My dad works at a local pet store and he always brings me home tons of frozen foods like bloodworms, krill, silversides, etc. I use them for fresh. but can...

    Ok so I can save money with out having to buy a skimmer. Awesome so I'll get mostly base rock and then a few pieces of live rock. Aqueon quietflow 75/90 should be a good filter right? Now with saltwater, how does one do a water change? Do you simply just do small 10-15 maybe 20 percent and...

    I think it's time to finally go saltwater. I've been keeping freshwater all my life and I still will. But I think it's time to do one saltwater tank, the only thing I have to worry about is my budget. I have a very limited income and do not want to pay over $700. I will be a beginner to...
