Cyano typically hits a newly set up tank. then it goes away with usually the same fervor it came into the tank with. My cyano is close to all gone, and I did nothing to "treat " it.

I know this is outside your budget, but wanted to point them out. I use both and find them both excellent. I use this one to keep my DT level (I do not have a sump) TUNZE Osmolator Universal 3155 - English It is awesome. And about $200 . It includes the pump. I use this one to keep my reservoir for my ATO filled. But if I had a sump, I could use this there in stead of the Tunze unit above in my DT. Level-Loc auto top off unit for RO systems -...

Every tank we have has a Stealth in it. The temp is super easy to set, plus the heater is matte black with no annoying lights or anything like that. They're very durable too. We've never had a temp problem with any of ours. Plus, it makes heating up water change water in a bucket very handy when I do my 2 gallon changes in the mantis tanks because the heater only heats up where the water ...

If I understand you, you are saying that you ordered a cucumber and there was a seperate white pouch besides the bag with the cucumber in it. It was probably a heater so the water wouldn't get cold when it was shipped.

I think I may be able to help here. I recently tore down my 55g added a 90g stand in the old 55g stand's place and put everything back. It took about 3-4 hours and was a peice of cake. I first started draining the water. Then I removed all of the LR and placed it in a 30g rubbermaid container(purchased at Home Depot for $13). Once most of the water was drained it was time to wrangle some ...

looks like you listed more rock cause maybe you know you need more. or want more. Id get your rock foundation set before adding more coral. IME you will save tons o time in aquascaping in the future. you get your rock set than add more coral. dont buy coral then add rock moving all your coral.

hey Rob in the very old days of metal frame tanks that where sealed with putty leaving them dry to long caused the putty to harden, dry out and crack and they would then leak when refilled now days tanks can be stored dry with no special care required other than to make sure nothing sharp comes in contact with sealant as it can puncture it Steve
