My cousin (by marriage) wants to buy her dad a clown fish and a seahorse so he can set his tank up as marine. She asked me about it and I told her not to but wanted to check with everyone about this. I am into planted tanks and have never done s/w so am not totally sure. The LFS guy told her...

Hi all, As some of you would know I have moved house and was supposed to have moved my tank about a month ago - I haven't had time yet (Have a three month old, makes it tricky!) which has turned out to be a really good thing, I have done a lot of redesign for my tank and have learnt HEAPS from...
