    Preparing garlic food?

    Thanks for the response. I did try mincing up fresh cloves. Not a lot of juice really comes out of each one, but I think I got it soaked pretty good. A couple of fish even ate the little pieces of garlic floating around. Thanks again!

    Preparing garlic food?

    I've seen some people post about feeding their fish garlic soaked food to help their immune system/ick/etc. Can anyone post the procedure and product you use when preparing the garlic soaked food? Like is there some liquid form of garlic that you buy? Do you grind up pure cloves? etc? Thanks!

    Brown Sand

    My new 110 is going through the same thing, and has been for the past week. I have nothing in mine yet but about 10 lbs of LR and 8 damsels. But today I added 10 small hermit crabs, and OMG!! That stuff is like filet mignon to them. The brown was almost all nearly gone in a few hours...

    110 gal lights for anemones?

    I just set up a 110 gal tank with dims: 18deepx28tallx48wide. The tank came with 2 32W aquarium lights. What kind of additional lights will I need to healthily keep anemones and corals? Can anyone be specific with what models and setups they are using on similar sized tanks with success...
