    Am I being to sensitive??

    Hi, When I was 12 years old going to school in Chicago, I wore a top with black and gold colors on it. I got beat up after school for waring their gang colors. (Latin Queens) Mind you I didn't put the outfit together, it was bought that way. That was oh so many years ago, and the world has...

    Algea

    Hi and welcome, It is part of cycling as I understand it. However, I got hermit crabs to eat it when it was in my tank. They love brown algae. If you get a good sand sifting critter nothing will accumulate on the sand.

    HELP Newbie having difficulties.

    Hi, I was wrong in this case. Still you checked and made sure I was wrong, that's what I call, doing things right. I agree with Sepulatian to get rid of the airstone. It is cute but it has no place in a saltwater tank. The plastic plants will just get covered in algea. Get some live rock, cure...

    Koralia powerhead size for 72 gallon bowfront

    Hi, I have a 4 and a 2 in my 90g. I was thinking of getting another 4 to replace the 2. They don't beat things up as bad as the other types of power heads. koralia's make a real nice wave effect. Best of all they stay put.
