    I just really need to rant about this! xD

    Instant Ocean test kits. I got a kit a little while ago and wow I hate it. You have to carefully open this small packet of powery acid or some other dangerous chemical, and while you're trying to get the stuff in the little "vial" (idk what to call it) of course some of it gets on your hand, so...

    Quaratine Tank Question

    Thank you sepulatian, :) I have one more question-could I stick some pieces of LR in there instead of a sponge to start the cycle? I was thinking of doing that and then taking them out before the fish go in, but will that cause the tank to cycle again since I took out alot of the bacteria?

    Quaratine Tank Question

    So I have a 30 gal quaratine tank set up right now, well sorta. It has an internal filter and a HOB filter and I stuck a heater in there, and of course it has saltwater. But I was wondering if I have to cycle this tank too, before I use it for fish quaratine? Cause I'm going to take this tank...

    Share Your Fishy Memories!

    here's another sorta dumb-funny one. (this happened also when I was little) I wanted to keep some fish, they looked so cool in the petstore! So my dad bought us (me, my sister and brother) 7 fancy goldfish. So we had a tank (idk how many gallons) and we started to fill it up with water :) we...

    Share Your Fishy Memories!

    So last night I was thinking about these boards, and I got an idea. I wanted to share some of my "fishy memories" with the people here, who, unlike my family wouldn't find them extremely boring and nerdy :) But I also like reading other people's stories too, so post away :D btw, try to keep the...

    Monterey Bay Aquarium Pics

    Nice pics! I really love that place! Although I haven't gone in quite a while, it's hard to convince my dad to drive us (my brother and sister too) all the way over there. and my brother doesnt really want to go there now since I got into the marine aquarium hobby. My brother: "But Dad, she'll...

    mighty putty???

    I'm glad it seems to be working for you! I bought a stick of putty from marineland, and if I had a choice, I wouldn't buy it again. first, it smells so bad when I opened it, I wanted to run outside to get air. XD But once I stuck it underwater, I couldn't really smell it so I tried it. It says...

    Rules on Stocking?

    I know people are always arguing over "rules" for stocking marien aquariums, and then of course it can depend on what fish you plan to keep also. Soo I have a 55 gal, and I made a list of what fish I would maybe like to keep, but I know I definately can't fit them all in there :P But I've heard...
