Well I recently started doing some remodeling in my apartment and I thought that I would start undertaking some major upgrades to my aquarium. My life is extremely hectic with work and my family so I am investing some time in getting my aquarium into the most functional automatic state possible so I can enjoy it rather than neglect it due to other time consuming tasks. That being said I wanted to keep a thread in regards to my trials and tribulations in hopes to share my experience with everyone ...

I received my Avast Marine Works K1 "You Build" Kalkwasser Stirrer today and it definitely has more pieces than the Avast Marine Works MR5 "You Build" Media Reactor which meant more fun!

Well as the title says I am looking for recommendations on what product to use to seed my display aquarium with Copepods, Amphipods or both. I had an aquarium a long time ago where the live rock I ordered allowed thousands of these little guys to reproduce and my fish and hermit crabs couldn't be happier. I would like to achieve the same since I have no sump or refugium in my display before I start heavily stocking with fish. Any thoughts?
