeders who developed the species but they did most likely crossbreed Trimacs (Amhilophous Trimaculatus) and one o.

Where to place my Zoa's??
I was wondering how much light most Zoa's need. I am thinking of putting the new frags lower in the tank, right on the sand bed or just a little above. I have a 26" deep tank and I am using 250W MH and pc Actinics for lighting. I have some zoos that are doing fine in the mid section of the tank and a large colony that is quite near the surface that is also doing well. I am wondering if .
