Does anyone out there know of a US distributor for 'Tunze' equiptment?  This
seems to be a German company (don't know if east or west) that produces very
high-tech marine aquarium products.  To quote from 'Practical Fishkeeping':

 "For those unfamiliar with Tunze equiptment, an osmolator is a device which
  replaces water as it evaporates.  An unhacked version can be genuinely
  sensitive to 5ml in a hundred gallon tank.  If 5ml of water evaporates, 5ml
  of water is dosed back into the system."

By the way, Practical Fishkeeping is a British magazine that I picked up at a
local pet store.  It has sections on fresh and salt aquariums, as well as 
artificial ponds(!) and biofilters for same.  Would you believe that one guy 
was asking for advice on building a 10'x4'x4' salt water aquarium?  That's
five TONS of water!  Hope he lives in the basement ... 'cause he will once
he fills that tank.
