One more thing just curious about the liquid filled pressure gauges that come on some of the filters. Are they worth it or not?

Ok lets just say that it comes with a 5 micron sediment filter and a carbon filter. If i wanted to put the 1 mircron sediment filter in an a .5 micron carbon filter that would work? And also do the filters turn a different color or anything when they need to be replaced. Or do you have to buy...

I am planning on purchasing a RO filter soon and I need some advice on which one I should get? I am looking at the Kent 3stage Hi-s 35gpd model, and the Seachem/Pinnacle 3stage 35gpd model also. And possibly the Captive Purity 3stage pro. I need one that does a good job with silica. I was...

I am intrested in a ro unit but the manufacter recommends a optimal psi of 65 i was wondering how this would be acheived. If possible with out spending to much money, because the the filter themselves are not cheap. Or does the pressure make that much of a difference? Oh yeah i am looking at...

I am looking for a way to find all the aquarium shops in my state which happens to be north carolina. If any can help that would be great. Thanks Ben

I had bought a maroon clown and i guess i had not checked it close enough, because a couple day after bring it home it started to develop the clownfish disease( brooklynella hostilis). No i have not purchased any filtration unit yet. I just need something that works well and is not to...

I have two questions. My first one is about cleaning out a tank. I read that bleach was good cleaner. I was wondering if just rinseing the tank out with plan water afterwards got all the chemicals from the bleach out? And my second question is what kind of a job would a tap water filter do...
