why do so many have the same oil print in their homes? ?

Also the scale doesn't do it justice. Every time I see someones big tank I keep thinking "that's not xxx gals, looks smaller" :D

Congrats on the score!
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

Nice! Needs some green in there.

I've got my pPrple tang FS. So a guy on Craigslist contacted me & said he's definitely coming for the tang on Sat. I told him he better be serious because he's really difficult to catch & won't be happy in my 20g fuge. I starved the reef tank for 3 days & caught him in 10 minutes in the fish trap. I emailed the guy right away & told him to call me. Nothing... Called him 5x yesterday & he never answered his phone. :rant:

Well all the tanks got a small water change except the puffers, who arent due yet. But their water is like crystal right now... and the hair algae on the log looks like long grass :D. My panda platy had 12 babies and my oldest male guppy is looking ill so I had to seperate and medicate. Swimming erratically. The breeder tank however, ...Ive had a recoccuring algae bloom in and since its only a 10 gal., it was getting bad pretty quick. Caught all the ghost shrimps and the baby guppies and emptied the tank completely, did a little scrub and vacuuming and cleaned the filter. Refilled, added StartRight and some StressCoat and put the plants back. Got a great growth of Java Moss in there, the snails and shrimps love it. Squeezed out the sponge filter and rinsed it. Popped it all back together and acclimitized everybody... clean water and happy shrimps! Gave a jumbo shrimp to the cichlids. They act more and more like pirahnas.

You're really wasting your $$$ with the StartRight and StressCoat. Both garbage in a bottle & do nothing for your fish or system. Just sick with WC & Prime.
