    I don't want to know everything

    I'm hear you Paul. So I took my freshwater break because I just wanted to watch fish swim and have a good time. I missed my little ocean but didn't feel the need to push the envelope any more. So now I'm back with soft corals and cheap colorful fish, using IO salt, no test kits, frequent...

    I am Considering coming back

    Welcome back! It can bee done but keep the bio load low. I ran a 46 bow with a Fluval canister filter. I would have more easy softies and less fish. Keeping up with water changes will be key.

    blange3's 180 upgrade

    So what has happened in a week?:indecisiveness: I'm in love with wave mode on the Jebao. As the new fish were getting settled they weren't eating aggressively. The wave keeps food suspended in the water column for hours. Got a basic cleanup crew. A large top crown snail who is a demon who...
