I don’t see much mention of efficiency in the pond pump discussions. The topic originator had to replace an existing pond pump, and couldn’t wait very long to get a replacement in place.
We’re using a Laguna Max Flo 2400 (submersible pump which can handle small solids, enclosed in a cage) which is […]
Hello,
Unforeseen circumstances have caused UniQuaria to set in place a few guidelines that all our members should be aware of. These guidelines will be updated as needed and posted to the list once per month. This frequent posting may be a nuisance but since new members are continually subscribing, this is a necessity. I […]
I see. Well, today’s research showed that this is a common problem, and since frequent drastic water changes with gravel siphoning aren’t getting it under control, I ordered a eheim sludge extractor and gravel cleaner on sale from Petco. It is a basic battery operated gravel vacuum, but it gets particularly good […]
While many people do 50% or larger PWC’s, doing more than 25% PWC’s at a time can result in a change in water parameters too much, too fast which can result in pH shock, temperature shock, osmoregulatory issues, stress issues, etc.
That article was dealing with a SW tank and did not give any actual test […]
I have a 10 gallon tank, live plants, that I have had running for a couple of months now. I feed it with flake food daily and all my API tests are running at zero with a pH of 7.8. (I started it with a filter from an established tank along with some […]
Mary,
Respectfully, I disagree. (And please don’t snip my post you are replying to.) One has to use common sense here and not just become rabid on the issue. Some extreme aspects of this discussion of keeping every non-native species out of the environment begin to sound like […]
Don,
First, no one wants excess goldfish in the numbers that are produced by goldfish pond spawns. And second it is cruel to the fish to give pond raised fish to kids who will put them in bowls or small aquariums where they will not be cared for properly. No […]

I will go along with your comments here. Feeding less than once per day is something that I only do when I see my water temp has dropped under 50 degrees or is over 90 degrees.
Ususly with my water temp between 68 degrees and 75 degrees I will feed 3 or […]
