    From a 80 gal to a 20 gal

    I've recently moved from a 80 gal to a 20 gal. What a world of difference! No more algae problems, fish are happier and it even looks like a little Sea World of it's own with alot of color and activity going on. Here are some pics, hope you enjoy them. It has been up and running now for a week.

All the water changes are done on time. Everything is happy (even the algae). Now this has been going on for about 2 months now and...

    Rain Water

    I was standing outside today enjoy a nice little Rain Shower and a idea came across. Is it possible to use rain water in a Salt Water tank? I thought maybe with all the nutrients that rain has it would be ok. Just a thought!!!!!! Thanks

    I have a situation in my tank. First I got the cyano junk then I got the really brown slimy algae all over everything. That is starting to clear up. Treated the cyano and it's all gone but for a few tiny spots. Now my nitrites went up and phosphates also. In the middle of controlling that. Now...
