    Nitrate Reading?

    Make sure to read it with bright lighting and with the case half an inch from the chart. If you put the case against the chart it'll look like a higher reading. It looks to be no where near 20 to me.

    Acrylic Aquarium experience needed!!

    I just acquired a 55 gallon acrylic aquarium. I noticed that the front and back panels seems to be "bowing" from pressure, even without any water in there. Is this normal? Is it warping?

    New here-- Having a problem with mini heater

    Most "mini heaters" don't have a internal temperature regulator and are just set to be on 24/7. This means that if you have too strong of a heater it'll literally cook your fish. I recommend a high quality heater with adjustable temperature, like ones by Cobalt. I believe they're called Cobalt...
