    Picking up a tank this week!

    Youre probably right. I think I will pick up the 20. Its bigger and its cheaper. Also comes with two fish. I will probably pick up a better suited filter and heater for it, however. I will most likely get rid of the damsels and pick up a stereotypical clown too. Only time will tell. Im...

    Picking up a tank this week!

    The way I figure it, if I get the 20g, I could always use it as my sump when the 75 gets up and running. However, I couldnt decide whether to get the 12g or 20g. (I know I wouldnt be using the 12g as a sump. I would get another 20.) Mark

    fair price for online LR or base rock?

    Definately go off craigslist. There was a man selling it around my way super cheap. 120lbs of tonga branch and something else out of a 6yr established tank for $100!! Now, you may not always find this, but I thought that was fantastic! Both of my LFSs sell their rock at $8-11/lb even rubble...

    Brackish Water question...wha????

    Puffers produce an enormous amount of waste, so make sure you keep up on the water changes regularly. Weekly or better would be ideal if you dont have a great filter. In a 20g, the water will get foul quickly so make sure youre also up on your testing. I used to have a figure 8 puffer and a...

    Thats fantastic. I didnt know there could be such a thing that would only have the ability to go that high..or have the ability to not go higher than that. Either way you look at it. Mark

    Baking Soda as Ph Buffer?

    Oh! I should have thought of that. I was thinking you had a pool of some sorts modded into an aquarium or something. (That would be a completely amazing thing to see!) Good to hear. I had to make up my own face for that one, the forums faces didnt have one that would fit. . Mark

    Baking Soda as Ph Buffer?

    Hmmmm... I wonder if this could also help with stomach aches? Some are caused by high acidity levels..so bringing the pH into the alkaline range should theoretically stop the stomach ache...? Mark
