It would be fine if the RO was there to filter out bacteria. Which it's not. It's there to filter out metals and other contaminants. A copper atom for example is 0.000145 microns(About 1/4 of the smallest size an RO can filter in your example) but luckily you rarely get free single atoms, they're usually in multiple atom molecules. If you had a bit of copper oxide in the water it would be in the range of double that plus the bond length gets you somewhere around .0006 microns.

Five 10% water changes aren't as good at diluting the rubbish as a single 50% water change. IMO, just do a bigger change if you want. 25% is a small water change.

It also pays to make it interesting.

Archers are usually sold in freshwater and they appear to do ok in freshwater, though better in brackish. So, I see no problem with the screensaver including them. Fiddler crabs also are fine in freshwater for a few weeks. What's your main complaint? That fish that can live in freshwater for a while are in a simulated freshwater fish tank? Would you prefer they make you pay $15 to put the crab in then simulate it dying a few months later because it's not quite ideal? Oh, you also forgot to complain that the screensaver lets you put something like 50 tiger barbs in a 19" tank(On my screen, maybe larger or smaller depending on your screen size.)

Mine comes out west of Fuente El Sol, which appears to be a town North West of Madrid, Spain.

Just swapped mine over to my 4 foot tank, at the moment it's using about 325 watts. I'll check tomorrow at about the same time see what the total power usage is. I expect it will end up somewhere around 5 kw hours. If it stays at 325 watts constant that would be Ahhh...$43/month.

You're right. It's far too good of english to be real, no misused there, their or they're, lose or loose, bought or brought...There's not even a single UR! :lol:

Hehe, Thanks guys. Your training is coming along nicely, your next lesson: ridiculing everyone that bruys things... :lol:

Ever plugged the end of a straw and lifted it up? Same thing.

I once suggested a cubic neon rating for fish to be used for stocking levels. Say you can stock a tank at 1 liters per cubic neon. 100 L tank= capacity for 100 cubic neons. One neon=1 cubic neon. If you have a bigger fish, let's say a full grown severum. That severum would be 8 neons long, about 5 neons wide and about 15 neons tall. So that's 8X5X10. Therefore a full grown severum=400 cubic neons.

Hmmm...$20 to register it...Wait...Now that I think about it I've spent far more than that on fish related stuff that did me far less good than a fish screen saver would. Hehe.

Why would you want to remove the silicon from glass? I don't know if it can be done, and if it could would likely require a pretty advanced laboratory setup. Andd, being as glass is made primarily from silicon oxide(Silica) you'll end up with...Well, I guess some oxygen gas and a small pile of some other chemicals. Of course a small pile of misc chemicals does make a good 4 foot tank. I'd suggest in your case you'd be better off removing the silicone from the glass instead of the silicon.

Depends, is that going to be a 25" giant gourami and a 1.5" cory? Then no. If it's going to be maybe 5 pearl gouramis and a handful of cories then it should be fine. I mean...I had like 200+ "Inches of fish" in a 100L with a Eheim 2213 before.

I propose that posting chain emails be a bannable offense. :evil:

The warehouse one has a display for power factor. But...It always stays at 1.00 as far as I can see. So it may not be correcting for it. But...It's $15, you want laboratory grade accuracy go get yourself a second mortgage and buy the gear.

Yes, tells you the current voltage, amp draw and total KW/HR consumed. A few other things too, iirc.

You don't need any extension cord or cutting any insulation. You're just plain doing it wrong and need to smoke something a bit less mind altering if you are. Not the exact type the warehouse has but similar.

I think she's referring to the impeller shaft.

There's this thing called triage used when the number of patients is vastly greater than the available resources. Maybe a trainer can help it, maybe not. But in the time required that trainer could possibly have saved a dozen other dogs. It is not an efficient use of resources.

Go to the warehouse, they have a meter that you plug in to find out how much power is being used. It's like $15. Buy it, use it, do a little math. It's easy.

All these people are idiots. It's only worth $20. I'll give you $20+ shipping for him. :lol:

Which is an air compressor(Or vacuum pump), a hose and plastic bag.

I'd suggest a fabric shop. All kinds of different types of meshes, something like wedding veil would probably work well.

Eclectuses...Eclectii...Whatever...Are beautiful.

Vacuum bagging would probably be even better... But that's a bit more complicated than clamps and some weights.
