Good to hear, goingpoor! The thing that shyed me away from them is when PromiseTBG tried one and failed. She is, IMO, one of the best reek keepers on this board, and if she can't keep it, I don't want to try, lol.

Unfortunatley a lot of lfs will just tell you what will make THEM the most money. Tang goes in a 20 gallon, few months later it dies, guess what, you have to go back to replace it. It's a sad fact, but true. So be sure to do your own research with books, here, other on-line resources, then you will make an informed decision. My lfs guy is always surprised on how much I know (though I have a ton more to learn) even though I just started my tank. He's always saying, "Wow, you've done your homework." So far my lfs hasn't tried to pull the wool over my eyes, I guess they figure I'd call them on it.
