    Manzanita wood shipment to the UK: where to ship it to

    214 U.S. dollars = 129.532111 British pounds If there are about 10 members (at a guess, im sure there may be more) divide that, it means that we pay £12.90 + courier charges which may be about £9-£12. So, overall, I dont think its too expensive considering the quantity we will get when we...

    My tank is naf, what to do?

    Hi, thanks for the advice guys with concerns to pressurized co2 would this fit the bill- http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/show ... p?t=302447 It seems a reasonable price for a pressurized system. If i added a 700lph tetra tec filter external, would this be enough flow around the tank? it...

I think i have overstocked compared to peoples understocking. And, why do people keep only 1-4 species of fish? Ive...
