MASS Aquariums hi are you the guy that named Rico's aquarium Goldie that is some hilarious stuff I agree with you that's what I'm going to call him Goldie he's got that Ghetto Gold tooth on one of his front teeth LOL now if we could only get Rico to take his hat off and show his baldilocks head that would be awesome don't you think LOL LOL

Hi in my opinion we stay away from Rico's Aquarium he's nothing but an animal killer he does the pop and drop method no quarantine he's already killed three Achilles tanks does it mean know when enough is enough Achilles tang there. For experienced hobbyist only tell him to knock it off not killing anymore animals do to not quarantining we already reported him to the Tang police that's probably why his first channel got shut down he was gambling and selling woman's clothing and having drunk live streams

wendy Stratford wow!!! Are you being serious!! If you don’t like Rico’s methods stop following him unsubscribe block him. Why are you making it seem like he’s intentionally killing these fish your painting him to be a bad guy. Don’t act like you have never had a fish or two die on you. Like I said if you don’t like the method or content LEAVE!! Or are you just sticking around to keep reporting him!! People like you are killing the hobby!!!

Nice, definitely. People end up with dual sumps for many reasons but a bulkhead will only make one side leak proof. The second gasket will require silicon or the water will seep through the threads. There are cheap Rubber Couplings that will connect sumps.

I wanna have a foot or so on each end for the fish to swim around so I"m thinking of going with two Aquatic Life T5 hybrids with 2 Kessil AP700s and I can add a 3rd if we need to bump it up.
