Since it's a long tank you may want to consider useing a powerhead with the filter to help with circulation rather than just the filter. I'm running both a HOB filter and a submersible powerhead in most of my tanks. It will of course depend on the type of fish you keep . ^_^ [link=H2g2]http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/upgrade.html" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] 2005 Don't Leave Home Without it[/font]

For what he thought was H20, was H2SO4
