I've been considering a chiller for a tank on the top edge of the temperature I want. I've been looking at literature on the Aqua Logic, Aqua Medic, and Arctica Titanium brands and they all start to sound alike. I'd be interested in experiences any of you have had with these and other brands you...

I was planning on adding a 5" DSB to my new AGA 180 gallon, but the overflows have three rows of slots to admit water. The bottom row is only 4" above the bottom of the tank, so a 5" DSB would submerge them. This isn't a major problem in itself, but does anyone know if it will reduce the capacity...

I have heard mixed reviews about bumble bee snails in the reef aquaria. Are they fine to have, or would it be something I should avoid? -- D.S.
