Just curious and I know that it has to be posted on the board somewhere. I bought a pound of it the other day for my 12 gallon and know that that is WAY too little for a tank my size... Is there a general rule of thumb? Like 1lb live rock for every gallon? Thanks! RBEK

OK I am puzzled. I just tested my water and my Nitrate is at 40 and Nitrite at 3. Back on 3/18 I tested the water and this levels were the same which prompted me to change about 20% of the water. Is it normal for a new aquarium to have high levels like this? It just shocks me that the levels...

Hi All, First post here and hoping I can get some info on my nano-aquarium. I bought the Marineland 12G Eclipse marine system, got it setup and such. So far all is well I have two small red leg hermit crabs (I think that is their name) for a starting cleanup crew, a yellow tail damsel, and...
