    First SW stuff.

    After my cycle I added a lawnmower blenny, 6 nassarius snails, and 6 zebra hermit crabs. The lawnmower blenny is doing great and his color is pretty nice. Much better than I expected. He's finally exploring a lot more and eating a ton of algae. Well... here is a pic of the blenny and one of the...

    Dosing ammonia for cycle... bad?

    I was just wondering if dosing with pure ammonia would be better than the shrimp or maybe the shrimp is better because it dissolves and breaks down slower? What would really be better? Any benefits of either?

    Helping a friend...

    I've got a friend that's going to get a 30 gallon. I suggested a visitherm 250w heater, aquaclear 70/300 filter... and other things. I was just wondering if since I used 2 boxes of 110/500 BioMAX biological media for my tank that maybe I could switch out one of my bags of biomax with the bag...

    Kent Deion200-r

    Does anyone know much about this? Someone said it creates no waste water and its one of the purest filters out right now. I think it's worth the extra $100 over ebay price, unless they had one on ebay. Does anyone else have one of these? heres a link...

So, any names of paints or whatever you...

    120 gallon oceanic reef ready?

    Is $450 for a used Oceanic 120 gallon Reef Ready tank too much? It's an older model... he said before All-Glass bought Oceanic? It seems like a good deal to me. A man who used to have an aquarium shop just recently closed his store and he has a lot of used tanks and new tanks for sale. I think...
