Fresh water aquarium: community fish tank 240 liters

This is my 4 feet aqaurium. It has many types of small tropical freshwater fish in it. Im using the arqua-do psb bacteria, and the nutrafin aqua plus tap water conditioner to prevent ‘new tank syndrom’. The water is filtered by sunsun cannister filter 1400 l/h.

Fresh Water Aquarium: Community Fish Tank

WEBSITE: catspitproductionsllc.com 20 Gallon Fresh Water Aquarium Community Fish Tank This is the Catspit Productions fresh water community aquarium or fish tank. This tank is a 20 gallon, high with 2 Aquaclear outboard or hanging filters. One filter is a #70 or 300 gallons per hour filtration and it is set up like a normal filter with carbon, ammo carb, and filter medium. The second filter is a #50 or a 150 gallon per hour filtration. This smaller unit is set up with activated charcoal only. This is like a booster for clarity and toxins. This tank is about 1 and 1/2 years old and has been moved once. All of the plants are live but rather new. With a plecostomus and catfish, the tank is literally self cleaning. The filters are cleaned and changed once every month and that is all. Very easy maintenance. The light is a standard fluorescent tube that is left on for daylight simulation and turned off for night mode. The light is set on a timer. Many of the fish are over a year old and have been with the tank since the beginning. They are very fat and well fed!

Caribbean Life – Snorkeling the Reefs (cc)

I love snorkeling, and the sea life in all it’s shapes and colors is amazing. It’s also more threatened then previously reported…. Pollution and global warming are pushing the world’s oceans to the brink of a mass extinction of marine life unseen for tens of millions of years, a consortium of scientists warn. Dying coral reefs, biodiversity ravaged by invasive species, expanding open-water “dead zones,” toxic algae blooms, the massive depletion of big fish stocks — all are accellerating, they said on Monday in a report compiled during an April meeting in Oxford of 27 of the world’s top ocean experts. Sponsored by the International Program on the State of the Ocean (IPSO), the review of recent science found that ocean health has declined further and faster than dire forecasts only a few years ago. These symptoms, moreover, could be the harbinger of wider disruptions in the interlocking web of biological and chemical interactions that scientists now call the Earth system. All five mass extinctions of life on the planet, reaching back more than 500 million years, were preceded by many of the same conditions now afflicted the ocean environment, they said. “The results are shocking,” said Alex Rogers, an Oxford professor who heads IPSO and co-authored the report. “We are looking at consequences for humankind that will impact in our lifetime.” That event, called the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, or PETM, may be an ancient dress rehearsal for future climate change that

Tropical Cyclone Yasi – Catagory 5 – News Update Feb 2nd

Latest weather and Tropical Cyclone tracking information and its possible effects on the Australian region late Jan early Feb Australian weather information website www.bom.gov.au weather underground link www.wunderground.com weatherzone link www.weatherzone.com.au joint typhoon warning center www.usno.navy.mil cimss website cimss.ssec.wisc.edu I believe one of the reasons American education is being dumbed-down (by the teachers’ unions and college professors) is so that the socialist (left wing) agenda can be slipped in under-the-door. Their current demon is “global warming” said to be caused by CARBON DIOXIDE. An evil-sounding chemical, huh? I learned in, like, the 6th grade (1957), that carbon dioxide is PLANT FOOD. It’s what plants “inhale” so they can “exhale” OXYGEN . . . which is what we INHALE to stay alive. An increase in CO2 will result in an increase in plant growth. (They’ve got more to “eat.”) This will result in more oxygen for us, our pets and other animals. The world tends to self-balance. But Americans today, apparently, aren’t being taught that CO2 is “plant food.” Only that it’s an evil chemical AND that you’d better give up your car and stop using electricity because CO2 is going to destroy the world. And if you want to pretend there’s a dark side to the leftist/socialist agenda, YOU exhale carbon dioxide . . . so, WHY should YOU be allowed to live? Hmmm? (Keep in mind that every time socialists/communists have gained power in a country, it’s resulted
