Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo was on again. I may have missed it but I don’t recall ever seeing where he got his fish food. If he’d had a computer he could have ordered it online from The Aquarium Guys at http://www.aquariumguys.com/fish-food.html. The Aquarium Guys carry over 200 types of fish food, so I’m sure anyone needing fish food can find what they’re looking for there. I never knew there were so many types of different fish food. I learned on this site that different fish need different foods to accommodate different dietary needs and feeding habits, and that contrary to what we thought, fish won’t eat just any food because they’re not all the same. We’ve had several fish tanks over the years. I bought hubby a 55 gallon tank once but anything we put in it always died. We got the tank used, so maybe there was a problem with it. Fish can get pretty expensive to buy, so if we were to ever get another tank I’d want to buy a new one and make sure we did everything right. The Aquarium Guys offer in depth setup and maintenance guides, which might have helped us with our tank of death.

As mentioned previously, our house has four televisions. In the interests of saving space and streamlining the look of two of our bedrooms, I have been considering upgrading our televisions to flat panel lcds and raising them higher than the dresser tops they reside on currently. I know it’ll take us a while to save enough money to replace the two televisions, but I like to be prepared so I started browsing websites to get price ranges now.

I don’t know what make or model of television we’re going to get, but I know it will be a flat panel. Until I was asked to review the AV Now website I never had any idea that there are so many different styles of tv wall brackets, and that there’s something available for every price range. I found the AV Now website to be very helpful and well put together.

The AV Now website sells so many different brackets I thought I’d be confused. Fortunately, the folks at AV Now split everything up into categories including flat to wall brackets, tilting wall brackets and pull out or tilt & turn brackets. The site also carries other related items including TV stands, trolleys, desk mounts and ceiling mounts. Last, but certainly far from least, AV Now carries a large number of cables, accessories & aerials.

One of the popular items on the site is the GD20 bracket which is a universal, adjustable wall mount bracket for 14-22 inch lcd monitors. As is the case with most of the products AV Now carries there is a picture of the bracket. There are tabs containing product features and specifications that tell you everything about the product that you could want to know. For example, this bracket pivots, swivels and tilts. It can hold up to 22.05 pounds, tilts up to 140 degrees, swivels up to 120 degrees and has a security screw to hold the monitor in place. It comes with a ten year warranty and is VESA standard compliant.

When I saw VESA standard compliant I didn’t know what it meant. I wasn’t left wondering for long, because AV Now offers an extensive section of helpful articles on popular topics including standards and cables. What I consider to be the best feature on AV Now is the bracket finder. All you need to do is enter the model television you have and it finds the right bracket for you. It doesn’t get easier than that!

I give AV Now a thumbs up. They’ve been in business since 2002 and are only partner with the best manufacturers and suppliers to ensure quality and customer satisfaction.
