um, today i went to petco and came across a bottle of AmQuil at 50% more for the same old price. so i bought it. It is just a chemical you use for getting rid of cholorine and ammonia and such

I got a 26 gallon bowfront, a flurescent light, 4 pumps ( 2 30 gallons and 2 5 gallons) and a heater for 20 dollars at a garage sale and the original owner only had it for 1 month and then he wanted to replace it and get a bigger one. So its all mine now
