It's also worth mentioning that you can add a week's worth of ferts at one time and cut way back on algae blooms in high-tech tanks. I didn't fertilize once and came back to a hair algae ball that...

I'll go ahead and say it- multiple tanks, unless done correctly and you happen to live in 4,000+ square feet is ugly. It just is. Additionally, folks with multiple tank syndrome tend to collect...

I'm in my mid 30's and I still use the clock radio that I received when I was seven.

Two things seem to kill fish more than anything else, CO2 aside-

Hatchets are cool fish and get pretty big, actually. They're great jumpers. Your stocking list looks okay, but I would choose between the bleeding hearts and the cardinals and bump up the number of...
