    the tank is full of sponges and feather dusters are growing like weeds....I also have a bunch of hermit crabs and snails and like 4 heads of aptaisia that ned tending to when I set it up I only had one head...so the inverts arent struggling at all wich should mean the paramiters are good right???

I used to have a spotted puffer back in high...

    I am going to KILL my porcupine puffer...

    I have never been so angry with a fish in my life...I swear he is the village idiot. I cant seem to get him to eat anything even if it is right in front of his face... I have tried clams mussels krill and silversides and he is not interested at all. I swear I wish he would just die of starvation...
