    Storing mixed saltwater and keeping it fresh

    You definately need to aerate the water before using it, I like to aerate for at least an hour or two before adding it to any of my tanks. HTH, Skip

    Filtering a 2.5

    I have seen alot of people use the Palm filter (I think its made by Azoo), it has a flowrate of 16 gph so it shouldn't make too much current in your tank. HTH, Skip

    Picture of Tank

    I think the name of the tank you are looking for is a "Melody" tank.

    Bio-Spira

    I would wait until the LR is added so the bacteria will have more places to attatch themselves. Plus any dieoff from the LR would feed the bacteria. JMO, Skip

    Electric Orange?

    I am not familiar with an electric orange hermit (the problem with so many common names for the same thing) but if it is the same as a halloween hermit here is a link with more information about them including a pic. HTH, Skip Link: http://www.petsolutions.com/Halloween+H ... 75-C-.aspx

    10G filtration question

    If its the full width of the tank then I would think its going to be enough flow to prevent any dead areas. It won't hurt to check but I think you should be fine w/o the powerhead. Good luck, Skip

    10G filtration question

    That will depend on its placement and how much flow you need to prevent dead spots in your tank. After you put it on the tank add some flake and see if it settles right to the bottom anyplace, if it does then that area could use more flow and you may still need the powerhead or you might just...

    Upgraded pump for a nanocube

    Now that the pump has been running for a couple of days all I can say is that it rocks! It fits in the pump area just fine (it sits slightly twisted due to the way its built). The current is great, I have the return routed through a Hydor Deflector and I am impressed with the random current...

    Upgraded pump for a nanocube

    Hi all, I just tried a pump that I haven't heard of anyone using to upgrade my nanocube. I wanted more flow than I was getting from the MiniJet 606 and didn't like the flow I got when I added a second powerhead. I began toying with the idea of trying a MaxiJet when I remembered that I bought...

    My ten gallon nano.

    Ghostbear29, He may not have had the 96 watt powerquad, I have seen 20" fixtures that were 18 watts or a pair of 18s. A 70 watt MH is quite a bit of light for a 10 gallon tank, he will be able to keep about anything he would ever want in that tank with size being his only restriction. Plus...
