    Blue hippo tang question

    I don't seem to have that problem with mine when I am in the front of the tank watching him, but when I feed him I feed him from the back of the tank, which is painted black since I built the tank into our bedroom wall, into a walk-in closet that was in our upstairs hallway.

    Blue hippo tang

They sold all of their stock and everything for the store except for the personal 75 gallon tank that they didn't sell anything out of when they owned the store. They called me at 7:00 am on a...

    Aquarium Safe Sealants?

    Sorry that I didn't see this thread yesterday, but I hope that you didn't buy that silicone that you were planning to buy. I too was looking at buying some sealer about a week and a half ago. I was at a local hardware store and I was looking at the GE stuff. I called the 800 number on the back...
