    if the plants are staying healthy, and you are happy with how they look, id not change them out. flourescent tubes do start degrading the second they are turned on, so its something to watch, as they do lose their brightness, and color.

    if you dont find a commercial offering, look into a local welding/fabrication shop. a fab shop probably wont be very cheap though.

    i agree with the above. murky hazy look is normal for a day or two on a new setup, but the brownish tan color is most likely from the wood. be more concerned with getting the bacteria colony established. over time with water changes, you will get rid of the tea color from the wood.

    there's a big thread on them somewhere in here. its a semi common issue.

    im fairly anti snail, but i keep a few nerites in my tanks. the only downside to them are the eggs they leave behind.

    its possible, but they will run her ragged. if you try it, make sure there are plenty of hiding places for her.

    my opinion, cut an hour of light, and lower the intensity. this will make them need to try and reach the light vs having tons of light.

    that looks fantastic!

    they are far from expert only.

    if i was to guess, its probably mostly crushed coral.

    rubber lip, and clown plecos are pretty safe.

    light intensity is going to depend a lot on the light you choose. but generally somewhere between 6 and 8 hrs is a good start. fertilizer, start with the recommended dosage. everything with plants is a wait and see, then make a small change, and wait some more, and repeat until you find the magic spot.

    it was something like 150psi, and it would just blow out wherever it felt like. this was some special green colored pvc that was made for air. our maintenance guy hated that stuff. we were never too happy with it when it failed either, as bad things happen on a press when you lose air while running.

    with the low pressure, and volume of air being used in an aquarium or modest amount of aquariums, i think its a non issue. sort of related, back when i was a printer we had shop air plumbed to the presses by large pvc pipes, when those failed, there was no shrapnel, but holy heck your ears would suffer if you were within a hundred feet of the break.

    if the plant is in the aquarium water, it will feed from the water column.
