PurpleSmurf, thanks for the tip. I was reading about that the other day and making a mental note to wrap the filter intake with a piece of sponge.
Veneer, thank you for the info on shrimp types. I never see any around here besides the Ghost shrimp. It will probably have to be mail order then.
Yeah, Johnny, alterations will be required.
Back to the heater.... I don't believe I've seen one small enough. Any brand/type recommendations?
