    Also switched my lights to my old Kessils honestly it looks so amazing I put it on blue and the color pops!! I wish I did it sooner, unfortunately one of my lights blue died if anyone has an extra A360we tuna or spectra controller I might be open to trade or buy it as well, thanks!

    Bigfish's swim into the sea - a tank journal

    I was feeding frozen but with my son and busy life at the moment I switched to pellets and an automatic feeder which has been really nice (saved me when I had to go on a cruise for a week) and easy. I do manually feed some Nori for my tangs every so often. I think I need to look into how long I...

    Hello I was wondering if anyone is willing to come out and help me with my tank, I feel like I have been slacking a bit and have not been doing it the justice it deserves. I never really got to learn about dosing, and think a lot of my parameters are out of wack. My Chaeto isn't growing the way...
