    Filter Idea

    I know the korallia is a difficult one to do it with. I was thinking of trying to get it like the Juwel filters (apart from their miserable turnover) the fact is, theoretically this should be more efficient (consider the advantages of a screw propeller over paddle-wheel) problem comes in...

    basically, using a Korallia, on the basis of its turnover. however unlike a conventional pump its not easy to design a built in filter. what I was thinking is that utilising top and bottom intakes. any thoughts??

    Image Posting

    to see if it is that size rightclick on the image, and choose properties, that will tell you the dimensions. I use GIMP rather than photoshop, but use that to resize images, although you can get photobucket to resize them as well

    sodium bisulfate

    I'm interested in this, looks like an effective way to lower pH (given the natural pH of it is 1.4) its much easier working out how to make the water harder, I dont know how you can calculate the effect on pH by a substance. and it wasn't something I calculated when I worked out my rift lakes...

    Help identifying false Bolivian butterfly ram

    it is some form of geophagus, though the split lateral spot makes ID's confusing. the blurry photo doesnt help matters, it does bear resemblance towards G. taeniopareius, I wouldn't be 100% on that ID however. as that lateral spot does seem odd

    Apistogramma sp. Twin/Zwilling (A181)

    Andrew, your using a D50, cant you shoot in RAW?? if you did it'd be an easy fix for adjusting the exposure (and you'll lose no data, as you dont damage it as you would with changes to a JPG)
