[Got some maroon babies I want try raising and I need a stater culture fast. Phyto too.]

[Do any of you keep snails in your fuge? Just wondering since that's where most of the waste winds up settling.]

[I need to get a pump for my calcium reactor and I'm just wondering what kind of flow do I need - if its not that much the via aqua 1200/1300 seems like it would do the job as well as the ehiem 1250? Thanks in advance.]
