  1. Non Coral Dominated Systems

I would feed them live ghost shrimp, that I harvested at my boat dock and quarantined...

    So I am moving to a smaller apartment and was wondering if I should stick with the 75G, I have been satisfied with it but the flow wasnt to my liking and do not feel like getting another set of poowerheads to get the flow I want.
