    Need your opinions on glass covers

    NO ! Keep the bacardi but switch to an oat based ceral instead of corn ! I posted because after getting my eel I put those plastic strips on the back edge of my glass top to prevent an escape. I had been adding about a gallon of top off water every 2 days for a year and now I add 1 gallon a...

    My First Fish!!! Finally

    How did you cycle your tank? Give them time. I don't know how it would work out but I always thought it would be cool to have an all damsel tank. No lack of action:happyfish

    Does a refugium help with water quality?

    I go both ways. I mean I can go both ways. No. What I mean is I can't believe the stanky stuff a skimmer gets out. It has to do good. Also I 'believe' a fuge w/ plants does help.

    Blood Red Fire

    I have fire, peps, cleaner and cbs I got the peps for aptaisa and if not for that I would do without . Fire shrimp look best but I rarely see mine. The coral banded, although getting a bad rap, is by far the most active and largest. It has never caused a problem, yet!
