hello everyone i am new to mfk.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
We just moved to monroe ga. We havent gotten a chance to explore any shops yet. If anyone knows of some good aquarium shops in northern georgia please let me know. Thanks
 
I'm not sure how far ya'll are willing to drive but Aquarium Outfitters in Athens is great. I also like the Pet Land there, the main guy in the fish department we talk to is pretty knowledgeable and always willing to help/chat. :)
 
thank you we will go check them out . we are only 25 minutes from athens. all that is near us is petsmart and petco.
 
There is a PetSmart there too but figured ya'll would already have one nearby. You're welcome :D
Oh the PetLand has Fish Fridays, fishies and plants are 10% off. I believe Aquarium Outfitters gets their shipments in on thursdays. So we try to go to both of them on Friday.
 
Hello, I am new also. Not even sure how to do this. I am new to aquariums but have been a pond enthusiast for 15 years. I live in Michigan and keep the pump running in my very small pond all winter. I have never lost a goldfish. BUT, now I am in the planning stages of building a 1000 gallon tank to house Discus and appropropriate tankmates. I have been studying and researching everything I can and am still having some issues. I have watched Joey "King of DIY" on youtube and have asked him some questions but haven't gotten any response. On his 500 gallon aquarium, he has 3 aquarium heaters that hang on the side of his 55 gallon drum to heat the water before the pump sends it into the aquarium. His pump is approximately 4600gph. I cannot quite figure out how, with that force of water going into the aquarium, 3 small heaters in that barrel can heat that water in such a short time. Now, if that works, I would need 6 1000W heaters to heat 1000 gallon tank to a temperature of 82 degrees. I have looked into inline titatium heaters ($800) and have considered heater via a standard water heater pre-drip. But, none of these seem to be practical. ISN'T THERE A BETTER WAY TO HEAT AN AQUARIUM? Any ideas fish lovers?
