Wow. That was a great news report. I want that guy's job (when I retire from the Government).
I never could get my nitrates below 20ppm, probably because I was stingy with my water changes. Once my nitrates spiked at 80ppm, I knew I had to do...
Ginny, I couldn't find the article on the page you linked to.
Red slime algae is also know as cyanobacteria, blue-green algae, and a couple of other names that I've forgotten. It is in the Kingdom Monera, not...
No, it would not. You need to grow colonies of bacteria on the sand, rocks, etc. 10 gallons of water from your old tank won't do the trick. Until...
I had a lionfish 20 years ago. He was very easy to take care of (but I would not put him with fish that are smaller than the Lionfish's mouth). I...

Matt, Hope you're feeling better. Heal quickly! -- Steve
What?! Nobody thought my first comment was funny?
Thank you, Walter, for your prompt and clear reply. I think I'm going to go with the Compact!
He's a gimp for life. What a LOSER! He'll be mocked by hermit crabs throughout North America! Seriously... his claw will grow back when he...
I'll answer the second question first: Please forgive me if I'm too simplistic, but it's late and I'm not going write a master's thesis here, and you...
I'm not small, my fishtank is. I have one 45 gallon tank, so my water needs are small, except for when I'm doing large water changes. Generally,...
I've had a BCS for a year now, named Jaques. Yes, he's somewhat aggressive toward the smaller fish, but I've seen him try to clean my larger fish who...
