Building a new home and I will have a 6 foot long tank in it. Probably a 125G but might go with the a 150G. The tank will sit with one short end on the wall. Leaving both long sides and one short side open. I have imagined this for a long time but it's time to stop daydreaming and start doing...

Could someone recommend a good chlorine/chloramine remover to get, that works good, and is cheap in the long run? I'm thinking I'm gonna stick with a product that just removes the chlorine/chloramine/ammonia and nothing else (ie: no slime coat stuff, etc.). Which means I'm trying to choose...

Does anyone know if the Hagen Fish Net Breeding Trap is made of steel or plastic? The picture online makes it look like the frame is made of steel, however, it could just be gray plastic. Thanks, Harry P.S. Here's a link to the item in question: http://www.bigalsonline.com/product_ ...

I'm gonna be buying a tank stand (for 55G) made out of particle board covered in that fake wood looking veneer. There is also some MDF on this stand (ie: in the back, etc.). I would like to protect this stand the best I can, since I know that these materials aren't exactly water...

I'm wondering if anyone has ever heard of an aquarium brand called Miracle. I'm located in Toronto, ON, Canada and I've come across a few stores that carry this brand of aquariums, but none have been able to tell me anything more about the company (ie: located, website, phone number). ...

Long plastic hose, was once clear.. Now the inside is covered with black (I assume) algae crud .. I've tried running things through to wipe it off, it doesn't work. Running sand back and forth takes out some, but it's tedious and doesn't get it all. Bob

I Goooooogled my brains out and hard a hard time finding any info from the 21st Century. I know the idea is still the same, but most of the articles I found were text with little or NO pictures. I am capable of reading, and understanding the mechanics of the process, but some pictures would...

I was wondering if anyone knows any information about the type of ballast that All-Glass puts in their deluxe hoods. I'm especially interested in the 48*12 hoods (made for 55G) since I'm thinking of buying one of these and adding more light to it. However, depending on the type of ballast...

I just set up a 36 gal. freshwater tank with a Fluval 203. I'd like to augment with a Biowheel. Any reason I need anything bigger than the Penguin 125 for this purpose? Thanks, Bruce
