It's a lot of fun to source, test, and share all of the cool aquatic botanicals we offer. It's really fun to work with them ourselves!

Hi everyone, I am in the process of upgrading my fish room (18 tanks all ready in the garage) and since I am going to be doing L-number plecos in almost all of the tanks I think it would be very beneficial to have an RO system. My dilemma is that I do not have access to a constant water...
