I just looked out the window and saw a dump truck full of salt drive by, spreading salt all over the road. If the City can dump that much salt to melt ice, our bit of salt water should not make much...

It is an issue of quality, of course, but also a question of the mass retail market's environmental impact. Does the average fish at Petco mean that 10 or more others died on the way? Is that higher...

My FO grows a dark red, almost maroon algae and a dark green. For my tank, this is normal when things are going well. I take it as a sign that things are normal.

I would think that in the case of an emergercy, drinking all sorts of things is better than nothing at all. Dehydration is worse than the risks of RO/DI.

Is crill a brand or a type of food?
