    29G up and cycling!

    Honestly you do not need to add fish.......put in a dead shrimp and wait. Everything will be fine. The algae is normal. Look at it this way. You want the things that you put in your tank to have something to eat right?

    Should we leave it in there or try to get it out?? Is it food for any of the animals we keep in a nano? I dont mind it in there if I can feed it to something in the future.

    ahhh, I mixed the salt prior to adding the LR. It was already mixed but the water was still cloudy. I see what you mean though. I will be getting seawater from my LFS store from now on.

    How in the world, do women with kids, work?

    yep, that would be why I am divorced too........I basically did everything. My ex would wait until I came home and then ask me to do stuff that he could do himself. He wouldn't bathe, feed or put the kids to bed until we were divorced and he had to. i actually taught him to cook and he still...

    Outstanding!! You are doing great......Remember that your weight can fluctuate as much as 5 pounds during the day so try to weigh yourself first thing in the morning which is usually when you weigh the least and a more accurate representation of your true weight.

    wow yelled at

    I honestly don't feel like he was being immature. I think that he feels passionate about it and wants others to understand why it is so important. One thing I will say that I like about him is that passion. I don't agree with everything he does or has said for sure but at least he isn't having...
