Your algae will die off; at least, a decent portion of it, if not most of it. That's not really something to worry about, as bacteria should be able...
I would suggest red algaes, like grape kelp and gracilaria. They require less light than green algae, and do grow relatively quickly.
If school is starting in 3 weeks, coral may not be an option. It'll take longer than that to get the tank cycled. Then, it needs to mature a decent...
Well, silverside refers to a family that includes rainbowfishes. The ones fed to corals and SW fish are usually SW varieties, though. It's a big...
If you live in a dorm, that would be the biggest headache ever....especially when you have to move out in between every semester, and go to a new...
You might have those pressure problems when the washer is running, depending on the volume of water it's using. I'm guessing it'll be on and off...
Cleaner shrimp are generally fairly cheap, in the $15 to $25 range. Whether it's worth it depends on what you expect. If you expect it to do any...

Well, there's also the issue of the shrimp and goby hanging out, and the shrimp knowing when to use his claw and/or retreat back into the burrow.
You know, thinking about this again, possibly this is because you bought PC bulbs that were 34" instead of 48"? The assumption I made was T5. I don't...
Er, unless I'm missing something, your new 34 inch bulbs won't even fit in the fixture you have, if it needs 48 inch bulbs.
Agreed with this. Although, if you're going to clean the water, carbon is your friend, not macroalgaes.
I was pretty sure that the entire point of the shrimp/goby pairing was an issue of protection in exchange for eyesight.
Different places get different shipping rates.
A TDS meter is uberimportant. It lets you know how much stuff is still in the water and how much has been filtered out. That's important to know...
Pull it off, iodine dip them both, and check to see that there's no tears in their tissue.
