Help getting an aquarium established?

I'm starting off on the great adventure of having a fish aquarium. And I definitely need help.





I have an old 10-gallon aquarium. Once I clean it out and replace the substrate, I plan on starting a fishless cycle to make my water safe for fish (no ammonia, no nitrites, low nitrates). I will be having tropical fish, so I will keep the aquarium at about 78掳F-80掳F. I will be using those glass beads as substrate because I do not want the Java Moss I'm planning on putting in to attach to the substrate. Instead, I want it to attach to some driftwood or some such unit that is easier to maintain. Our tap water comes from wells, and the water softener that it runs through adds non-iodized salt to the water (which starts at about 15 grains hard) at slightly less than 1 teaspoon every two gallons. So I shouldn't have to worry about Chlorine or Chloramine, and the water conditions should be excellent.





Once my water has cycled, I plan on adding one Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta), and two Glass Catfish to start. Maybe more compatible fish later on, though not exceeding 1 inch of fish for every gallon of water in the tank.





So if there's anything wrong with that plan, will somebody please point it out to me?





A few questions now:





-What is a suitable heating unit to keep in the tank? It would be nice if the heat output could be controlled, as the temperatures here fluctuate pretty regularly.


-What is a good filter to put into the tank? I'm on a budget, so less expensive is better. Also, from what I understand, a sponge filter is preferable, as it really helps establish and maintain a good bio-filtration system because it provides a good place for the bacteria to live.


-What kind of airflow do I need to worry about for oxygen purposes? Will a filter take care of that for me?


-What device or kit can I buy that will test the Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate levels (and maybe pH) of the water? I would prefer one that does not rely on disposable chemicals, because I want to keep very careful track of my water conditions. So an electronic one with theoretically infinite uses would be best. Although, again, I'm on a fairly strict budget.





I think that's all. Congratulations if you made it all the way through reading that. Best answer will get 10 points, I wish I could award more.|||One inch of fish per gallon, is not correct.


What I do when finding and setting up tanks, is find the amount of space each fish needs and then basically add it together.


Or go on aqadvisor, they have a fish calculator which calculates how many fish, and what tank size you need.





If you get a sponge filter, you don't need a second air output.


Sponge filters are cheap, and easily cleaned and maintained.


All you do is hook it up to an airpump, air runs through, and out creating bubbles from a tube in the top.


It doesn't pull in too much gunk though, but it is good for maintaining good bacteria.





You can also make your own filter, just look it up on youtube, all you need is a few things, and a air pump.





API test kits are good, but it is up to you.





Most heaters will have a changable heat temp, just place it near your filter and it should get good even heat throughout the tank.





Good luck!|||Here is a link for a test kit that will do all of those, use will be about 130 tests, $6.27 but the only way to get an infinite # of tests is the electronic which cost alot more about $60 to $80 each test.Any heater should maintain it's set temperature a submersible one will ensure water level does not make it fluctuate. Sponge filter is best and should cost about $6-$10 it will also pump oxygen into the tank for your catfish, betta breathes from the surface so this the air is not needed for him. Bettas prefer placid water so I recommend an air valve diffuser on your air pump hose which will be connected to your sponge filter to slow down air flow and water movement. I always recommend Tetra BlackWater Extract for Betta's it will be fine for your catfish too who also like brackish water which this will simulate, you can buy it on line by Tetra or Kent. Hope this helps Good Luck with your tank =)|||probly a typical 50W heater would do it (if the temp in your house can go down to as low as 50 i would advise a 75W instead), ones made nowadays have a temp control integrated in them





all filters save the same exact purpose, sponge filters are about as efficient as hob





in a tank that small the filter will take the care of the oxidation





glass catfish needs a minimum of 30 gallons





here's a list of what can go into 10 gals (not too many species):


