    How often do you do your water changes?

    Anyone/LFS around Southeast region 150-300 gallon tank pricing search!

    The good thing about Acrylic is if you scratch it, you can buff it out with an inexpensive kit you can buy. I unfortunately have scratched my glass tank, and am stuck with the damage. Plus Acrylic won't have a silicon seal that can fail 10 yrs. down the road. Happened to a friend of mine with...

    Will this coral make it?

    If I cut this leather in four pieces, like a pizza. How do you recommend attaching it to a rock? Has anyone tried this? How long did it take before it grew back?

    I don't know if the coral is dead. My heater failed when I was out of town for 5 days. The tank dropped to 62 Deg. All the fish made it but my "Toadstool Leather" no longer has its frilly tentacles hanging out. He doesn't look to be deteriating, but it has been 4 days and they still aren't...
