Sorry, I'm new here but not new to Saltwater aquariums. Out of curiosity, did you have to reinforce your floor any when installing your 400gl? Any regrets going that big? I was going to upgrade my tank to a 220gl and an opportunity came up to upgrade to a 400. I apologize if this isn't the place to ask. Thank you.

Tiffany lives in Arizona, we don't have basements out here, they pour a concrete foundation right on the dirt then build a house on it.

I know the foundation on my house is 6 inches thick...

Just make sure if you soak the food in garlic it's not the bottled garlic juice that you can get at pet stores. I hear it's not even effective or worth bothering with. I soak all my food in fresh garlic juice.

Really? So your saying that using Garlic guard is useless? I soak my fish food in garlic guard once or twice a week in an attempt to keep their immune system boosted. Owner of the LFS said it's a good thing to do.

Garlic is fine to get a picky eater to eat but there is absolutely no evidence that bottled garlic extracts can boost a fish's immune system.

 

None.

 

If you want to get a fish to eat more then crushing your own fresh garlic is far better than anything that's been sitting on a shelf for weeks that's loaded with preservatives.

Yeah, it basically is. Over time it basically breaks down in the bottle and becomes a lot weaker than actual fresh garlic would be.
