    growth on tank

    Okay, an extremely rookie question. I've noticed that a lot of tanks from the pics have some growth on the back walls of the tank. Is this some sort of beneficial algae and does it grow on the front wall and require constant scraping? Seems kinda strange to me that this is good for the tank.

    a little late to join this thread, but I think the Indians will beat the Rockies 4 games to 2 in the World Series. I stick by my original prediction of Cleveland beating the Rockies 4 games to 2 in the Series. However, the Rox make me a little nervous considering they swept the d-backs too...

    First Video of my 240g FOWLR

    Beautiful tank. In about a year I am wanting to start one almost just like that. About a 200 with tangs, angels, lions and an eel. What do you use for filtration, besides the skimmer?

    MLB Take Your Pick

    I hate the yankees organization, but I like many of their players and have tremendous respect for Joe Torre. George S and most yankee fans are too fickle. Joe Torre has no right to be fired. And I don't feel that A-Rod was appreciated enough. Regarless of the errors he had in his first year at...

    MLB Take Your Pick

    This should be a couple of interesting series. Every team swept their opponent except the Indians who almost did. I'm pulling for the Indians or the Rockies but I think that Boston has the most complete team.

    skimmer and filter size?

    A little confusion about the size of skimmer and filter I would need. Say I were to have 200 gal. tank, would I need a skimmer rated for the 200 or for the sump that it would be in. Because technically the skimmer and filter only see the amount of water that the pump delivers to it. So really...

    starting off big

    Is it too risky for some one to just start off with a big aquarium (around 200 Gal.) or should i just get a smaller one and work my way up. I only have experience with a 29 gal freshwater but I've done my reading. I have to wait til I graduate in Dec. but I want a large aggressive tank. thanks
