i read swf.com's way to do it, is there any way you could cut a smaller piece out of it? mine is getting a little big for a 29G. It is really beautiful and the lfs never has them in, so i could definitely get store credit. any help would be appreciated. what would i use to cut it??? Z

i got one a few weeks ago. it is a great fish. the first few days it wouldn't eat, or come out from the liverock much. it looked for a place to build a burrow. make sure you have a dsb. even the little jawfishs will go way to the bottom of your sand bed. they are really beautiful and once...

what is the cheapest place to get lighting? i want to upgrade my 29G from 40W to 2 VHOs or PCs. maybe a MH but id rather not. i would like to keep softies, brains and maybe a couple clams. if you could write in the how much it would cost , and the website that would be great. Z
