I've been looking for a protien skimmer for my 72g aquarium, and I have determined that I need need to move the tank (not enough room for any hang on type), so to do that I am going to need to drain it and move it. My plan of action to do this is.. purchase a 30g QT tank, transfer 30 gallons...

I have read on this site that mixing the two is not recommended. But I could could get a definate supportable answer that stated the exact reason why they were/are not mixable. After consulting with 3 LFS's that all use a mixture of CC & LS (and are primarily saltwater LFS's) I mixed 50/50...

Ok I am a newbie.. right now I have a tank with good water and CC... nothing else, I have read that mixing the two (CC and LS) is a bad idea. I think for what me and my wife want with our 72g tank I need to go w/ LS. My wife really wants to have some coral along with the sand? Would it be...
