    Last night my son informed me that he needs a 'Cleaner Q'. I asked him what a 'Cleaner Q' was. "You know Dad, snails and shrimps and stuff". As of today 'Red Interested' has a freshwater CuC (or CQ). A tiger nassarius named 'Cleanup 1' and a ghost shrimp named 'Cleanup 2'.

    Starting over

    Same boat last year. Just about gave my entire 90g system away. Good call on the softie move. I've been running skimmer and floss. No dosing, no monitoring, no reactor, no computer. With a 10% change every 2 weeks everything is doing great. Good luck.

    Going to try and take better pictures

    Been trying to use my phone and my Canon. Unfortunately they are both under 5 years old and are computerized, so I do not have the option of taking a RAW photo. Though there is a set of phone filters that supposedly mimics the effect by filtering out the low end blues... Amazon.com: Zomei iPhone...

    Aquarium Depot (online) (-)

    You get a substantial amount of larger amphipods (and assume some copepods). Problem is they come in filter floss, semi-dirty, so you have to dig a ton of them out. As you're pulling floss apart the things are crawling up your arms and jumping onto the counter. When they do their $19.95 deal or...

    Light Alternatives for 12 gal JBJ Nano Cube

    I had those connect-a-light things, they were good but much more underpowered than I thought. I bought 3 where I probably should have bought 5 or 6. The other concern I had was that mounting was a pia. For my 10g IM I use the stock Skyye light supplemented with this - a Mingdak light. If you...

    Ruth, I'm confused. After this research, which ended up costing me $150, after confirmation of bad practices including the inability to cancel an order, and after your own response stating you received a completely dead order on your last order... you've just ordered from them again?