http://theaquariumwiki.com/Stocking_a_10鈥?/a>|||Okay, first of all, you CAN NOT put a betta with ANY other fish. (note the name "fighting fish") it will kill anything you put with it. Next, you have to have somethingliving in the tank to start the cycle. If i were you, i would get a fist fish that i wouldn't mind not to keep, i recomend any type of feeder fish your local store carries. After about a week with the feeders, you can add your catfish and something besides a betta. I recomend cardinal or neon tetras or danios. Remember to be patient in adding and picking fish, and read any info about the fish you want to buy on the tag with it's description. I don't think you'll have much water trouble, but you should get some water conditioner anyways. As for heating, a small 20 dollar unit should do fine, and it's easy to find an adjustable one. Bio filtration is really good, but as you're on a budget and have a small tank, a simple Topfin or Whisper filter with adjustable suction force (set pretty low) and a carbon filter cartrage would probably be best. A filter with an above water output airates water extra well, and even without that it'll be fine, but you could leave the lid propped open just barely if it would make you feel better. As for the chemical testing, most pet stores carry all-in-one kits. They are simple little strips with color matching charts on the bottle or box. I use Jungle ones, and they work well, just note that any test strip will be skewed if you are treating your tank for an illness (meds mess up tests). I don't think java ferns will attach to driftwood very well, so i dont recomend it. Marbles could be an okay substrate, but course gravel is better. Gravel is actually pretty low maintanence, all you need is a siphon-vac. Just dodge plants when you clean the tank and your good. Marbles you have to dump out every once in a while to clean. Sorry for the long answer, but I hope it helps.|||Filter: Simple outside filter. Clean regularly, but only rinse the charcoal in cold water and use for a couple times. Do not clean the housing of the filter.


Substrate: You can use the glass beads or you can use very fine white silica sand. This keeps the dirt from getting caught underneath the substrate. Siphon about 15% of the water off the bottom each week or two. Chlorine drops for new water.


Heater: Just one that is suited for the size tank you have.


Fish: Bettas can get a little boring, even though they are pretty. Only one male. Or get: Angel Fish, Silver Dollar, Tetra fish. These are easy to keep and interesting.


Water: You might see if someone you know has a tank and you can take some of their water to help it start out. Set up as directed in books or by your local pet store. Have some of your tap water checked for sodium content by your local pet supply store. No all fish like sodium in their water. Perhaps you can use some spring water if the store says this is O.K.





By the way, Bettas don't kill any other fish and are actually rather placid. They will kill each other and it is inhumane to keep them in a tank with more than one male Betta, together. They are very slow swimmers and prefer smaller spaces. Then can tend to look a bit lost in most tanks and may even take to sitting in the bottom. You might begin to say, "Poor little fish, are you O.K.?" A larger fish bowl or extremely quiet tank is preferable for Bettas.

Once a time I drove to auto company to check it. He use an instrument probably is ''OBD II " to scan it . he said maybe it is caused by oil tank's vapor or gas tank cap was't locked properly. We checked cap it was locked properly.But I am very sure it cause by my wrong measurement.

Save some details for the interview. Take your summary of qualifications and condense them into a cover letter to convey your information.





Put your ITT Tech education above the certificate program - college level educations always get listed before certificates. Put them all at the top of the resume. Put no more than 3 bullet points for any of those listings and use only your most important points. Don't list so many jobs, list the 3 most relevant jobs. If you want to capitalize on your other experience, you could bullet point the position name, but I don't think you're going to have enough room for it.





Most resumes get a 10-second scan through by a potential employer. They can't take the time to read every little detail. It's a narrow down process... with a stack of 30 resumes, they're going to scan them, and hold onto maybe 5 and then read those in depth.

The instrument panel in my 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE has gone dead - none of the instruments function.?

From web searches it appears as if the body control module has gone bad, and needs repair/replacement. None of the BCM units I see listed on eBay and others look like what I see under the dash, where I see an assembly with the number PO4869141 on the side. My van has electronic locks and windows, which the eBay units seem to preclude. Anyone have any advice?


Thanks.|||Have you've tried tapping the dash sometimes if a bad connection this will help to diagnose it.Also many times the dash or cluster or gauge assembly will develop bad connections not just at the plug in connectors or wiring but internally in the soldered circuit boards.So if you can solder circuit boards or know of someone that could it's quite possible all that cluster really needs is to be re-soldered.Otherwise go to a U pull auto wreckers and take one out yourself that should save you cash and at the same time you can hand pick the cluster assembly, just be sure it is just like yours.Plus you might be lucky enough to find a used one that was actually replaced resently and could be fairly new or at least reconditioned.





Another thing that you should keep in mind is the grounds that go to the cluster one could be bad or the ground wires could have bad connections at the other ends where they connect up via wire o-ring connectors to different locals both under and behind the dash assembly etc.











Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way since the cluster assembly has more then likely more then one fuse feeding it and the body control module=BCM also controls the cluster and uses at times the same fuses it could be a ground going to the BCM or the BCM itself could be faulty.Note that if you used a U pull yard you might get the BCM and cluster for 50-100 for both items or even less.Like any item you have to shop around for best prices and for the best possible warranty but most wreckers only offer a full replacement or credit within the first 30 days.The last time I went for a cluster assembly for a Dodge as old as your vehicle is they charged me 20 bucks for it with me pulling the part out myself but thats a rare price most will charge 25-75 for it when you pull it out yourself plus they'd charge on the average about 30-50 bucks for the BCM. Remember the more you buy the more of a deal you can make and don't forget to check out things like extra bulbs, fuses, relays, spark-plug wires, coil packs, belts etc.Some U pull auto wreckers offer a flat price for all you can carry out so keep an eye open for them bec you can get tons of parts all at once for as low prices as 35-50 bucks.|||It's needs a instrument cluster. The circuit board on the back of the cluster shorts out. Pretty common on these.|||did you check to see if you have a blow fuse ??

Huge audio system discussion.?

I've been sleeping on an idea for some time now. I'm not really looking for an answer for as of now the idea is only a concept and i know that this project will cost well over 40 grand. I鈥檓 into factory looks and OEM system. As most of you know Infiniti's audio systems aren鈥檛 the to the average listener many might disagree but as an audiophile like myself many would agree their systems don鈥檛 have great sound.





I plan to fully customizing an 07 M45. I want to keep the original head unit because most of the electronic features are run through it. Also the steering wheel controls and everything about the system looks great why tamper with it? I plan to rip out every last speaker in the car and most of the upholstery for the custom interior work. At the end of this customization there will be a minimum of 30 speakers. This includes tweeters-subs. just about every surface in the car will have a speaker hidden away or fabricated into it. I have been looking at Hertz speakers that will be powered by focal amps. All wiring will be high grade Monster cables.





Here comes the discussion part:


What would be the best way to power this system? I will have 6 subs for sure. Each one powered by its own mono-D amp. Each amp is under 1000 watts. The amps won鈥檛 be that powerful and I don鈥檛 want to run them full power for safety purposes. I do not feel like replacing anything. Still warranty is a must for all of these products are going to cost well over $500.





There will be 6 mono-D amps. As of now my idea is to have at least 2-4 4channel amps to power the component systems in the housing. A total of at least 8 amps.





What do you guys think would be the most logical way to power this system? I'm considering Kinetik batteries and upgrading the alternator, though this would be the hardest part to do on this car. Powering this system will be the most difficult part on this project.|||yes u must upgrade the electrical system. alternators, batteries. u may want to cut dwn on the on the 30 speakers. some of the best systems out there use 15 to 20 at best|||You're on the right track. But I think the 40 grand is a bit much, it should be less than half that unless you're the kind that buys $100 jeans.





A minimum of 30 speakers is also a bit much for such a small space. There isn't 30 speakers in a theater. This is one of those situations where less is more, not the other way around.





Anywhoo, at leats three group 31 deep cycle batteries and upgrading to the largest alternator you can find is the way to go if at all possible.|||Kudos Sparky. I don't believe you've actually suggested "additional batteries" for this project....lmao.


I agree totally. That would provide plenty of current for this type of system so long as you get the largest alternator available for that engine and upgrade the other two parts of the Big 3, alternator and chassis wiring. (I surprised you didn't mention that Sparky, lol)

Personal Information


...................................|||Its very good... Well Done...

What remote combat options does the Army have? Aerial based MOS?

I am in the process of enlisting with the Army. I have taken the ASVAB(got a 128 on my GT score) and am in the process of working on paperwork now.





Now I have to decide an MOS that I want(that's available/becomes available). I would like to do something like pilot a predator drone or some other type of UAV or control systems associated with them. Does the army have jobs like that?





I think I would also enjoy an MOS that would required me to operate from within an aircraft. I would like to have an MOS where I would be required to fly all over the world on misc missions at a moments notice.





One final one, does the army have electronic warfare like the marines where I would work in conjunction with an infantry unit and use technology to assist them. I have thought about doing infantry or special forces but I think I would enjoy one of these more.





Are there any MOSes like this in the Army?|||To be an army UAV operator just join the army enlisted and pick 15W: have i think a 105 or 110 gt on asvab...pass a class III flight physical (which is less stringent than manned), and be able to obtain a secret clearance.





