so what happens if there was an emergency say a leak, we'd have to take everythng out and dump it into a new tank. wouldnt this kill the fish ? or should we already have another tank setup for this type of situation?

I was just wondering about something, maybe you guys can help me. Say my tank is fully cycled, and then something bad happens and I remove the water from the tank, will taking the water out change anything? I mean do you have to re-cycle your tank again? 10 gallon tank sitting in my room and is...

Ok, I have to set up my powerheads soon, I was wondering how should I set it up? Should the powerheads all face one direction so that the water hits the glass and circles back? Or should one face the left, the other the right direction etc.,? I have ordered 4 submersible powerheads maxijet 1200...
