    Oook. So I just got done cleaning my apt and checked all my levels. Everything is PERFECT. That live rock I has really does wonders, that top flat piece is a pretty strong piece.

Also took the snails and put them...

    Yeah I was gonna say I need something for my sand bed. I'll look into those. Do you think it's dried salt water that is causing the skunk smell? Either that or the guy who lives above me is harvesting about 800 lbs of weed lol.
