I would suggest working at a local store that you like for 6 months or so part time. You can learn best practices and learn from others mistakes this way, and there are a lot of mistakes to be made. You can also become familiar with suppliers, distributors, etc. MIKE

I'm starting a new tank and am considering using a liquid salt I saw mentioned on www.fritzpet.com , Has anyone used this. Comments? I am curious what is the prefered brand of salt. Thanks, MIKE

I know that it takes a while for the temp to actually get to where it needs to be, maybe even a day or two. So it would be difficult to determine if it was working well on a certain size tank (especially a large tank). I would ask for a guarantee that a certain size chiller would work in your...

Does anyone have any experience with the Fritz/Teclima Chillers? You can see the specs at... http://www.fritzpet.com I have a 72 gallon tank and am considering one of these models. I'm looking for good/bad comments and recommendations. Thanks!
