I am a stay at home dad of 3 small children pateince is my middle name...
Also looking for good LFS in Portland Oregon area...
Went to my closest and got some good ideas and another book too.
Pretty sure I am going to do a refug seems like another safety measure
would like to do things for the best interest of the fish and other creatures.
Definately doing the live sand and rock too...
I have read that it is a good idea to leave the undergravel plate in place for the sand creatures is this true???? I know I am not supposed to run the ug/filter but I could leave the plates down under the sand. Anyone actually do this or should I just pull them?
Thanks for the help,
Cheers,
evan
