    Another UV posting sorry

    Im beating myself up over "To be UV or not to UV". Is it worth spending $200 on a corallife Turbo Twist 3x or would a $70 Mean green UV machine from petsmart take care of them? I read post and page after page. Posts show 50% saying they are a wast of money. And 50% saying they would not have...

    Red Terror petty concern

    Really?!?! I had no idea. I thought it had to do with monitoring the fry and/or because of feeding them in such a large tank for fry. Wow thanks guys. Decorations are going in today. I wish I had access to driftwood. All I got are rocks. But ill take care of them today. Thanks ya'll

    Red Terror petty concern

    After taking this picture I added a large lava rock to the center of the tank and the round air bubble disk. As you can see. I dont have buck in the tank. The guy I got the festae fry from said to keep everything out of it to make it easyer to keep my eye on the festae fry
