The gravel should be in the tank with the fish and filtration… unless the “another tank” refers to another fish stocked tank. The nitrifying bacteria needs the ammonia from the fish and decaying detritus as the starting food for the nitrogen cycle.
Technically, used gravel right out of a running tank and then put in […]
I always do my rocks in the dishwasher on sanitize, no soap. I got yelled at by a guy on a forum once who said one rock chip and goodbye dishwater motor! So at your own risk.
However, the dishwasher does not remove algae.so scrubbing is still required.

Yeah this is the worst winter I’ve seen since I was a kid, and I dont’ think that one was even that bad. So it’s been easily 15-20 years since we’ve had this much snow, especially all at once. I’m so ready for the rain to come back, at least I can […]
You are in the dirty south… unfortunately, it’s only south Alaska. LOL
I did have to wear a wind breaker with my t-shirt and shorts the other day though… and we had about an inch of snow back in the middle of December (I think AlGore calls that global warming.. lol). We usually get snow […]
Sounds like I need to move to the ‘dirty’ south as you so put it Lenny We have had intermittent rain in between snow so there’s now ice under snow and more snow is coming down. There is easily 3 1/2 to 4 feet of snow out there, and much more […]

Hmmmm.. that sounds like a cooler pack, rather than a heater pack. Are you in the frigid north or down here in the dirty south, where it’s 73F outside right now? I don’t even remember where DFS is located off the top of my head but I suspect they are up north. […]
I was just reading my most recent edition of TFH (Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine), the February 2009 edition (why do magazines come out one to two months early anyhow?) and in the Q & A section, someone asked about the difference between store bought driftwood and the kind we might find in the wild.

The tubing that comes with the filter is pretty thick, so they probably had the standard tubing that came with it, unless for some reason they wanted even thicker tubing (not sure why someone would). The tubing on the filter is fairly stiff, not made to bend very easily, not sure about […]
