The link here describes what it does pretty good! http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=11366&N=2004+22779 For all you non-clickers out there: Actually, they did a pretty bad job describing it. I have an idea of what it does, but not entirely. The described it...

Bad/dryed out seal perhaps? Reason being that when running, most cannisters are under a vacuum(except for the output), and water would not leak out, only air would be pulled in(possibly). When you turn it off, you lose the vacuum, and voila! Water Leak! I would try to lube the...

Mine was noisy for a few days, then the spray bar whine kicked in. The whine made me want to smack my head against the tank. After some searching, discovered that the noise was the spray bar. I would turn the flow down to about 1/2, and the noise would magiacally dissappear. Drilled the bar...

I keep my rescued betta(from Walmart) in my 29 planted community. He loves to lay on my melon sword, and in the hairgrass. The first time he did it, I thought that he had died, but after watching him for a few min., he got up, and went to the surface took a breath, and went right back to...

The part about being easy to grow is true. It is the only plant in my tank that has not been trimmed, moved, or thrown out. It does attract algea, but it seems to only do so when my Co2 begins to run out(DIY), and/or the pennywort takes over the top of the tank. BTW, my tank is a 29 gal...

The stuff that I got was from, dare I say, Walmart :D They had it in their garden stuff in their greenhouse. I have yet to use it, as the stand and hood is still being built, but the only inhabitants in my tank are going to be shrimp. So, as far as fish stirring it up, that point is moot...

Yep, I need a card for a regular PCI. It looks like the only difference between the 2 cards that have been put up is that one has 128 MB RAM, and the other is double. I thought that the higher the RAM, the better it could preform? I would just buy a new PC, but I'm going to buy a...

Thanks for the input. I really don't want to buy another computer for a year or so, so upgrading this one is really only the feasable option. I have another stupid question. I also probably need a new monitor, as mine is loosing its mind(it will change the brightness all on its own, not...

Whew.... I cleaned up his last post as good as I could. I don't think that I horribly skewed any of the very good info that BGK posted. If I did, please let me know! Now I know how my English teacher felt in school! :thud: BGK's Cleaned Up Post! I’d say it was 3 -5 days before the...

WOW Information overload! :thud: Great Prices, though! :dance: Would this work for what I need? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-145-087&depa=1 As I said, I ustacould know. I really don't trust my opinion anymore, and to top it all off, I was at Best Buy...

Well, After getting some games for Christmas, I finally got around to installing them...... I still can't play them however. It appears that my video card is not good enough. I need a new one. Any sugestions on what to get? I know that it needs to be a PCI(no AGP slots) Other than...

So what caused her "heart attack"? The cookies? :thud: :confused: We should all send the woman a cookie!

I would very much hope that our government would not use such plans of action on other countries, unless it was absolutely nessicary. I for one pray to god, and I hope that every other person alive prays to whomever they do that war does not happen. Especially with a giant like china. The...

One other thing with a supposed chinese war. China does not have enough land to grow enough crops to feed themselves as it is. If China did attack any forgien state, the whole world would repond. I really don't think that we(USA) would continue to send our food to a warring nation...

A little peat goes a long way. It won't take much(peat is VERY acidic) to lower the PH and keep it there. You may tinge your water a light brown color, but you could probably live with that. What kind of de-chlorinator are you using? Does it remove Chloramine? If not, get some that does...

Yep, Most of the money China gets goes into its military. Although, I would venture to guess that in a few decades, China is going to need the support to rebuild from thier civil war..... People in China are slowly figuring out what it's like to live elsewhere. China's "rulers" are trying...

Where I live, the nearest "big box store", walmart, is a 45 Minute drive away - 35 MILES of HIGHWAY. The only reason I go to these towns that Wal mart is in is because of walmart. If walmart wasn't there, I wouldn't go to that town. I do go to the small stores in that town, but most of them...

Most medications for killing parasites are copper based. It won't hurt the shrimp or snail.......it will kill them! :eek: Also, if you use this stuff, there is no real way to remove all the traces of the copper in the tank, and thus will probably kill any inverts you add later.

The reason that your cycle has not started yet is the Ammo-Lock. It will not allow bacteria to grow, because it absorbs the ammonia. Your Water supply adds ammonia? :thud: Are you sure its not chloramine? That will test as ammonia if you use a normal de-chlorinator. If you have...

I have a red melon sword in my tank. It was a freebie when I ordered my plants. Anyways, the leaves on mine come out a very vibrant red-purple. They will stay that way for a few weeks, and then slowly turn green as they mature. I do like this plant, as it has not grown very large in the past...
