    if anyone lives in Vegas...

    Green Valley Aquariums is sadly going out of business. I don't know what we will do, as this was our favorite LFS. But they are selling off their stock, fish, tanks, furniture, and accessories for as little as 30% off. Just an FYI

    when we started our tank, not too long ago, you folks may recall a post about an abalone hitch hiker. Unfortunately, the abalone died last month. I found him upside down at the back of the tank, being eaten by a bristleworm. We had seen the worm before, but after mixed opinions on the...

    LR question

    Hey everyone! We bought a large piece of LR, and put it in the tank.....I was sitting there one day, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw small bits of rock just falling to the bottom. The rock is basically disintegrating all the time. Even more so, when there is a powerhead blowing...
