    How hot is too hot..?

    Get a good one, Titanium heater, temp probe and controller. They are worth it, I like the JBJ True temp others like Ebo (I think). Glass heaters are notorius for not working and having faulty thermostats. The JBJ heaters are a little $$, but I think they are worth it. They come with all the...

    I have a question about my aquarium!

    bubbles, Take it from someone who has made critters suffer! SLOW DOWN. Listen to these guys. yourI too went way too fast, listened to the LFS (most are trying to make a sale!), and bought before I researched. I had my tank crash and lost all, like dominoes. I was very sad and discouraged...

    Heater Size Recommendation

    I use the JBJ True temp Titianium heater with digi controller and probe, excellent. All depends on your $$. JBJ says 300w for 60-100gal. So two of the ones you are looking at would work. I don't know about the Ebo heaters, but I know the JBJs are good.

    Help with pH

    I have put a fan on it today, because for some reason it is getting alittle warm. And yes it is closed in and the sump/fuge is in the closet next to it. I think the warming issue is due to the extra sun we have gotten lately, normally there is leaves on the tree shading that side of the house...

    Really small fish

    Thats good stuff, Krish. You know, I don't really want to keep much of any fish. But on the other hand, I would like some fish to pop in and out of the rock work. My only problem is I don't want any big fish, I would like to get fish that stay small, under 1.5-2in. The only ones I found that...

    Supreme MAG drive, Quick question

    I was also going to mount the pump with the coils on top, so the water is running under the heat. Drawing water from the bottom, and the return on the coming out of the side. Hopeing for less heat transfer with this configuration. Isn't it great how no matter how much you plan, there always...

    Supreme MAG drive, Quick question

    I didn't think that much water ran "through" the pump, more along side of it. I also figured if the pump seemed to get hot I would set up a cooling fan. I ran the one 9.5 externaly, and every so often I would feel it for heat. It never seemed to be that hot, just a little warm, even during...

    Supreme MAG drive, Quick question

    Yes, I will rather not add any extra heat. It is always cheaper to heat than to cool, in any app.

    Supreme MAG drive, Quick question

    Yeah, I like the pumps. I used one for 11 years straight (fresh water), non stop, except for two moves and it wasn't shut down for more than a day. It was used as an external, I like the option of external or submersable. I think I have an idea to use it as an "external" without drilling my...
