    Fitration

    The casualties are a definite since my second Elephant nose has a chomp out of him and my clown loach is missing. I have also not see the two Flying foxes again. Is it possible that by increasing the current I have also managed to speed up their metabolism there by making them more hungry and...

    Fitration

    I have a 780 liter tank with a built in biological filter that pumps + - 800 liters an hour. This week end I added an external canister filter that does 840 liters per hour.

    Unfortunatly I cannot remember the name, I bought them when I was cycleing the tank. I had to destroy the other one last night it was displaying the exact same symptoms.

You could try various rubbing compounds, while I was a glassblower we had some successes with toothpaste and a polishing head on a dremmel tool, this how ever often just make things worse by making a dull spot. If the scratches are on the outside...

    Co2 injection

    Has anyone tried to make one out of a Soda Stream Machines bottel? I have an old one at home so the fitting should fit then all that is needed to be added is a preasure gauge and a regulator, the cartridges are freely available, cheep and you could regulate the whole contraption more accurately.

    Different Algae

    I only put a third of the recomended amout in about two weeks ago would it still be that prevalent and would this be a problem if everything else tested fine?

    Different Algae
