    What is this?

    Can anyone ID the attached? Is it a sponge? When I first saw it.. it was about 1/8" of an inch.. now it's about 1 1/2" big. Should I extract it from my tank? It's localized in one spot... does not move. Has some holes on it.. so it looks it's fitlering water, but the openings don't move.

    Bangii Cardinals

Is it for protection or out of fear or are they truly hosting my...

    Upgrading 75 Gallon to 200 Gallon... good idea or bad?

    Depending on if I get the approval from the bride to make holes in the wall behind the tank to run the plumbing down to the basement. Otherwise, and most likely, it will be under the tank setup via a sump/refugium. I am assuming I would need atleast a 40/50 gal sump and go with a in sump setup...

    I started out with T5 and loved them. Currently, use LED; however, I prefer the full light coverage of the T5. I feel like LED are too centered to where you place them... I have wide angle lense on them, but even then... to get the same light coverage as the T5 I feel like I would have to have...
