Apart from trying to get some Discus posters whilst in the U.S. there are a few other things I want to source to bring back and test out...
What I want is suggestions, anything at all, electrical or not.
Examples of some items I want to look at or purchase...

By assembling a variety of unique parts in multple ways, the Customflo is only limted by the imagination. It can be used on large or small aquariums or to upgrade any existing system.
