I wanted to start this article by stating that I should have done this, years ago...years! I for 10 years have spent my weekends and evenings visiting all the pet stores in my area, and even some not so close. I travel some and vacation often as well. I do photography and it allows me to visit other cities. When I have the time I seek out local Aquariums and Fish stores. When I vacation it's to the Oceans of the world. I can usually be found face down snorkeling (I have never dove, although I intend to one day). Those are separate stories, and enough about me. - [Details]

This is pretty close to my current sump configuration. My previous sumps were just way to small to handle a volume of about 2,500 gallons per hour. - [Details]

I have been trying to figure out how to make a background that I would like for quite some time. I finally came up with this. I used fluorescent light egg crating, aquarium safe silicone, and a bag of garden river rock from Home Depot. I had to cut the egg crate into 3 pieces to make it fit into the tank because of the glass support across the top middle of the tank. Probably just as well because the egg crating breaks fairly easily and with the weight of one solid piece I am sure I would have broken it before I got it in the tank. - [Details]

Most beginning aquarists are content with using the everyday Perfecto hood or no hood at all. However, as interest grows and you want to keep live plants or invertebrates, the need for a high quality hood and lighting system is greatly accented. - [Details]
