    Using car radiator as cooler

    quite true fan cooling only drop 1-2 c , always wonder how most claim it drop 4-10 c , there's another theory that number of fans doesnt matter as long as water evaporate from the tank

    Using car radiator as cooler

    i got to know of this primitive method of cooling some time back , which some call it zeer pot cooler , so far i didnt see anyone run some test on it on a aquarium set-up ,might be interesting thou.

    Using car radiator as cooler

    yes , already mention peltier cooling is for small volume tank ? not sure seen a few diy like this , for those who cant afford to buy a chiller ? besides fan evaporating cooling , nothing much in the market works as well as a aquarium chiller

    Using car radiator as cooler

    cheapest head-start way to cool your tank is to get a used mini fridge ,mod drill two holes, run a coil pipe thru it , in and out into the tank , for small volume tank peltier cooling is used

    Is there a perfect way to euthanise

    Unfortunately I did lost some difficult species, which is chaca chaca catfish, true jaguar catfish and frog fish, which refused to eat at start, bought freshly from fish stores, not all species will do well, there no right or wrong way, do what you guys deem best to euthanized.

    Is there a perfect way to euthanise

    subjective issue i guess , still i wont use a tool to kill a sick fish , since most planters has co2 at hand , why dont gas it ,or clove oil a common sedation for koi to calm them down during treatment , which overdosed to euthanise it , i pretty sure fish like human wants to go to afterlife in...

    still weighing the options , did some research on the pricing for a 80 watt panel hook up to charger then to a battery , quite a high initial investment , guess is the need to run the system for a couple of years to even it out .

    ada tanks do get algae , but not likely to spot in their showroom tank since they are so diligent , if you spot algae at the early stage , much easily to get rid then a full-blown neglected one

    most are willing to pay top dollars for a reef tank i guess , to be frank i find superb flow on a planted tank has less algae issues ,i always tried to use oversize filter on my set-up , once i even used eheim 2213 on a 30cm cube tank , seldom had algae problems

    yes , k1 media is not meant to be in a canister , but usually i leave it stagnant for a few months before using it as a moving media (take ages to seed bb when moving ), now that you mention it, seachem matrix does remind me of zeolite , has the same chalky look to it
