It would only need to be a little. At the water level of the outlets it would be exactly the same as atmospheric pressure. (If it was more the water would gush out, if it was less air would force in) It'd be nowhere near enough to make them swell up and pop or anything like that.

I personally find the lower kelvin bulbs, around 5200 or whatever it is more pleasant than the harsher fatigue inducing 6400k ones :lol:
-
A lower kelvin, good quality one should be in the similar range. The higher the kelvin the dimmer they are and the lower quality ones both aren't as bright to begin withand fade quicker.
-
About 150 would be a good goal place to start. Go to bunnings or Mitre 10 mega and they should have some high wattage ones, somewhere around the 100 watt mark. Oh and looking at your fish list. No, you won't have plants.
-
Your CF1200 is likely pumping far less than your 1000lph power head, and if you've got a spray bar on it, it's probably got a wider, slower flow too.
-
It'll be dim, but that doesn't matter because you don't have any plants.
-
That looks about right. There are probably dozens or hundreds of species of them. I doubt we get the bigger ones often in tanks. Look up vermetid snails, common in marine tanks, but in the wild there are species whose tubes get up to an inch or more in diameter, in tanks they're rarely more than maybe 5mm.
-
I've got heaps of those. I think they're called spaghetti worms? Well, I'm sure they have heaps of different names. They're harmless as far as I know.
-
So pick up square or flat rocks. There are lots of them around.
-
Go to river, pick up rocks, put rocks in tank, Done.

Nothing is too small to glue. I have a couple 404 impellers that have the bottom bit come off, they work fine, but obviously a different construction from what you're saying.
-
It should work fine without it being attached well, but it will need to be in there for spacing. Or just superglue it on.
-
I'd be happy to take one of them for you and see if it gets better in my tank.
-
Why kill them? I haven't seen any reason to assume that they're harmful. Some people like to have a little bit of biodiversity in their tanks instead of immediately going OMGOMGOMG! Something different! KILLITKILLITKILLIT!!!
-
Someone could probably make a nice bit of money getting an old boiler that you could put big pieces of driftwood in, hook up a vacuum pump to suck out all the air then fill it with water. Should be instant sinking driftwood. Sink your driftwood! $20! per piece!

Burning up their reserves.
-
Yeah, it's one of those words that people love to use that don't like sterile tanks with nothing interesting but a few colorful rocks.
-
You have mosquito fish in your pond?
-
Wow, you've trained your fish to get out of the tank and go to the bathroom elsewhere? Cool, how'd you do that?
-
There's a lot more crap in the water than nitrate.
-
It's not UV that you're particularly wanting when you're leaving it in the sun. It's getting it dry. Drying is far more deadly to most diseases than the stray bit of UV they'll get from leaving in the sun. Of course, sun burning the little Swearing removed.. Mod a bit doesn't hurt either.
-
Probably what you'd need to do if you don't want to remove the base(Which would be the proper way) is carefully drill the end of the crack, probably about half the depth of the glass should do. That would keep the crack from spreading. Then put a patch over it.
-
Weight isn't particularly significant for just running a fish tank. I'd say cost is the big factor. So, just go with the steel because it's cheaper.

Green food in, green poo out.

Deal, what's your bank account number? Actually, I think I have it already. Hehe.
