I looked at the powersweeps, but based on what this formum has said about them, I went with JBJ powerheads. My LFS recommended them, and so far they are excellent. Thanks to everyone for the advice on what NOT to go with!! :D

I'm new to the hobby, but I've already seen both sides of the coin. I agree with AustinReef - Austin seems to have some fairly decent *****'s. It seems to all depend on which employee is there. I bought my 46bowfront from them, and dealt with a very knowledgeable employee. I've seen him try his...

Thanks yet again for all your replies! You reassured me, and I bought the 46g bowfront yesterday. 30% off!!! I just love bargains :D It's just sitting there, bare as can be - but not for long! I'm sure I'll be asking all kinds of questions as I buy all the equipment and livestock. It's so nice...

madd catt: I read somewhere that some corner tanks are so deep it's hard to keep from having "dead spots" (no circulation). Ever heard that? Most of my LFS's have a hard time selling their corners, but that could just be this area. I agree, though, they're awesome! Wish I had a corner to put...

One of my LFS's had at least 50 Maroon clowns in one 10 gallon. Those poor guys were ripping each other to shreds. Same thing with the True Percula tank, but they weren't in such poor shape. I can't imagine that people will buy those maroons that are all torn up! What happens to fish the LFS...

Thanks everyone for your great advice and comments. I found a deal on my 46 BF at *****. It has 2 itty-bitty scratches and they'll give me 20% off !! Works for me. Thanks again!!!:D

Thanks for the reassurance about the bowfronts! Can I pick your brains again, please? I just read a post that said looking through a filled BF was like looking through a magnifying glass (distorted). Ever experienced that? I'm wondering if that could be caused by inferior glass quality? Thanx!

Hello all! I'm in the process (or thought I was) of setting up my very first SW system. Read the books, searched the 'net, asked the LFS. Decided on a 46g bowfront. Just love the look of them. Then, yesterday, a guy at the LFS tells me "watch out, I've heard the bowfronts leak." Not what I...
