Aquarium Fish Gallon Tank

You should either boycott these stores, or inform the owners that you do not approve of them selling these fish. Accept no excuses. Store owners or personnel that try to reason with you on the subject, are either in denial, unknowledg

This prefilter design greatly reduces the chances of the siphon action breaking, either from collected air or when the filter pump stops.

Wet-Dry Filters: Wet-dry filters are typically rectangular acrylic or glass reservoirs that sit below the aquarium. Most are divided into two basic sections, the "wet-dry" chamber and the "sump."
