Turboncoupe76,
Well… you’re saying that as if you don’t like Bio-Spira. I hate to burst your bubble but Dr. Tim’s One And Only is the new Bio-Spira. Dr. Tim Hovanec invented Bio-Spira (among many other advances in the aquarium industry) and then when Marineland sold out to Tetra, Dr. Tim formed his own […]

powder blue dwarf grami

The smaller neons could be troublesome when introduced to a new home. They seem to have a much higher death rate than older, more mature neons. Is this a newly set up tank, or have you maintained it for some time. What are your water parameters–pH, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates?

Angelfish laying eggs

Amber, An air-operated sponge filter would be best (and safest) for Angelfish fry. While a power filter having its intake covered with a sponge barrier may work with those filters having a control to adjust/reduce its flow, without such a provision the fry can still be sucked up against the […]

[AquaticLife] Power Outages and effect on good bacteria

Sizing a UPS can be a lot of fun. If you buy a 750, most people assume it can handle 750 watts, however, UPS’s are really measured in volt-amps. You can look and look on your electronics or other appliances, and not find a volt-amp measurement anywhere. There is a white paper that kind of […]

[AquaticLife] Power Outages and effect on good bacteria

Thanks for the tips Lenny, we have the battery backup systems on most of the other electronics (tv, cable box, computers etc), but that’s a good idea to get for the fish tanks. I’ve noticed our battery backups don’t last that long, rarely even the 20 minutes that the box says they […]

[AquaticLife] Power Outages and effect on good bacteria

You should be OK as far as the nitrifying bacteria go. You might have had a small die off but they are capable of doubling their colony size every 24-48 hours (depending on water parameters) but more than likely, you won’t even see a mini-cycle. Something you can do… just for your filter […]
