Since the dog (or fish) cannot treat themselves it is our duty to do it.

I do not consider parasites to be anything like a cold or a virus. It is easy enough to treat for parasites and be done with it for good.

8 weeks of empty tank...kinda hard

And another 4-6weeks of quarantine when adding new fishes....harder

And from your post, I think you are not very fond of nanos

There are people, like me, who doesn't have the provision of keeping big tanks (in terms of money and space) and hence nanos are there and they are no big of a difference other than the limited stocking list.

And please don't attack me with the "money" thing because I once had someone attack me with "if you can't get a $50 refractometer, you are in the wrong hobby" because I believe there's more into this hobby than just money and that is dedication. BTW I do have a refrac now :P

this is kinda the opposite of what you said about not wanting to throw the money for a qt....if you believed there was more to it then money you would in fact have no prob ponying up the doh for it???



part of owning a nano tank is limiting your self to livestock, its playing the patience game , a nano idea is supposed to house a smaller version of a large ecosystem , not a large ecosystem crammed into a small nano, this creates alot of problems for less than 20g of water.


just pointing it out the money youve spent on fish and coral so far could have been a qt tank or even 2.


ps.....six lines are evil and its goig to be one of the worst purchases youve ever had .....all mine always have been

they do become too large for your size tank but thats at adult sizes
