  1. dendro

    Ok, so we've had this dendro for about a year. We LOVE him! He is sticky, always hungry, and always open. I've been considering fragging him because friends would love a head or two, it'd be easier to feed, and the poor guy is in a small tank. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had thoughts, comments, opinions, or tips towards fragging him. All input is very welcome!

  3. Equipment Recommendation

    I am in the process of setting up an in-wall 125 gallon mixed reef and would like to ask for some recommendations on which return pump and skimmer would be best. The desplay tank will have two 1 1/2 inch drains and I am building a 40 gallon sump. I appricate any input.
