    Hard as a rock! anywhere between 250-350 on the tds meter. alot of it was the fact that it was an old tank, and I learned from a very experienced and wise mentor.

    LOL. nothing special, just different ways to do things. Not changing the water was one method. running a high nutrient system. VHO lighting. nothing fancy. no dsb. look up a guy named Tangster. he knows alot. many think he is just a senile old geezer, but trust me, he knows his stuff and is really good.

    Gexx, My son wants a lion fish so bad. he calls them zebra fish. so long as I get a small one, and dont get any fish that it can eat, I will be ok. but I like the small fish. I hope to do a school of anthias.
