Howdy all! I am Albert from staten island, ny. Ive been wanting to start my aquarium again after 20+ years "dry". So much is new since back then so while sorting through the info I found this site. So many choices now! Back then it was glass, dynaflo, ugf and a diatom for monthly maint... Now I still cant decide between acrylic and glass!!! (Prob glass due to price but, wow!). Then its what filter! But then again thats the fun of building my own aquatic world. I hope to learn about the advances and options that are different now. Thanks in advance to all the members that post and share what they know and experience learned through trial and error. Thank you again.
