The Gays Abroad – THE BEST GUIDE TO CAMPING IN NEW ZEALAND

Why you should and should not use a canister filter for 100 gallon tank?

Canister filters is one of the most popular filters used by aquarium hobbyists for large aquarium. I have tried almost every filter for my 100 gallon fish tank and my canister filters have always been good to me but there are also some drawback from this type of filter that make me began to weigh the other options. I noticed a lot of people using canister filters, and if you are looking for the best 100 gallon aquarium filter, you can consider to get one. This post are pros and cons of canister filter, once you understand the benefits and drawback of using it, the choice is much easier.

#1 Pros

Canister filter require less effort of maintenance than most other types of filter as you can easy access it. This is also useful if there is ever an issue. I keep mine in its own compartment under my tank. Due to this, canister filter also allows you to clean and change the type of filter media depend on your need. Most canister filter provide enough space for the growth of beneficial bacteria inside the tank. These bacterial play an important role to keep the aquarium squeaky clean. Canister filters are much more reliable and provide high performance as cleans the tank more efficiently than most other type of filters. Canister filter can totally accommodate aquariums 100 gallons and even more. The most acttractive point of canister for me is that it allow you to choose the media filter that you want. You can mix and match, ensuring your fish and other aquatic creatures have the proper filtration that they need. Most canister filters are quiet operation, especially if you tuck them away in a cabinet. You could even insulate the cabinet on the inside to make it even quieter.

#2 Cons

Canister filters are usually not have the delicate design. With the large body, if you don’t have the right set up, it will stand out in your tank. It is better to buid a carbinet under your tank to hide it off to the side. It is quite easy to get the canister unit that is too powerful than your tank need. Your fish may get shock or stress in the tank with too powerful filter. Remember to check the size of canister before decide to buy or get the device with adjustable flow rate button. I would like to recommed canister filter to anyone who have around 100 gallons tank size. But if your tank is under 50 gallons, it is better to go with HOB filter instead.

The Basic Principle Of Using UVB Reptile Light

It is cannot deny that there are lots of benefits from the best uvb bulb. However, there are some things that you should consider when using UVB reptile light in your enclosure. Because the improper supplying and oversupplying UV rays can cause harm for your pets. This may not happen immediately but over time. There are some disadvantages of UVB light bulbs for humans such as burning skin, tissue damage for skin and eyes, reptiles also can get this problem if they bask in highly-concentrated UVB rays. Therefore, you should keep in mind some rules when providing UVB rays for your reptiles.

Considerations you should know about UVB reptile light

Not all the UVB bulbs available out there are the same. Some compact and coil UVB bulbs may harm your pet. Choosing UVB bulbs from a trustworthy brand. Price often indicates quality. Do not save your money by choosing cheap and unsafe UVB bulbs. Almost all the UVB bulbs should be replaced after 6-12 months of use. It is important to research your reptiles UVB requirement. Different species of reptiles will require different levels of UVB. For example, nocturnal animals like leopard geckos or crested geckos are zone 1. Bearded dragons and other diurnal lizards are zone 4.

The amount of UVB also depends on the natural environment of reptiles. For the tropical species such as chameleons, they will need the bulb that emits from 13 to 30W per square. Desert reptiles will need the bulb that emits from 13 to 150W per spare. That means you should not use less than 13 microwatts of UVB bulb since it is likely incapable of providing enough amount of UVB for your reptiles. What bulbs is emit above 150 microwatts is considered a danger for reptiles in the enclosure. Most glass and plastic tank walls will block UVB rays. Do not place the UVB bulbs outside the tank, you also should use the screen lid for your reptile’s tank. There are no bulbs that should be placed closer to 6 inches with the reptiles. 12 inches is the standard minimum distance for the tube bulbs. Ensure that you provide the gradient temperature inside the tank, which allow your pets to regulate their body temperature depending on their need. You will do not need UVB bulbs if you take your reptiles outside and allow them to expose under the natural sunlight for about 20 minutes per day.

What is the best automatic incubator?

You are planning to have a poultry farm, but you do not have a hen to hatching. Before starting your dream of rear a chicken family, you should provide them some essential requests. One of those things is the best automatic incubator. Chicken eggs need a lot of care. Choosing the right automatic incubator will affect a successful egg hatch rate.

What is an incubator?

Hatching is a process that needs factors such as humidity, time, turning eggs, temperature. The best incubator will come handy in hatching eggs while responding to those factors. For example, hatching eggs will need ideal humidity of about 50% most of the time. Besides, people also use the incubator to define the heath of chicken eggs or duck and bird eggs as well. We recommend you to buy an incubator that comes with automatic egg turner, that will allow you to control temperature and prevents the sticking of the embryo to the inner shell of the egg.

Manual or Automatic

If you are wonder between manual and automatic incubators, the automatic one is always the best incubator. You need to turn the egg twice a day. The automatic incubator will do it for you at the right time, automatically adjust temperatures, all you need to do is add more water every few days. Not just saving your time, an automatic incubator also ensures the accuracy and efficiency when hatching eggs.

Size

There are different sizes of the incubator that go along with the capacities of them. The bigger an incubator is, the more eggs it is can maintain. The capacities of one device can range from three eggs to hundreds of eggs. If you have a large poultry farm with multiple chickens, you should buy a bigger incubator. The bigger one also comes with complicated features such as passive heat and automatic regulate temperature and humidity.
