http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/ug.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=9433 Everything is 3/4 inch thin walled PVC except the little arms that come off the bottom. You can see four valves. The main valves are to shut off the main flow. The valves on the side are to open up suction to ta...

Pictures. If you can't see the pictures you can go directly to my post at http://www.nano-reef.com http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=120141&st=20 http://www.nano-reef.com/gallery/data/504/medium/IMG_00351.jpg This is the heat exchanger. It was machined from 1 inch acrylic. All ...

Update: Well I learned that trial and error coupled with indecision can be expensive. I bought everything I needed (valves, barb fittings, etc...) to do this with soft tubing but I have since abandoned this designs and finally have ended up going with PVC pipe. I bought 3/4" thin walled PVC pip...

Well this is my first summer with an aquarium and I am starting to get worried as I live in a dorm/apartment with no airconditioning. My room is already getting up to 82-83 and my tank is hitting 85-86 so I decided I should investigate chiller options. I saw a thermoelectric cooler designed specific...

I had the same problem, could not find any SAP's. There were SAP's on aquabid for a while but I don't think so anymore.

Are these filters you already have? If you are looking to buy new filters we could also make some suggestions

Yeah I just reread it and corrected it

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=956&N=0 has them for $14.99 But shipping something like $27-$30 so you wouldn't want to get one there. The reason I quote that price is that you are going to be hard pressed to find then cheaper than that. IMO that is a fair price. I pa...

Here is a recap of my success/failure from the past 3 weeks Wed May 02, 2007 Well I got all of the parts in and set everything up, major failure. The problem was that I did not realize that the three way valves that I ordered, although having 1/4" NPT holes (that's just over .5" because NP...

I tried experimenting with BW plants in my 24 gallon nanocube. You can see some pictures in my gallery or it. I ordered plants from http://www.aquariumplants.com/Brackish_Water_Plants_s/22.htm and they were really great. All the plants were extremely healthy, until I got a hold of them :D and put th...

For my situation I use my Nano cube's internal filtration system as the biofilter and my XP2 solely as a mechanical filter. I see what your saying, I might still do regular gravel vacuuming during water changes so that the poo and detritus goes directly out of the system but now (if I choose to) I c...

I envision a plumbing system on my filter pump that is as follows: I would have one three way valve on my outlet tubing of the filter, one position connects the filter to the tank and another connects it to a section of tubing that I have go out my window (or could go to a bucket or a drain if your ...

I already have one figure 8 and one black molly in my 24 gallon nanocube. I also have an external Rena XP2 which I guess holds close to an extra gallon (not that that makes much of a difference). I am wondering how many more fish could I put in. I was thinking maybe a few bumble gobies, one or two o...

I have had my two puffers for almost 2 months now. They seemed to be extremely healthy with veracious appetites and constant swimming around (but not listlessly). I have been trying to treat for IP (because I saw white poo) for about a month. I had done two weeks of soaking their food in Jungle Anti...

The only real "special" need I would say is his food. He probably won't eat anything but pond snails and worms. You might get lucky with tiny pieces from a shrimp or krill. Chances are you are going to have to get a snail population tank to grow your own pond snails. If you have the extra ...
