Re: acclimating SPS corals safely
Wild corals get tossed by waves daily. A little tank transition ain't gonna kill 'em if your water's tight. Fight me.

Re: acclimating SPS corals safely
Drip acclimation's overrated for SPS. Float the bag to temp match, then straight into the tank. They handle it better than people think, just keep alk steady.

Re: what plants grow fast for cover?
I've had good luck with Water Wisteria. It roots easily and spreads fast if you trim and replant the cuttings. Just keep an eye on it or it'll take over.

Re: betta bloating issues after frozen bloodworm feedings
He's a total pig, but he's got the best personality. The flies are actually live, and my bettas and angels just can't get enough of them. I have to admit, I was a bit surprised when I found out they weren't always wingless - my cats knocked over a container once, and let's just say it was a bit of a ...

Re: betta bloating issues after frozen bloodworm feedings
My boy Pisces had a tough time eating for the past 10 days, he just wasn't feeling well. Now he's back to normal, but after feeding him live frozen bloodworms, I've noticed his belly is bloated. I do see tiny feces coming out, which is a good sign. The people at Petsmart told me I could cut the ...

Re: another one to deal with
Go for it, life's too short. I'm always browsing tanks and my dad's like, really, do we need another one? Reboot's a stunner, by the way.
thanks, reboot is quite the charmer really, that's why I picked him up - he's got a lot of personality. He interacts with people already, which is pretty ...

Re: another one to deal with
hmmmmm, I think I've got a problem. I've got 3 20L tanks split into thirds, a 10gal also divided into thirds, and now this new little guy's in a 5gal. And let's not forget the rest - a 55, 40, 2 30gal, and a 20hex. I'm shocked I'm still married, to be honest. I'm smallfry's hubby, aka Mr. Hyde.

another one to deal with
yup, just went to grab some groceries and ended up bringing home a new betta - I guess you could say I have a bit of a problem. The girl at the store was laughing and told me she has three, I just shook my head and said I'm on number 12 now. She had a good chuckle at that one. Anyway, the little guy ...
