I need to replace the light on my 29 gallon and I was considering
saving money by using a shop light.
My question, is it reasonable to hang the light a few inches above a
glass top or is it necessary for the light to rest right on the glass?

I thought that this article might interest this group.

I work in a warehouse with over 200 individual tanks.  The prevention of
the passage of pathogens from tank to tank is paramount.  Until now we have
been using concentrated QuickCure (formaldehyde and malachite green) dips
to that end, but that chemical is now illegal to sell ...

Once mature filter sponges/ceramic rings/wool has dried out, does it mean
all the friendly bacteria are dead?
I have a small, decommissioned tank i'll be passing on to a friend, and the
filter media has been dried out for a week or two.

Please some one remind me what plants goldfish type fish (I have an oranda)
do not like to eat.  It has been some time since I ordered plants, and now I
cannot recall which ones it didn't eat down to a stem.
Thanks!

There's another good article in Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine about
Bettas and how badly treated they are. People keeping them in tiny,
unheated bowls. This is the second piece in a matter of months doing
so too.

Right from a breeders  fishroom......I picked them up when I was at
the coast earlier this week. I stopped by a lfs there and I inquired
about angels and he did not have what I wanted, but looked in his
book.......and he gave me the address of a person &  phone # that

Such a shame....
Folks can't even talk about fish anymore here.
Anybody buy any new fish, have a spawn, a crash, anything going on
that has to do with keeping tropical, freshwater fish?
