  3. Is my Monti Doomed?

    I took a medium size rock that my purple Monti cap was on, and cut off the area the monti cap was on and moved the monti cap to a higher lighting, and flow area.

    Anyone here ever cover their tank for a couple of days, without any lights on? I have read the benefits can be an extra clean tank with sparkling water almost better than a water change(appearance wise). I covered mine up last night, and have the lights off today. If anyone is curious I can...

  9. Can this be done??

    Is it possible to add an extra baffle to my fuge without draining? I do not want to take it out from under the tank. When I put it under I had to cut a hole in my wall to fit. I do not want to remove it. I need the extra baffle to cut back on flow, and reduce some micro bubbles. Any ideas...

    I have my pink pulsating xenia that is growing like a weed. I dont want it to get out of control so was wondering if i can slice it with a razor blade without any ill effects to the tank?
