Our sponsor AquariumGuys.com is currently having a 10% off sale on air pumps and air stones till the end of the month. Good time to pick up something if you’ve been putting it off. Why are air pumps and air stones important?

Proper aquarium aeration is one of the most important things to consider in setting up any aquarium. Low oxygen levels are more common – and dangerous – than often realized. Use an air pump to bring fresh oxygen into your tank and power certain equipment. Add air stones to aid in circulation and create beautiful displays of shimmering bubbles.

If you have a large tank, consider supplementing your aeration system with a water pump or powerhead that will aid in properly circulating the oxygen through your entire tank.

It’s contest time again! This time, we’ve upped the stakes.

I want your best (or worst, as the case may be) stories about mistakes you’ve made in your time as a hobbyist. Don’t be embarrassed – everyone has a story! I was actually inspired to run this contest based on another thread on this forum where some of you voluntarily shared such experiences, so I know you’ve got em.

And I’m willing to shell out for them too – $75 gift certificate to the first place submission, $50 for second place, and $25 for third place – so now’s your chance to turn those early mistakes into sweet rewards. The caveat with this contest is that I want to publish our favorite submissions in a section on AquariumGuys.com – so that fellow beginners can take some solace in the fact that they are not alone and that stumbling along the way shouldn’t discourage anyone from learning more and succeeding in the end.

I will use whatever name you wish – forum name, real name, pen name – but I ask that you submit only if you are willing to have your dirty laundry aired on our site!! Hopefully, in the spirit of fun, camaraderie and big prizes, you’ll indulge me.
