    Lots of foam being produced in wet/dry trickle filter

    An algea filter will asborb a bit of the NH2, NH3s remember there is more than one way to filter a tank. I belive it is best to use a couple of they ways to filter a tank and not rely on just one...

    Herbie Method with out overflow box?

    you can use a two part epoxy to make the plex glass box stick to the glass box. then silicon or hot melt glue to seal it... the two part epoxy i'm talking about (there are tons) is the kind that one would use to stick rocks together or rock to glass. In the UK it goes my Milliput or Aquascape...

    Upgrading to a bigger tank question

    you really want more room front to back. that will open up loads of space. a 75 is better than a 55, but you and your fish will have more room if your tank is bigger front to back..

    Algae Problem..HELP!

    don't for get the aptaisa! there are loads of ways to kill it... i like to use a REALLY strong mix of kalk in a syrenge... a proper clean up crew will do wounders! also you could do a refugium. it makes a place for algea and critters to grow that isn't in your display. I prefer to grow cheato in...

    Sump/Fuge questions before I start soon.

    Basement setup keeps growing - now at 5 tanks

    I'm not an expert, but if you covered your clam tank at night that would be GREAT! my tank is in the garage, and my temp wasn't very stable for a bit, then i put more covers on. if i remember right from solar heating books, single pane glass "reduces" light output/throughput down to 92% double...

    Basement setup keeps growing - now at 5 tanks

    Nice set up. I wish i had that much room. Does this mean you're never finishing your basement? if you wrapped your tanks to fight heat loss make sure you slow down evaporation. it makes a HUGE difference!!! glass or plastic wrap that keeps food from spoiling works great.

    Finally found a use for these!

    Mine barely fit into the egg crate that i have. I haven't used them like that very much. I've used it some when I've glue another chunk of rock/shell on top of it. I also use a cable tie and have it go through 3 or 9 of them (depending on the size i want and how long the cable tie is)
