OT for Ray

Oh, you mean those machines that are not affected by malware, yet more of them are infected each day?
We have a business critical application that will not run under Vista. There are many older peripherals that will not run under Vista, often because the manufacturers have not written drivers for them. And if you go […]

Angelfish laying eggs

The only reason I am hesitant to breed anything more than simple guppies is because my LFS (well the owner rather) is rather… umm… profit orientated only, which means for me to sell any of my babies to him I would have to basically beat his wholesalers prices. Not to mention I […]

Angelfish laying eggs

Amber, As opposed to the wild silver/black-stripe (natural) color pattern which, by its very definition, is fairly constant it will be noted (as you’ve already indicated) that Koi Angelfish’s color pattern can vary considerably even within a given spawn. Your Koi Angel will not develop any more black spots, […]

Turning On The Light?

Are you currently using CFL’s? What type fluorescent bulbs are they? Are they general spectrum or do they have a designation? Any idea of the lumen output?

[AquaticLife] Turning On The Light?for \\Steve//

Bill,
For fish only, a “cool white” bulb should be sufficient. If you want to get fancy, and spend a dollar or two more, a “full spectrum” bulb may show your fish to a better advantage than a “cool white” would.

[AquaticLife] Turning On The Light?

As I mentioned in my reply, comparing wattage was for savings you might obtain using CFLs. As I mentioned in my reply, output, in lumens, a real measure of light output is much greater per watt in CFLs than it is in the regular fluorescent and incandescent bulbs.
Currently, there are a large number of options […]

Bill,
The compact fluorescents are old news. What you really need, to save on electrical costs, are the LED lights.
Actually, compact fluorescents (or CFLs) can be a good way to light tanks. They come in many flavors, and have the ability to provide many more lumens per watt than standard fluorescents. If you are considering a […]

Question For Our Moderator’s?

I just checked some lists where I am just a member, and the members option was present on the menu. However, and this has confused me in the past, why does this option get turned off by owners who then sing the tune, “it was done to prevent spammers from getting your e-mail address”. The […]

[AquaticLife] 1st Fresh Water Aquarium

I have no stories to tell about ammonia, but regarding nitritesÂ…I did have a 0.5ppm spike once, and guess what alerted me? The fish were all hovering at the surface, gasping for air. The chemical was definitely impacting their ability to breathe.
The tetras I cycled my tank with died within a […]
