Your opinion on best brand(s) of chemicals for tanks would be and why:

The only chemical I use is Prime. Nothing else.

Why you choose to you the chemicals you do, "why not everyone on shelve":

It works great and is highly concentrated so it is really cheap.

Why it's easier to work with less chemicals:

I have never found the need for anything other than dechlorinator. Everything else is a waste of money unless you have a planted tank.

Your opinion on best heater and why:

I use the visi-therm Stealth heaters. They are black so easily hidden and don't have an annoying red light.

Your opinion on best filtration system and why:

For HOB I love the Aquaclear. For canisters I use Cascade brand but any of the other big brands are just as good.

Best powerheads and why:

I only have them in the 150 and havne't the slightest clue what brand they are. Running strong 5 years later.

Your opinion on best substrate and why:

Depends on the type of tank. I use PFS in all of my tanks.

Why you choose sand:

IMO it is more natural looking. The waste doesn't sink to the bottom in the substrate. And the Africans love it.

Best fish and why:

I prefer African Mbuna and Peacocks the best but I still love my Angels, Rainbows, and Tetras.

Best communities and why:

Community fish? I love all of them in the tank but I think my fav is the Hi-fin Serpae Tetras.

Perks and Cons of that community choosen:

Beautiful red coloration, long flowing fins. Con: Can be nippy.

Best "Sickness Chemicals" to use, to treat what, and why you choose it:

Thankfully I haven't had to use chemical treatments for illness with the exception of Heximitosis.

Best Food products and why:

For processed foods, New Life Spectrum. I also feed peas and zuc.
