This makes me wonder just how common it is for people to "do saltwater" for years, then life becomes too busy and they have...

    Set mine up... Only took 3 days :/. The light mount is pathetic. I ended up having to use an o ring instead of what they gave me and slide some tubing in between the mount and light to get it where I wanted.... Apart from that, the light is easily the best I've owned, which doesn't say much...

    What are the reasons why my salinity is through the roof? I mixed up the water/salt solution exactly to the specs of the bag directions for my pico tank, and have been aerating it in my barrel. My salinity will not at all stabilize even through water changes, evaporation, topoff, and etc. My...

    I was emailing my dad, rablett, about using bio pellets on his tank and giving him a run down of the research I have done on them. He mentioned I should post it here so thats what Ill do. Might be good to have an open discussion about people's experience with pellets as they dont seem to be...
