    tank overrun by Majanos

    My main tank has become overrun by Majanos. I've used and used Joe's juice and the Majano wand, but those buggers keep coming back with more and more each time. The Majano bases are in small holes in rock, so when I use the wand they just shrink up into the hole and I can't get at them. They...

All the mushrooms and...

    looking to buy a new tank stand

    My new 120 gal tank from glasscages just arrived, but I ran into an issue. I had planned on reusing my old stand made by Oceanic, but my new tank has an internal overflow. To put in the 1 1/2" bulkhead I would need to cut almost 2" out of the 2"x4" that runs across the back of the stand, thus...
