    Cycle tank with dead rock and dead sand

    My son purchased a 12 gallon tank, I gave him about 15 pounds of dead rock I had used a few years ago and also some dead sand. He has been cycling this tank for 3 weeks now.

    Attaching Toadstool Leather

    Thanks, I took a look at the link but could you clarify something? It looks like the rubber band is in the middle, looks like it is squishing it. Wouldn't this damage/hurt the leather?

    Need some skimmer assistance!

    I am in the market for a skimmer and really don't know much at all about them. I have a 90gal FOWLR and a 30gal refugium. I am looking at buying the Eshopps PSK-200. Does this just go in one of the compartments of the refugium? (That is what I am hoping) The reason I ask this is because...

    One more fish? What's your thoughts?

    Well I do appreciate all your inputs. We got a little off track there I noticed, but, I will call the LFS today and let them know I will not be getting the Angel. Getting a larger tank is out of the question (for right now), my wife says we need the money for bills. I will, however, continue...
