    Pest ID (w/ pics)

    I was about to clean the glass on my new nano (about 3 weeks old) when I noticed something on the front pane. I'm pretty sure that this is some type of flatworm, but I'd like to get a consensus before deciding whether to try to treat the tank. It's only a 14 gallon, so it would be easy to do...

    Vortech prop pump FiNALLY came in.... broken.

    I signed up way back in February thru an online vendor's pre-order offer and found a nice little package on my doorstep after work today. The manual isn't kidding where it says NEVER (yes, they wrote it in caps) to let the two halves attach together w/o anything between them. Unfortunately...

    Question for the MH gurus

    Anybody have experience with a Red Sea Berlin skimmer?

    I am currently attempting to buy a Berlin HO used from somebody but would like to know if anybody is dissatisfied with theirs or if they can suggest a competitively priced alternative. Mainly, I am concerned about it being able to produce good foam even after a week of constant skimming when it...

    A general question about Chillers

    I've been looking to upgrade my chiller for some time now and have visited quite a few manufacturers' websites to see product descriptions. In comparing different chillers, I notice that there's a huge discrepancy in some of the ranges of cooling for products of the same HP. For instance, a...
