Ok so I have been doing a lot of reading as far as making your own aquarium background. I have decided not to use cement because of the curing process ( I don't want to waste so much water with rinsing and such ) I have decided to use marine grade epoxy resin or epoxy paste which is inert once...

Thank you for you answer, I have been doing a lot of research on the canister filters and there are so many on the market that I'm really confused about which to get, so I thought to stick with what I know. How is the RENA XP4 as far as maintenance, durability and is it quiet?

Oh and would you recommend the AquaClear Powerheads? Is something like that needed at all in a freshwater tank? I'm planning on Angel fish and what ever is compatible with them. Thanks for any suggestion in advance.

Hi Tyler, where can I find more info on the flake method cycling. I am planning on getting a 125 gallon tank. Your tank is very pretty.

Thanks for the extra info :D I can buy extra sponge blocks for this filter?

I looked at the aquaclear 110's on amazon and they received 5 stars 22 times out of 24. 1 review gave 1 star and the other a 2 because they arrived broken. I might go with those, they're supposedly very quiet.

What are sponge blocks?

So will I even need a canister filter later on?

I'm planning on buying a 125 gallon tank. I want some live plants and some community fish with 4-6 Angelfish eventually when conditions permit. I am familiar with the Emperor 400 line as I had them on a 75 gallon tank. Noise level does not bother me as the house is always noisy anyways...

Hello Tim from Tinley Park!

Thanks for the offer. For now I'll be doing a lot of research about which filter and supplies to buy. I'm probably going to buy the tank in the next month or so.

I want freshwater again. I'd like to get in the swing of things. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to try saltwater.

Hi my name is Kasia. I am planning on getting a 125 gallon setup. I have 5 year experience with a 75 gallon freshwater tank which I loved but had to give up because of living arrangements. A lot has changed since then and it's wonderful that sites/forums such as this exist! I'm very excited to...
