What are some good fish stores in Destin, Florida or nearby? I'm there on vacation for the week and I'd like to look at what's around. Saltwater or freshwater stores. Thanks!

Thanks for the input Howard. What do you keep under it?

What do you guys think about the Current USA Sundial T5 HO fixture? I've heard that Current USA isn't always the greatest brand. It looks like a nice fixture to me, but I don't know too much about this. I'm trying to choose a light (or type of light) for the 20 gallon H tank I'm going to be...

Ok, so I'll try to do without a glass top and add a refractometer to the list. Where can I get one for $40, and what's a good model? I have a cat, so I may have to get a top if she seems too interested in the tank. She seems to ignore them generally, unless she's thirsty. I have decided to go...

Does the T5 come with bulbs? If so, how old?

Ya, I've been checking the classifieds on this site daily, and craigslist also. I've come pretty close to a couple setups, but so far I've got nothing. How about the AquaC Remora skimmer? Any comments? Overkill on a tank this size, or is there something better than the remora? I really like the...

How long have you had them? I've never owned a fluval - about how much does it cost to replace the media on both? I'm very interested in buying them.

Hey - I'm new here, so I hope this is an appropriate place to post this thread. I've been keeping freshwater aquariums for quite some time, and I've planned to start a saltwater for about a year now. Last year I took a marine bio course (still in high school), and I've been doing research on...

I'd love to buy the jbj. Not sure how to pm on this forum tho...?
