What the hell is this crap????
Hi,
I think that is to help support the cost of running this site. It also seems that we have lost Reefpure as a sponsor.

I can't decide
Hi,
I think 3' is too short for full size tang. However, you could keep a small tang (2") and trade it for a small one every two years.
How about some clowns for starters ? Tomatoe clowns ?...

Hi,