The Army 15W UAV operators operate the shadow (375 lb aircraft) the smallest, the Hunter (oldest in current fleet), the Warrior and ERMP (these two aircraft are very similar and in size to the airforce's Predator and made by same company)......All of these are operated by Enlisted soldiers and camera operated by 15W also





The Army's Raven and the MAV are very small UAVs but are not flown by 15Ws.....they are the little recon aircraft that usually fly around 1000' in the air and are operated by Combat arms guys primarily forward observers and infantry.....Its a 2-3 week course





Im a 15W and the course is minimum 6 months long at Fort Huachuca thats for the shadow....the larger UAVs require more time and have less slots available

Why is my furnace cycling on / off?

Ok, here's the real story, I fix things for a living but I get stumped once in a while. My own home's forced air gas furnace is giving me a run around. A few years ago, I installed an electronic pilot ignition system in it to replace the original standing pilot. I also raised the size of the blower fan pulley a little to try to boost performance. The ignition has worked flawlessly ever since but I have subsequently lowered back the pulley size..too noisy etc. The issue is, mostly in cold times, when the (digital) thermostat calls for heat, the ignition triggers, flame detection responds and main valve fires...all normal. The main burner continues for awhile heating the box until the temp / fan switch raises and triggers ultimately starting the blower...again all normal. Then, once the blower is running, while watching the temp / fan switch, it slowly begins to lower (presumably because the blast of cooler / cold return air coming into the box). Unfortunately it continues and gets to a point where it then shuts the blower back off to keep the unit from blowing cold air into the house. The burner stays on...never goes out...because the thermostat is still calling for heat. Then, we wait for the box to again raise in temp (remember burner is still on) to a point where the temp / fan switch will once again raise and turn on the blower moving warm air into the house....but also cooler / cold air back to the box via the return duct. The cycle continues, blower on for a little bit, temp sensor gets cooled by incoming air, blower shuts off....repeating on, and on, and on, The temp / fan switch was replaced a couple of years ago. Filter is new...actually no filter right now, but access door for the filter is sealed shut to prevent outside air from entering the return duct. The high limit setting on the temp / fan switch it is about 180 to 190....it never gets to that point, The trigger on (fan on) set point is about 125 to 150, the trigger off (fan off) point is about 65 or 70. The burners look good...but all I can think of is the unit is not putting out the level of heat it should and can't keep up with the temp of cooler air returning back to it. In thinking about this, I think the problem has been occurring probably since the conversion to the electronic ignition (maybe before) which included a new main combination valve. I am thinking of bringing PG%26amp;E in to look at the flame to see if it seems too low...but in my years of working on every kind of equipment around...including many furnaces...the flame looks fine to me...short bright blue flame rising about 3/4" from the top of the burner with a longer tail of blue and yellow raising 4 inches or so above that. Maybe it needs to be higher...I am not familiar with a level adjustment of the flame on the control valve...just the air mixture via the burners adjustable air dampners. OK experts...got any suggestions?|||Ok, here we go. The flames sound fine to me and the adjustment for the gas valve is on top of it, there is a silver screw cap covering the adjustment port. Remove cap and look down in there and you will see it. Turn CW to increase and CCW to decrease, they come factory set so you shouldn't have to mess with it, was just letting you know where it was.





Now for the limit switch. Is it the right one/size? They come in 5,8,10,and 12 inch. Referring to the bimetallic shaft that goes into the heat exchangers. Make sure it is right.





Now the settings on the on. The limit should be set to around 210-215. The set point the fan on should be between 170-190. The set point for fan off should be between 90-110. Make sure you hold onto the dial while adjusting the pointers.





One more thing. Make sure your fan is running on low speed for the winter and on high for the summer. Hot air is lighter and does not take much force to move. Hope this helps|||Your sucking heat off faster than the furnace can put out.


Try to change the lower limit to a lower temp.





The fan speed was designed to work with the heat output.|||It hates you.|||That was a very thorough description. And the problems can be resolved by using just the basic methods of trouble shooting and what we perform as routine furnace maintenance. First, the gas pressure at the gas manifold should be at 3.5 in of water column (checked with a gas pressure gauge), then the fan limit control stem should be long enough to reach the middle of the heat exchangers. The set points on the limit should be enough to maintain the correct temperature rise according to the specs on the units data tag.(30 to 40 degrees). This is tested with a digital thermometer using an air probe. These tests should make it operate properly.|||wow,


I wish i could help you,


I don't get all the technical stuff you mentioned, but let me see if i got something, maybe we have the same problem...


