    mantis Q

    The only thing I would watch out for is that your tank is glass. I wanted a peacock for a long time but kept being advised against it because I have a glass tank. They say if your peacock gets mad or misses something it is trying to hit and connects with the glass that it can shatter your...

    what to do with a 24 gallon nano

    I need some ideas...... I switched my reef to a bigger 95 gallon tank but i still have my 24 set up and running. I dont want to just leave it as a quarintine or something, i wanna do something unique with it. Maybe one really cool fish that lives by itself, or an invert....i dunno i cant...
