Massive.. Absolutely massive. If I was near Calgary, I would be tempted in purchasing some just for the graphite.

Easiest live food cultures with respect to requiring the least amount of input, care, etc? 

+1 warm is okay, hot = bad.

I'm probably not understanding the problem completely - so I'm guessing it is not possible to mostly drain the tanks for an afternoon - while you rebuild the shelves to get the bow out?

+1 Hydra

Had one show up in my tank once - but I think my endlers made short work of them.

Can you send me some spec's on these? Are they from Digikey or ??

Vaseline on the o-ring?

I have a tub of Silicone Grease - didn't work.

This video worked well for mine.

 

I will try this!

thanks

having some trouble with an older fluval 205 - I have a spare seal kicking around (brand new) and that didn't seem to resolve the problem - I don't see any gunk around the seal contact area - is my filter shot?

I agree with jvision - some 2x4 put in would be good. If you have trouble getting the 2x4's in there, you could cut them short, then squeeze some PL premium / subfloor adhesive in there - strong enough for your house floors, strong enough for your tank.

Along with the places mentioned, "The Find" often has old tables / desks.

@biodives: Curious - I'm generally against certain internet freeisms that abuses user data - but what do you mean in particular 

Any update on how these have worked out for people? Eh?

Looks good, especially the 4000k 90CRI units.

You may as well go with a larger 5 - 10 pound setup if you have the space. Putting cost aside, your time to refill the Co2 is worth something too.

Tried asking them a question - never heard back. Hopefully they are legit.

60$ seems like a really good price.

Besides Fissidens Fontanus, what native aquatic moss species are out there?

I have no idea if this is legit, thought it looked curious though.

Would it be safer to buy a seperate PSU unit?

I read that algea spores are in the air....

Eheim 2215 is currently going for 100$ in Edmonton. Typically 1$/gallon on AlbertaAquatica, unless the tank is in perfect condition, often more if out on kijiji. Broken tank, no idea.

I don't think the shrimp are going to function very well as little worker drones in your filter :-\

I know in my filter it just ends up collecting brown sludge, which I don't think is very shrimp edible.

Must be the fluoride they pump in Edmonton water

Woa, I tried to make a green water setup and it wasn't successful, and you get it in your Brita without trying :-|

I think the pack from princess auto was on sale a few weeks ago for 35$. No idea on the quality. I have the one from homedepot. I've done a lot of drills with it through granite. It works well.

I agree with Jvision, you want to make yourself a hole guide, don't free hand it.

I think it makes sense! I'm not sure how you got the humidifier to fit, but I think I understand your approach to everything else. Thanks for the explanation.
