I just wanted to blog this because I know there has always been a lot of discussion about the use of chemicals in a planted tank killing live plants. I did have a brown algae problem and I bought the product API AlgaeFix as it claims to work without killing the plants. I have to say the product is excellent. I only had to treat my aquarium once and within 3 days it cleared up although I started when I began seeing the algae. Never the less I wanted to give them a shot out because if you have…

I used to really enjoy doing different projects with the fish tanks. I was pleased to take in fish from others who needed assistance or to give a fish a home who needed one. But, the last year and a half has been rough, so my thoughts concerning my tanks has changed. I think I'd like to keep a set up without changing it and keep the tanks I have without taking on any projects.  I will let the tanks change naturally of course, but I'm not going to attempt anything…

I had a beautiful sail fin black molly in with my fish. That boy is big and beautiful but he's aggressive. I wanted so badly to keep him in there and cater to his likes and dislikes.

So I have been wanting to spread out my corals since I bought the nice center piece for my saltwateraquarium but I never had the time or confidence to do so. Well during my last water change I decided to just take some scissors to a couple of my soft corals and tear up some mushrooms and zoos. I have to say it was much easier than I thought!!! I might end up tearing apart all of the piece if everything attaches and does well on their rubble after a few weeks. With that being said I can start…
