    Sounds like you got the temp thing figured out. Let me know when you get back what average temp your able to keep. I may have to rig a fan up in the next few months, we'll see.

    I had no idea. Good to know though. I can always get some small tetras as snack food, haha jk. So anyways, my ammonia levels in my saltwater tank ended up being nill. So After waiting another week I added another clown to replace the one I lost. He seems to be doing well. I'll take some more...

    I've considered that, but the way I have the tank laid out, it's sort of a divider between my sitting area and my poker table. Since its sticking out of the wall length wise not width wise, I may add a black background to the side against the wall though, not a bad idea. Danky: Let me know how...

    So I decided to give myself a distractor to keep from impulse buying for my saltwater tank. [plus ever since I got my nano set up; everyone has been saying how boring my fresh water system is in comparison] So yesterday I upgraded my freshwater tank. I'd been running an undergravel filtration...

    sounds like a good plan; thanks guys. I had originally been under the impression that turbo snails, a shrimp and hermit crabs were all one needed for a clean up crew. Didn't know the cerith and nass were that important
