    to all college students...

    hey, for all you guys in the dorms........ what do you do when it comes to having to transport the tanks during breaks (aka, like during christmas break, summer break, spring break, etc etc). Any good ideas, or would it just be better to sell the fish back to the lfs and buy new ones :(

    Starr....... Im somewhat new to this hobby as well (having only one 37 gallon tank), but from what i know, SLOW IS BETTER! Its good you let it cycle with just water and live sand, but adding 25lbs of live rock and a lionfish is going to add alot of ammonia and nitrates. Dont plan on adding...

    Mini Nano Tanks???
