In my previous article I briefly went through my personal experience with bio-pellets over the last couple months. In that article I listed off the benefits to use said bio-pellets in our reef systems, and if I knew of any negative side effects at this point I would have listed those as well. Rather than talk about what bio-pellets can do for your tank, I would like to attempt to explain (from my layman's perspective, forgive me I'm not a scientist) how these pellets work and how they are able to ...

For the last two days I've been sick and my normal standing in front of the tank for hours has been reduced. I just fed the tank, cleaned the glass and went back to the couch.

Hello everyone I am new to this site. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Gina and I have a 183 gal cube tank. I recently had a battle with ich getting into my tank.

During the ich TX most of them died. Not sure what went wrong. After about 3 weeks in the QT just one by one the started to go. Eating ...
