I am contemplating purchasing a large fish tank, probably around 8' x 3' x 30" I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for local, well-established, businesses with showrooms where I can see the products firsthand that produce such tanks on a regular basis. Thanks!

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me to troubleshoot. I have a Penguin Biowheel 350 Hang on filter that has no suction and it's impeller has become very noisy. I have cleaned it out thoroughly. And after trying to refit it dozens of times, it will not run as it should. It remains noisy and...

This morning on my way to the bus stop I noticed that a neighbor has a magnolia tree that is losing leaves in the regular course. The leaves are brown and firm, and somewhat resemble Indian almond leaves. I've done a little research using search engines and discovered that the general...

I have a large jar full of fossilized shark's teeth collected by my late mother off the beach in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. I was thinking that a few of the larger teeth might look good scattered about the bottom of one of my aquariums. I'm worried, however, that they might change the water...
