    Tunze wave box? Yes or No

    I feel like they do a better job of dislodging detritus than a pulsing wave pump with a jabo or MP. I may just be the few people I have seen using them are just experts at designing their aquarium flow. If you can afford the aquarium space, go for it.

    BOLUS vs. Calcium Hydroxide

    I thought the reason I went away from the bolus was that 1 affordable dosing pumps, 2 smaller doses of kh through the night was supposed to decrease the amount of trace elements precipitated. I originally went away from kalk because the precipitation would cause pumps to lock up. But with better...

    100g+ Tank stand w/ wheels?

    Thoughts on saltwater mollies in a reef tank?

    I used them for the opposite reason. To cycle with a fish that could not possibly have saltwater disease. Start with a 5 gallon bucket full of freshwater, a heater, and a small pump/air stone.

    Can a fish be too fat?

    Mine is the same. Big bloated stomach. I have some other blenny that is also displays the bloated gut. They kind of scare me at times as they breath real heavy like they have ich. When they swim they breath normal but when they are just perched on top of their gigantic bellies they huff and puff.
