Everyday I visit this site!!! The one thing that I enjoy most is clicking on the posts that have attachments of people's tanks and commenting on them! It seems that everytime that I do this I see something new that I have never seen before. I guess what I am getting to is that in my 8 years of...

Anyone out there from southern Ontario that could tell me a LFS that carries emerald crabs. I have some bubble algae that I want to get cleaned up and I would lie to try them out. Everywhere that I have seen does not have them.
