I recently purchased an Eheim 2227 on eBay and installed it last weekend. To my relief, the wet/dry chamber does empty and refill. Unfortunately, however, the air from that chamber is then expelled through the outflow tubing through the spray bar. It makes the filter very noisy. I don't think...

I the biggest noise from my tanks are from my air pumps. I'd like to eliminate them both as sound and power drain. I have a 30 with a HOB that I am confident that I can remove the air from, but I have a 10 with an in-tank filter and a 120 with dual canister filters. I'm wondering how I can tell...

Am thinking of co-donating several bags of fish to Friar BB's soiree on basic principles (nice New World varieties). I will bag and box - all I need are the services of a co-donator to pick-up/transport. Am in NW DC and optimally require someone passing nearby (14th ST NW and "U" Street NW) to...

I'm ordering a custom set up from a local guy for a new reef set up. I've never owned an acrylic tank, thought maybe I'd try acrylic since the cost is a little less than a star fire glass tank. I know several members have acrylic tanks, opinions please?

Ok.. so I have been trying to plumb this 180 acrylic. So far, I have the (5) bulkheads, strainers, and in-tank piping for returns and supply lines. Now I need the adapter to go from the threaded bulkhead/pipe to the hoses for my canisters. Is there any place that I can buy reef plumbing...
