Fish Pond
How do you get rid of algae green water in a fish pond?
I don't want to spend nifty bucks to get rid of it. It makes the water green, but there's no other kind of algae in my pond. The pond is small so I can't get any more fish.

Coral Reef
How do I determine the biodiversity of a coral reef?
I want to do a survey of the biodiversity of a coral reef (coral species only). I am thinking of using 1m^2 quadrants and simply identifying and counting species. Any tips? How do I analyze this data?

Fish Tank Heater
What could I use to warm my fish tank instead of a heater for fish?

External Aquarium
My 400gal saltwater aquarium needs two external sump pumps. What are the best pumps for a reasonable price?
The sump has two outlets for connecting pumps and I am only running one dolphin pump currently. I want to buy two new proper pumps that can push the water up about six feet of piping into the tank with a minimum combined flow rate of 1100gph.
I run Pentair Rainbow Lifegard Quiet One pumps (two) on my 185 and am happy with them. I'm assuming that there is six feet of head per pump. Based on this to get [...] Continue Reading...
