NorthStar said:I looked at my filter and was a bit confused, It's a marineland H.O.T Magnum professional filter, I read their site and Am still confused, anyone heard of them or have experience with them, there's no problem with it but I am wondering if it's a good filter??
I really like mine.
Re your tank: you ought to put a background on it, it will look a lot better. If you buy those vinyl types from the fish store, you can use cooking oil (NOT baby oil) to stick it to the outside glass, using a credit card to smooth bubbles out to the edge. If you are worried about temperature changes, or want to minimize heating costs, you can add insulated backing, like the 1/2" thick boards sold at hardware stores, 8'x4', cut to fit and tape in place.
