Great idea for a videogame!?

Good idea, but all the people who think video games turns people into killers will demand that you eventually become part of a plot to kill Hitler.

Please explain this grammar from an ESL perspective?

You could use HAS/MANAGED if the clause stood alone, but in the context it would be confusing. Because you're talking about two time periods (the time period when he managed the Texas outfit and this morning/today) in one sentence, it's best to use a past tense (here, the past continuous) to indicate that one is finished (the time he was in Texas) and one (this morning/today) is still in progress.

It is estimated that by the Year 2050 ..66% of people will be obese in the UK?

Obesity is not a crime. If there happens to be a 66% obesity rate in the UK, so be it. The people should be able to live their lives how they choose to do so. If that means eating more, and eating unhealthy, that is their right.

Help! Can anyone help me with my sick fish?

I was recently given a goldfish, 2 little albino corys and a sucker fish. From day 1 we had problems with the sucker fish, it was behaving irratically and wouldnt eat and eventually it died. From then on i went and bought a tiny little silver fish(like a gold tetra i think!) and a calico moor. Everything seemed to be going along smoothly for a week untill the little fish started to swim irratically and its coloured stripe began to chang into a very pale purple. After a bit or research i put it down to simbladder disease and took action, fortunatly it survived so i put it back into the tank. At the same time i began to notice that the other fish began to miserable and after a few days the little fish died, followed closely, and suddenly, by the albinos. We are left with a golfish and calico moor who look poorly:( They swim in a very depressed manner, somtimes floating upside down. Could this be Ick/ich disease? I havnt noticed any spots but ive checked the water & feed & thats all fine

Which brand and model canister filter would be best for a 210 gallon aquarium?

I always recommend buying a filter that is rated for around twice the volume of the aquarium. On a tank of this size I would personally choose a sump, however this means that the tank will have to be drilled for an overflow weir, adding to the expense of setting up the aquarium. You could take a look at the larger external filters such as the Fluval FX5 and the Eheim professional 3e.
