Hi Joe welcome top the group!! glad to have you advised is always welcome.

All the reports from the various suppliers around here will at least reference the use of chloramines, if not show an actual average measurement.

I’ve been wondering why you have been waiting for the water people to reply.. The company or town department that supplies the water should have a web site, and on that web site should be the latest report available for public consumption that will tell you whether chloramines are used and a lot of other […]

I just started a new welding business in July. Talk about lying awake at night. Since then I have been looking in to companies who make off brands for big box stores. I havent bought a Marineland or Eheim since I found out about this. Petco brand filters are made by Penn […]

Someone did mention it as a base. If I am not going to place lighting right on top of the tank, plexi would make a nice cover, otherwise, I’d go with glass cut to my specs–one covering about 2/3 of the tank top with cutouts for airlines, filter, heater. And one about 1/3 to use […]

Bill,
You still have the chance of water spilled seeping under the Styrofoam, mo matter what form factor it comes in. You do also have that likelihood of just having a bare tank set on the wood surface. Face it, you are dealing with water in a container here. Sooner or later, the water will spill […]

Hi \Steve//   Yes, it is my shortened your lifespan that gives me concern. Be advised this stuff is dense foam with aluminum sheets attached or bonded to it but I suspect it will serve to protect?  Bill

Deb, As \Steve// suggests (points out), usually as a normal progression of Hemorrhagic Septicemia in fish, it will be noted as starting at the base of the fins — not as starting at the exterior finges of the fins. While I couldn’t get a very clear picture, it doesn’t […]

The Nitra-Zorb that I have has a pretty big package (55G tank size) of zeolite so I’m not sure if yours is as big so you may not need as much water/salt solution but it won’t hurt to use this same formula.
4 tablespoons of salt in 8 oz. of warm water and soak for at […]
