    I'm thinking about it because it's very time-consuming. I work a 40 hour week and would like to spend my free time doing something with my family and not cleaning the aquarium. I've had it for 3 years now. We had a custom cabinet & canopy made for it, I love the way it looks but it's the...

    I'm thinking about changing from saltwater to fresh water....

    How difficult is it? Once I get rid of the live rock--etc...can I keep the same substrate? I guess I'd have to rinse it well. I'd lose the protein skimmer, but can I use the same trickle filter I have...just get new wheels & of course filters??????

    How is ich transferred?

    My marine setup had ich about a year ago now & to tell you the truth I'm still nervous about it. As it was a reef tank I couldn't use copper to take care of the problem. I was told once you use copper to treat a tank you can never make it back into a marine set up either. It took a little...
