    freezing selcon

    I'm getting ready to make a batch of my own fish food. Have some clams, shrimp, crab, etc. Gonna add some seaweed to it as well. I was wondering if I can add the selcon before I freeze it; it would obviously be much more convenient to add all at once and freeze then have to add it every day...

    dwarf angel or fairy wrasse in a 29

    2 questions - macro lighting and cycle

    20 Gal L LED lighting

    Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I searched the forum and can't find an answer. I've been out of the hobby for 4 years and a lot has changed. Would a couple of 60 degree par38's be best or are people using some sort of led strip for this size tank? I'd like to keep mostly softies...
