Ski, Thanks for the advice. Your tanks are fantastic. Andrew

I'm expecting the delivery of a 55gal tank soon and thought this would be a good time to dive into the salt water experience. I've been keeping freahwater fish for about 4 years now, (I originally started when I was a teen). Where do I begin and what equipment would I need? I'm sort of a...

What do you think it is then?

No labored breathing or flicking. Just an extended gill with some redness inside. All other activities seem to be fine. I have started a gill fluke treatment just in case. Regarding bacteria, there has been a cloudy look to the aquarium for several weeks that I can't seem to fix. I've cleaned...

My cat fish's left gill appears to be always opened. It also appears to be inflamed inside. Any ideas regarding the cause and possible remedies? Thanks Andrew

That's why this option was so desirable. There was absolutely NO NOISE created by the unit, since it was under water.

This was an actual product that plugged into an electrical outlet and was placed on the substrate. It generated air flow/bubbes directly from the unit, and only in that area. It you wanted more buibbles in different locations throughout the tank, then additional units would need to be...

I seem to recall seeing a small under water bubble maker that doesn't require a pump, (so it's extremely quiet), but can't find this product anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks
