how to avoid "cash grabs" go to the store knowing what you NEED! ->not what you se and think you want.
How to keep you aquariumwarmer-> some people put some insultation between their tank and their stand and sometimes on the back and sides if they are not viewable.
THE NUMBER ONE THING YO NEED TO KNOW BEFORE SETTING UP YOUR AQUARIUM!->look up the nitrogen cycle.
where never to put your aquarium-> by a window-> the light will cause algea and the draft will make it cold.
drip loopsd.-> make a downward facing loop in the power cords of all your equipment so if some water gets on them gravety will prevent the water rom getting in the socket.
