Not a problem. Out of respect for the company that hosts this forum we just ask posters not to do it.

Im not buying anything right now. I dont even have the 20 gallon tank yet. Is the SALTWATER AQUARIUM BOOK on this site?
They have a good book 2007 edition, with all the info and step by step insturctions and very thorough.
"SALTWATER AQUARIUM FOR DUMMIES"

It sounds funny lol. Do you have that book?

 

[jtrzerocool]

No links to Amazon... you can buy great books (and usually more accurate books) here.

I really dont want to buy any books so can everyone tell me what they THINK will be beast for a 20 gallon tank and strong enuf for all corals exept clams, anemones, and stonys.

 

[jtrzerocool]

when you buy a book it is not just going to be on light! you should buy a book and research EVERYTHING. kinda like the anemone issue we had! you need to do lots of research!

You guys should communicate via PRIVATE MESSAGE, better that way. no?

 

[coral keeper]

I called Fish Planet, and Exotic Aquarium. Iv never herd of capitol aquarium, can you tell me of the stores you go to?

 

[coral keeper]

Can someone tell me a good heater for a 20 gallon tank and some good pumps for moving the water around and some good pumps to connect the sump and the main tank so that the water can flow to the sump and then to the main tank.
