So my wife, who's very artistic, and myself who loves legos are thinking about doing some lego mosaics of popular fish and coral. Do you folks think we'd be able to sell them? They are pretty cool when finished. Only problem is they take forever to make and are kind of expensive.

So i decided to build a large plywood tank. I have already started the build and you can check it out on my site. It's probably going to be Cichlids, but that's not set in stone yet. http://floodingthecarpet.com/plywood-tank-build/

After having problems with algae for a while I stumbled upon some information about using hydrogen peroxide as a tool to help eliminate it. I thought that I should write up a nice post as a guide and to share my experience. Hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) is basically water with an extra oxygen atom...
