Hi again, and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you across the border :) So after further reading, I think I need to get some powerheads before I can start but I'm not sure how strong of a current I need.

Ok, so I got my early Christmas present from my husband (thanks to some very obvious hinting). After a lot of hunting around on CL, this is what I got: - 70 Gallon Aquarium (48"x18"x20") - Oak Stand - undergravel filter - Aqua Clear 110 power filter. - 2 Optima air pumps - modular LED...

I've googled around...

Hello everyone. I had set up a tank again for goldfish but became intrigued with puffers while browsing around the local store. After reading up on them, I finally gave in and got a pair of GSPs. They were alone in their tank & cuddled close together so I had to take them both:). So I've had the...
