Thanks for the info--that's helpful! :)

What are the specific advantages of the added water volume and footprint? I never thought of that. :thanks:

:thanks: Until a week or so ago, I didn't even think about trying to find a fish forum. I'm glad I did -- I think it'll help me to take better care of my little friends. :thumb:
