Hi I finnally have my brine shrimp hatchery working. I feed the fish once a day with the shrimp. But I do not know how much to feed. Flake food is 30second rule. But live shrimp doesn't seem to work with that rule. Now I believe I'm feeding too much because I seem to be getting snails. Snails...

Hi. I had a discussion with my brother. He uses an air stone in his tanks during the day and shuts off after lights go off. He said it puts CO2 in the tank. I said oxygen. What is the correct answer. Thanks:cool:

Hi: I am thinking about using CO2 in my tanks. I watched many videos and I'm ready. The question I have is should I use an air stone with the CO2? Also can I hook up two tanks of of one regulator? I'm thinking The CO2 coming out of the bubble counter. Using a Y connector splitting the air to...
