Many aluminum windows will sweat when it is cold enough outside and warm enough inside. Really can't guarantee that a dehumidifier would actually help a lot, and it might make it seem more...

Looked back at my log from when I put my unit in. My tank was reading around 40 on Nitrate when I installed it. The unit took about 7 days to hit 20 on the effluent, and another 5 days after that...

Travis, too much slime is an understatement! When I cut pom pom xenia, it's like little slimy snot balls when you fish them out of the tank. And since I hate to handle the slimy little boogers, I...

Well, seems pretty consistent now, the mandarin has really learned to "hunt" pellet food. He's learning more every day as to where they fall in the current and heads over at feeding time. Haven't...

Good idea, next time I'm at the grocery store I'll take a look around and I'm sure I can find something. I'd guess that a jar that is around 1 1/2 to 2 inches would be good, large enough to allow him...

Wow, can't wait, that's a really nice looking colony. I am giving it a nice central area with a lot of room to grow, and hope to keep it happy and growing.

The tips and parts of the main branches are baby blue, and the base and some other areas are more dark green/brownish. It may need even more light than my tank can give, though it's still growing...

Oddballs is just a little west of Sheridan on 31st, on the north side of 31st. Heading north on Sheridan, turn left at 31st, and look for them on the right side of the road down a few hundred yards.
