Aquarium:
Purchased from Local Dealer
All-Glass Co. 29 gallon



Filter:
Purchased from PetWarehouse (see LINKS)
Whisper Power Filter Model 5
Basically, I use the power filter as a reservior to put filter media such a Seachem Carbon and Phosguard in the Bio-Bags. The Bio-Bags also help trap any unwanted particulate matter. The power filter also contains a Flow Control Knob, which allows for slower flow rates at feeding time to keep food out of the filter.



Protein Skimmer:
Purchased from Premium Aquatics (see LINKS)
CPR BAKPAK II
Incorporates CPR's proven, high performance rejuvenation protein skimmer that removes organic waster before water enters the bio-filter. No need to buy overflow, return pump or that complex plumbing. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to clean. CPR's legendary design and construction mean years of trouble free service. For tanks up to 60 gallons.
