    Need help identifying this coral

    Yeah, I'm with Tom. I'm not a big fan of fresh water dipping anything that belongs in SW. Especially not a fleshy coral like a frogspawn. Sorry.

    Water Storage

    If you use a trash can that ISN'T food grade you run the risk of them having pesticides, algicides, anti-fungal... who the heck knows WHAT "protecting" them from the stuff that eats your garbage. If you're going to use a garbage can ensure that it is food grade. There's a reason for that rating!

    advice on an angel

    We have a bellus pair with a clam. So far they have no interest in it. The clam is opened way up and looking healthy and happy as a clam. They are a great pair of fish. Trop has a beautiful pair in store now.

    Cycling tank with Mollies

    I wouldn't cycle with a live fish. That just seems cruel to me. Especially if you didn't have a long term desire to keep and care for the fish.

    algae problem

    Hush! Don't you talk like that you'll scare the prospective hosts away!

    Low pH is killing me

    And how do we know... Dunno, Rich! You'd think something would have had to have changed. Are the kids home less? The dogs going in and out less? Maybe with just you and Dana home for the most part you're using the doors less and the house is more closed up than last year? Maybe your probe was...
