I would suggest trying to vary the diet as much as possible. I really like the saltwater multipack by San Francisco Bay Brand. It has 4 different varieties of food: Marine Cuisine, Emerald Entrée, 100% Squid, & Omega-3 enriched Brine Shrimp. It offers a good variety of food and has vitamins. I...

Here is my new 75 stand that I built. It is made with 1x4 and 1x6 boards as opposed to 2x4's. I was somewhat nervous about doing this, but the stand is rock solid! Way better than the prebuilt stands i see at stores. I doubled up the boards most of the way around. The boards are screwed...
