    Dwarf/Fuzzy lionfish compatibility

I do plan on keeping snails, hermits, emerald crab, and cleaner shrimp. my question is this, will the lion fish eat anyof these or any other fish? how large do fish have to be not to get eaten? I know this might...

    Biopellets: my (VERY SHORT) experience

    you might be right, biopellets can reduce o2 levels. but boipellet reactors, especially the cheap one are very tweeky and if you aren't careful can also strip nitrates and phosphates. I mean like less than 0.0005ppm in a matter of days or even hours causing a total tank crash because fish, coral...

    what are these?

    I would get a biopellet reactor. after the colony is active(3-7 days) the nitrate and phosphate should drop massively. unless u want to change water for the next 6 months this is a good way to go to get u back up fast. the only problem with them is that they r actually too efficient and will...

    LED fixture opinions

    Both are cheaper Chinese builds. The metal cases are not powder coated so they will rust, salt creep will get into the electronics because the housing isn't tight causing lost of longevity and most important, THEY ARE NOT GROUNDED AND WILL SEND 120v UP YOUR ARM. If your hand happens to be in the...
