Can you use irem in aquariums after glazed and baked?

No you can't. If it soaks in water it will become soft and begin to turn back into a glaze.

Depends on size of tank and amount of fish. But common rule is rinse them with non chlorine water once every two weeks and change 15 percent of the water. Yes some are reusable, but leave one old one everytime

Yes, of course with caution and adequate ventilation. The best way to use indoors is shortly vacate the area until aerosol is settled on surfaces. Then, being careful not to allow foods and other consumables which could come into contact to go unwashed before reuse.

Any water you plan to add to the aquarium need to sit out for 24 hours. After than, simply take a glass or metal cup and scoup out the dirty water and when you're done add the clean water. To clean it, let water sit out for 24 hours, then scoup out all the fish and put into that water. Dump the dirty water, being very careful not to drop any rocks from the bottom of your tank out. Get a scrubber specifically for tanks from your local pet supply store and scrub the sides. After you've scrubbed everything, rinse with clean water. Slowly add all of the water you let sit out for 24 hours into the tank. Then add the water with the fish in it and you're done.Or, get an algae eater.

No, it is not recommended to do that at all. This will cause the filter to not function properly. You have 3 levels in the middle for your choice of media. Fluval has recommendations for the proper setup which can be fine tuned by the end user since every tank is different.

you can but i would use the model RP90 with built in uv sterilizer for freshwater it will help a Great Deal with parasites such as ICK.

Household silicone RTV adhesive is just fine in water (it's used for the corner joints in home aquariums), but I wouldn't trust it for repeated exposure to near-boiling water.....It just isn't strong enough at those temps.

Mine is unglazed. I would think that the glazed would be a bit easier to clean. However, the unglazed is not hard to clean if you let it soak a bit first.

The water in the oil container would evaporate before the end of the night..so I would say no. The oil would then "cook" and stick to the inside of the oil receptacle.

It depends on the size of the hole, smaller than a 1/4" could be a problem. When you have finished draining the excess red koat out of the tank, stand it on end so the holes drain out. Give it at least 48 hours to cure. Roll the tank around a couple of times during the cure to distribute any pooled material, stand the tank on end between rolls. The longer you let it cure the better.

I think maybe super glue might work better for that. This is more like a sealant for the edges of your fish tank, not so much a glue. I used it to seal tile seams (which didn't work great), but it peels off easily with a little rubbing (sort of like rubber cement).

Yes. Just make sure the windows are clean and allow the proper cure time of 20min. It helps protect the glass and beads water nicely.

The little bit you are using per aquarium of water, it has no smell. I don't believe it would harm your birds. You mix it in with the aquarium water.

i read that seachem purigen can also be ruined if you use dechlorinators that have slime coat agents in them, like aloe and other slimy stuff. like API Stress coat - you cant put that in your tank if you are using purigen or other polymer resin type stuff and it also ruins certain other medias like DeNitrate by coating or clogging it up.

I just noticed that my answer to your question was somehow deleted, sorry! Here is a repost of my answer in full... The AquaRain ceramics will eventually need to be replaced. The unique aspect of our patented ceramic system is that the end of life can be MEASURED! So there is no guessing, just clean the ceramic with the green abrasive pad, and when the measuring gauge we send with the unit can fit around the ceramic, it is time to throw it away. No guessing. The ceramics can be cleaned over 50 times, or more. In an unheard of procedure, we sent 10 test articles for EPA purifier testing that were abraded 10% below our measured end of life, the ran contaminated water through them BEFORE testing to prove our ceramics were fully safe to use until the end of their useful life. I have never heard of another manufacturer doing such a thing. As to our carbon, we use the very highest grade of silver infused nut-shell granulated activated carbon inside our ceramic cartridges and with 11 minutes of mean contact time, you will get full benefit from the carbon's life. Eventually this carbon will be exhausted from absorbing things in your water, but as everyone's particular issues differ, this is exceedingly difficult to measure or predict. Some customers elect to replace their ceramic elements every three years or so, and this is a reasonable timeframe to rely on the carbon capacity of the cartridge. You can gain extra life from your carbon by letting the water you intend to fill the AquaRain with stand out in an open vessel (like a pitcher). This will allow many VOC contaminants to "gas off" reducing the load on the carbon and extending its useful life. I hope this has answered your question...more complete information can be found on our website... Thanks for your interest in AquaRain!

Yes definitely use a waste treatment chemical of some sort. Aqua Chem or other comparable product.

Yes probably. I have a 75 gallon freshwater planted tank and I have an Eheim filter. In the two of the three baskets of filter media I have this. This is a fabulous product as it keeps the good bacteria in the aquarium on the media. I just rinse it out every time I clean the tank with lukewarm water and reuse it until it gets the color of a dark caramel. Hope this helps and good luck.
