Fishtank The Game

And as much fun as it is to collect the coolest coral fragments out there and show them off to your friends, there WILL come a time when you are hauling all of those same frags out of the tank and into temporary storage when your six year old cracks the side of the display tank with a pool ball or some other calamity occurs.

2) Study! Spend time on the internet, in books and watching nature shows on reefs BEFORE you get your animals. Understand the anim

My favorite was the use of an emersion coil looped within an old chest-type soda vending machine. Be very careful of contamination if you choose to "build your own".

Modern units come in two formats, either with a chilled coil you immerse in your system, or an external exchanger with a transfer fluid that the systems water is re-circulated through.

We feel there is no reason to sell species that have a history of being difficult.

This practice is irresponsible and ignorant. It isnt fair to new aquarium hobbyist
