    My first saltwater tank

    sometimes an used RO/DI unit is not the best option. You'll need to get new filters and membrane for it. All these together probably cost as much for a new unit. I got my new RO unit on Ebay

    I had frontosa for many yrs, my adult mbunas did well with my frontosas. I just make sure the mbunas are not larger than my frontosa, and second, I'd keep the mbuna fry and juvies away from larger fronts. Frontosa prefer ph of 8.2-8.6. Loaches handles lower ph in the 7 range, however I had...

    Found an easier way cleaning off brown algea on saltwater!

    made of some rough foam. got mine at albertson's. I would trust that magic eraser than the scrub pad, sand traps inside the scrub pads easier and strach the acrylic.
