Which is sort of a relief to me, since I know its not any of the other pests, but how do I kill this Monster! I have some CoralRX coming in soon, maybe I'll give it ...
For all of those who read my previous blog sorry, I guess I didnt explained my self well. What happened with my tank? Well I was in a job training and my wife wanted to get another dog.

I took off the ...
