  1. Fishroom Vent Fan

    To keep humidity levels down in the fishroom, it's important to have a vent fan that exports moist air out of the home. With my last tank, humidity was a factor but once the vent was installed, a marked improvement occurred. During the remodeling project, I tried to clean up the old fan but it had shorted out, leaving a dead motor in its wake.

  2. Black Silicone on my Oceanic Ultimate RR tank

I've also read pros and cons for black silicone and clear. Is one better then the other?

  3. Starfish Question

    Has anyone ever cut their starfish to create more starfish? I have a serpent starin my 75 gallon and I'm about to move everything over to a 180 bowfront. I don't know if I could actually bring myself to "cutting" my starfish (on purpose), but the money-saving idea came to me since I know that Echinoderms have regenerative capabilities. Just wondering if anybody had tried, or considered this method of obtaining more starfish for your tank.
