    40 Breeder update.

    Just thought I would post some pictures on how my 40 Breeder is doing. Finally got the hang of my DSLR a bit so my pictures I thought were worth sharing. The only critters that are not visible is my cleaner shrimp and Flame Angel. They both like to hide as soon as they see a camera. I have the...

    Setting up a Saltwater making station in the garage.

    I wanted to ask what would be best to clean out the Brute 32 Gallon trash can I picked up from lowes today? I know to not obviously use any soaps but I wanted to make sure to get rid of any chemical residue from the store.

    I moved down south!

    Well I moved back down to my home state this past week and I am really happy to be back! Unfortunately I decided I was unable to bring down any of my animals with my tanks.

    Interesting Observation

    Well I have been stuck home for the last three days with the flu and it has allowed me to watch my tank through out the day at a time that I usually can't.

    Pistol Rampage

    Well I made one of the biggest mistakes last week adding a mated pair of Caribean Pistols to my 14 gallon. When I was looking at the pair they were in a 12 gallon tank with chromis and two cleaners for months. So I didn't think they would have an issue with them being aggresive. However the...

    Viper Metal Halide

    I am thinking about upgrading the lighting on my 14G Biocube to the Viper clip on metal halide. I am debating on either the 70W or 150W. I have never worked with this much light before, does anyone have any suggestions? I am worried that the 150W may be too strong.
