I can't leave a review because it says no apersand, single or double quote characters and I don't believe I did leave any. Mike

Cool map. I am unable to leave a review though, there are too many restrictions. Mike

Yeah do not overfeed! Best to underfeed. Also, keep the house temps down so the tank doesn't get too hot, it's important to keep the temps steady at 78. Mike

Are there white spots where the coraline used to be? My tank is showing the same thing and it's about the same age as yours. Could something be eating it? I have several quarter inch limpets in my tank. Could that do it? Thanks, Mike

I double checked my profile and it has the correct email address. Could it be because I am using a Macintosh? There's an RC forum I frequent that appears to use the same program this site does and I get replies from that site. Mike

Actually my dad took it. He is the expert. We used a Nikon D100 SLR camera mounted on a tripod with a 105mm macro lens and three extension tubes to magnify the object. Then tried different F-stops to find the one that worked best. After that, the picture was cropped in Photoshop and also the...

I second the above comment(s). Mine only cost $60 though and it is a high quality one. Mike

Argonite is a type of sand that uses crushed coral I believe. Live sand is sand with living things in it, like bacteria, bristle worms, and other creatures. If you don't buy live sand, it will become live eventually as your tank matures. The life in the sand helps filter the water. Buying 'live'...
