I recently finally got around to setting up my 90 gal aquarium. I had always thought about doing GTs but had never run across any in my LFS. I also fell in love with rainbowfish and intended on stocking a large school of them with other community fish. Prior to my impulse purchase, my 90 gal...

Does anyone have any experience with these heaters? They connect in-line with the output of a canister filter. Just curious if they might be worth investing in..i think they go for around $90 here in Canada for a 300Watt one.

Does anyone else here feel like tanks with too many different species can make the viewing experience less desireable because things become too busy or chaotic in some way? Sometimes I feel like people try too hard to squeeze all the fish they like into one tank and do not take into account the...
