I had a feeling I would probably be needing a stronger filter. Alright, I will look into the canister filters, see what I can scrap together from my finances. What is the GPH for the canister on your 80 gal tank?? Yea the ViaAqua canister look good, the highest GPH I could find was 211, but...

I just had a quick question about moon lights/lighting: Is there any pro/con on having a moonlight, besides being able to see your fish at nite/nocturnal fish. Moonlights can never be back for freshwater fish can they? Does it help/damage the plants at all? Thanks for the help, WelsH

Thanks That site is great. Thanks for the help TankGirl. WelsH
