Hi Ladies/Gents,
To start off, I just got out of the Marine Corps and have always been fascinated with aquariums. I am in the baby stages of planning my aquarium. I have order several books from amazon and am eagerly waiting on them to arrive.
I have done lots of lurking on here and lots of other reading, but I do have 4 questions I hope you guys can help me out with.
1. How does a corner overflow in a tank work? If you have one does it serve as your filter as well? Ive also seen some HOB overflows.
2. How does a canister filter work?
3. I know there are HOB filters as well, what do you guys recommend?
4. When I was younger I kept a small community tank and had what I can re-call being called Lipstick Mollies, but my internet research has shown nothing, is there another name for them? Or am I just thinking of something else?
Thanks so much for the help in advance, I can't wait for my books to get here so I can get more into the process and update you guys!