I will be very simple...





when the weather is too my furnace is on the highest which is 90 and is still cold


and when it's not that cold and the inside temp is for example 72, the furnace still runs even more then it should...





no repair man admits that it has a problem, but I have to live with it, the winters are just too cold with my furnace





anyway, can you answer my other question about my furnacehttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>

What appliances should use a voltage regulator?

What appliances typically are susceptible to voltage spikes and drops ? I know stereo equipment and TVs should be protected. I just bought 'OPTI-UPS SS1200 Stabilizer' to protect the control board in my pellet stove, since I just replaced it due to an ice storm.


I want to make sure I reasonably protect other items.





Refrigerator ?


desktop of course, but laptop ? don't these have voltage regulators built in ?


any other normal applicant/electronic that I am not listing ? for the $20 cost of this unit, I would not mind protecting items worth hundreds of dollars.|||Electronic equipment, especially audio, video, and konfuzers,


should be protected from out-of-tolerance voltages.


Most other things will survive temporary high or


low voltage conditions without harm.





Refrigerators and freezers can be damaged by low voltage


("brownouts") because they require a short burst


of high current to get the compressor started, and it


is not available under conditions of low line voltage.

PLEASE HELP WITH MY PAPER!?

i need to put this information (below) in my own words, BUT I'm currently studying for 3 midterms for tomorrow, plus more homework. if someone could please paraphrase this stuff it would be a HUGE help and another thing off my to-do list.:











A vehicle's ignition system provides the first steps required to start the engine. The primary goal of the system is to ignite the fuel-air mixture so that the resulting energy can power the motor. A variety of ignition system designs have been used throughout the years. However, modern cars utilize an electric spark to initiate combustion.


Modern car engine ignition systems consist of a distributor, ignition coil, spark plugs and spark plug wires. The entire system is connected to the engine's battery. The distributor is the most complex and integral component of the system, and includes a rotating cam, condenser, rotor and distributor cap.


The ignition coil is the component that connects directly to the vehicle's battery and includes two transformer windings. The primary winding feeds into the distributor, while the secondary winding connects to the spark plugs. The distributor's cam rotates in unison with the engine's compression cycle. When enough energy has been created, the spinning cam opens a breaker, which causes a high-voltage jump in the ignition coil. This voltage surge is transported to the spark plugs, resulting in the necessary electric spark to begin ignition.


There are currently two types of automobile ignition systems in use: mechanically timed and electronic. They differ mainly in the way that the high-voltage surge is released to the spark plugs. Mechanically timed systems utilize a series of breaker points, while electronic systems use optical or light sensors. Electronic ignition systems are considered superior because they eliminate the possibility for mechanical wear and improve overall effectiveness.


A car engines Ignition System with distributor type ignition systems can seem complex, but once simplified can be diagnosed with ease. Using the Diagram provided above you can see there are several different components. The most common component is the spark plug. If you do not have spark at the spark plug then you can backtrack from there. Use a new spark plug or spark tester to test for spark coming from the plug wire, if you do not see spark here, test for spark coming from the coil wire to the distributor. If these test ok, move on and look at the distributor cap and rotor for corrosion or damage. If these look ok, then you most likely have a failed ignition module. The ignition module is located under the distributor cap on GM vehicles and external on most other vehicles. Ignition module failure is the most common no spark symptom outside normal tune up maintenance.


The ECM (engine control module) controls the engine ignition timing by advancing and retarding the primary trigger signal. In old cars a points, condenser and a vacuum advance unit performed this job. This ignition coil is a pulse-type it consists, in part, of two coils of wire. These wires are wrapped around two iron cores. Because this is a step-up transformer, the secondary coil has far more turns of wire than the primary coil. The secondary coil has several thousand turns of thin wire, while the primary coil has just a few hundred raps. This allows 40,000 volts or more of voltage to be generated by a car battery.


This electrical signal is generated by the crankshaft position sensor (CKP), camshaft position sensor (CAS). The ECM calculates spark timing by using the computer system.


