    coraline algae

    This might be a stupid question, but does it work for all coraline or just the purple? I like to see the light greens and stuff more also.

    Simple Green

    I agree, simply green doesn't rinse that easy. Buy a large jug of vinegar and fill the tank with water and pour all the vinegar in a let it sit for a couple of days and then elbow grease. Just because its natural doesn't mean its not strong and cause damage to things. This hobby is expensive...

    Long, but unbelievable.

    They are suppose to call me today with what they are doing. If they won't do anything, then my wife will put an editorial in the newspaper and also notify the BBB. Don't mess with my wife when she is taking invertility medications.

    Long, but unbelievable.

    We wish, but they our saying its how they set up the tank. The mega flow would cover the drill holes. It would cost more for an attorney, but we will see what we can do.

    Long, but unbelievable.

    Thats funny, we thought the same thing. They still say they did this for a reason. This from the person that thought they installed the tank upside down.

    Size skimmer

    I am going to get the ASM protien skimmer since most people says it is very good. I heard of some people stating to get a larger size. I have a 90 gallon tank with a wet/dry for a 125g. If I get the ASM-1gx for a 150 gallon that has the 3500 pump would that be right or over kill. There is only a...

    Finding Nemo in the Pet Store

    Its just a movie and wasn't meant to teach people. When I went a saw the movie Backdraft, there was a bunch of fellow Firefighters saying how it wasn't real that it didn't have all the smoke. I told them that if it had all the smoke that would naturally be in the fire, all we would hear is the...

    Diamond or Golden Headed Goby?

    I didn't think of that, I have diatoms down in the sand and was hoping the sand sifters would get down to it. The snails only did the surface and went to town on the rest. Gotta love those snails. Would love to hear the input on eating the good stuff though.

    Electricity ????s

    Most non-appliance area outlets are on a 15 amp breaker. If you need to upgrade to a 20 amp, have an electrician (or someone that really knows what they are doing that isn't an electrician) check the size of the wire. If it can't handle the 20 amp, you will overheat the wires. At the same time...
