Thanks guys. Sorry for the slow response, but I work odd hours and am on at odd times. So, what kind of canister filter should I look for to accept an in-line heater? Are there other filter options I have not looked at? I don't think I can drill the bottom of the tank (glass) and so I think an...

I am getting ready to move somewhere where I plan on staying and am wanting to finally set up my 55 for fw. I am planning on havine a limited number of cichlids and am planning on doing the lava rock background from duboisi.com w/o the caves (just rock on plexi-glass). I am trying to figure out...

I would like to set up a spare 10 gallon tank I have in my bedroom as fowlr. What will I need to pull this off? If anyone here has done this and can give me specific items that would be great! I know a light upgrade will be needed, but I don't know what kind of filter/heater/skimmer I will need...

Thanks! Is it saltwater safe as well? This may become a nano reef some day too.

i was setting here doing some more surfing and i thought of something. why could i not put a submersable pump in the tank itself, pump out of the tank, through a filter of some sort and then back in the tank on the top? it would create current as well as going the extra mile that the stock...

thanks for the replies. i plan on having an assortment of african cichlids (the tank at the pet store says 'assorted') in the tank. i have spent alot of time at duboisi.com and that is where i got the idea about the fluidized filter. now... since this aquarium can't be drilled, i don't have to...
