    What will remove CO2? If you're referring to aerating the tank, then yes and no. Aerating will remove CO2 IF CO2 is being dosed into the tank, OR if there's enough fish that the CO2 produced is...

    I agree in the benefit of routine partial water changes to dilute pollution and maintain a healthy water chemistry. This is how nature renews fresh water with rain. I also wish to point out to any...

    Well... Still waiting on first fish since my LFS hasn't gotten Harlequins in his passed two shipments for some reason. He's not sure why his supplier hasn't had them. Been toying with the idea of...
