Hi everyone!
This thread is not to discuss on, but to offer help to those who would like it. Because of this I have deleted all threads unrelated to the subject.

Thanks for understanding!

Things I can help people with.

Saltwater : 4 ( IDing corals, fish, and inverts. Have a SW question and I will probably be able to answer it.)

Planted Tanks : 3 ( Should be able to answer most questions)

Cichlids : 3 (Good with most dwarf cichlids.)
