Steve has provided sound advice as always - especially with respect to the salt mix testing. He makes an excellent point about the ease of...
Took my tank several months. Keeping you calc, mag, and alk up will speed up the process... can you post a pic of what you are scraping? Corailline...
OK if you are leaving the airline tubing in the "u-tube" - you need to take it out ASAP. The most important things to remember with these overflows...
Hey great job!!! I thought I was seeing double with all those pairs groups!!!! Nice to have the space for a PAIR of Sailfins!!!
