    Well I think that I've had some of my clean up crew die off and I'm in need of some additions. Right now I have some blue legged hermits, nass. snails? (they bury themselves and have a long trunk thing), and a few bumblebee snails. I think i'm going to add some more hermits, and was wondering...

    I noticed it a little yesterday and ALOT today. My house is smelling HORRIBLE. It smells like a real bad day at the beach. I have no dead or missing fishes, and everything looks ok. A few days ago my water was fairly cloudy but it has cleared up. Does anyone know what could be causing this...

    Oh man.....Nassarius snails are the coolest things ever! I got my cleaner package from etropicals.com and I had ordered 10 nassarius snails with it. They had all burrowed into the sand and as soon as I fed the tank they all came shooting out to feed. I had read about it but I didn't expect...

    I just got the lights last nigh, they're bright enough to light my entire room up! It's a 65 watt pc retro, and the lamp fits exactly over the top of my tank. I put in about 10 lbs of base rock, 2 pounds of LR. I don't know how to describe it, but my completely dried out completely dead BR...
