    24 hour drip systems for dummies

    I went to JL Aquatics and bought a two-stage filter to run tap water through for the constant drip. I had to install an Aqua-Lifter to the PVC overflow pipe. Siphon was breaking from time to time (before the Aqua-lifter). Had a couple of little spills already - : ). If I do not drill, I...

    Can tanks be drilled w/o being fully emptied? Know anyone who can do this?

    Thanks for the encouragement! I have Aqueon tanks - I do not think they are tempered. Will give it more thought - if it breaks while I am doing it, it would be a very big disaster - : ).

    Which Air Pump with Battery did you get that can last up to 12 hours? Where did you get them from? The Seachem Matrix, you referring to these ones right? - http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/filter-media/biological-filter-media.html

    "Angel" Motoro Stingray - 1 week not eating yet

    Hi everyone - I got "Angel" about a week ago now. She is very active but does not seem to be eating yet. How long before I should start really worrying? I am assuming that she is still settling in - as my RTGs go on hunger strikes once in awhile and they are perfectly fine. Any tips...

And Mike - yup the bigger one is from David's tank. Had my eye on him the first time I saw Dave' s tank. BTW - Those tanks are...