The initial power supplied to the ignition system is generated from the battery. All vehicles use an alternator to recharge the battery during normal operation. A low battery can cause an engine not to start even if the engine is cranking over slowly. This is because the vehicle voltage has dropped below 12 volts. If any component of the ignition system is not functioning properly, it can cause an entire ignition system failure. Proper maintenance such as a tune up can help ensure that the vehicle's ignition system operates at peak performance.


Most four-stroke engines have used a mechanically timed electrical ignition system. The heart of the system is the distributor. The distributor contains a rotating cam driven by the engine's drive, a set of breaker points, a condenser, a rotor and a distributor cap. External to the distributor is the ignition coil, the spark plugs and wires linking the distributor to the spark plugs and ignition coil.


The system is powered by a lead-acid battery, which is charged by the car's electrical system using a dynamo or alternator. The engine operates contact breaker points, which interrupt the current to an induction coil (known as the ignition coil).


The ignition coil consists of two transformer windings sharing a common magnetic core鈥攖he primary and secondary windings. An alternating current in the primary i|||This is YOUR "to-do" list -- can't understand why you think that WE would do it.

I'm replacing my Gas Furnace and Central Air Conditioner. Which brand?

I have a 1400 sq ft split entry house with a system that is roughly 35 years old. I recently had Sears come out and price a few systems out for me. They priced Carrier and Kenmore (made by Carrier). The cost of the systems ranged from $8000-11000. The Carrier was only a few hundred more than the Kenmore.





The furnace was variable speed, and the condenser was a two-speed. The range of SEER and efficiency ratings were from 14-15 SEER, and 91-95 efficiency. Some of the models included sound dampening and more of a heavy-duty housing. Also, there was a humidifier and electronic air cleaner, and 7 day programmable thermostat with humidity control.





Warranty was 10 years parts/1 year labor. Additonal 5 year labor, including 5 annual tune-ups was another $1300 (not included in the price).





I feel that this is a lot of money for this equipment? Am I wrong? Also, is Carrier/Kenmore a respected brand? My old house had Rheem and I was pleased. The Sears Salesman said Rheem was a cheap contractor grade unit....Please advise!|||Most of my air conditioning equipment at my work is Rheem, at least the stuff on the ground is.



Rheem has one major redeeming quality that sets it apart - it's designed to be worked on. Most outdoor units you see have the compressor in the center, right in the middle of the condenser coil. That's nice for a compact footprint but it's a big PITA when you need to repair something - gotta reach over the coil, which itself is pretty fragile. Rheem puts it to the side so you can do everything on the level, very convenient.



That price sounds a little strong, but I reckon it includes installation, which isn't small potatoes. But call a few more contractors. Get more prices. Estimates are free, you know. The more info you have, the better armed you are against a hard sell, and the Sears guy knows that a lot of folks that come to Sears for that kind of service really don't want to think about it - they just want it done and will take the hit in the wallet to not have to learn anything.



10 years warranty is good. 1 year labor is typical. Additional warranty isn't really worth it, do some annual maintenance (coil cleaning, for instance) and keep the filters changed and it'll go past 10 years easily.



Check with your local utility, they may have recommendations and/or a financing plan that makes it a little less painful to get a new AC system. Shop around and look for the Energy Star rating, and try for the tax rebate (is that still going? I don't know) to take a little bite off.



Variable speed fan is good, two speed compressor is good. That makes your system more effective at off-peak times, and may cut your utility bill.



IMHO you're seeing a bid that's a little on the high side. Shop around. Rheem is a perfectly good brand, some of the units I have in service are over 15 years old and going strong. Trane is good, Carrier is good, Lennox is good.



Stay away from Goodman and Janitrol.



That's it. Good luck with it.|||I'd go with Rheem|||A salesman is not above putting down another model to make a sale. There is nothing wrong with Rheem, Carrier, York, etc. I would get another contractor or 2 to get different estimates. A 10 Warranty is fine - if something were to go wrong it would usually be in the first year or 2. An additional warranty may not be necessary and, unless you have allergy problems, an electronic air cleaner is not worth it but a humidifier is necessary. If you can get a higher SEER that would be better, the 91-95 efficiency is good even though that also could be improved a bit. I am guessing you have gas heat though you did not mention it. Most gas companies also have a service contract that includes the annual tune-ups at a much lower cost. Look into that as well.
