    Blue Velvet Damsel nipping at polyps

    I must say that when I purchased a Blue Velvet Damsel, my better judgement was clouded by the fish's beauty. I have since come to my senses and have removed the "beast" from my tank and have given it to a friend who may not be my friend for much longer if I continue to give him fish like that...

    Live Rock

    Be prepared to rinse, rinse and then rinse some more. I rinsed my sand for 3 hours...put it in the tank, poured LS on top.....crystal clear in about an hour. I made the switch from CC, it was a major pain in the butt, but I definately like the look better than CC. The biological benefit is...

    Gas Cans

    Is'nt it ironic that some people are so cheap that they "buy" and return the gas cans to save what amounts to nothing when you consider the amounts of money this hobby takes? Heck, the cost of 5 or 10 gas cans is less than half the cost of a bucket of salt.
