I was curious if anyone has ever ordered off live aquaria. If so, did you have luck? I was debating on ordering fish from the site.

So here is my tank build for my 10 gallon. I have 15 pounds of live rock with a wave maker and HOB filter. The substrate is sand. I also have a 20w LED white light. I have test kits for phosphate, ammonia, ph, nitrate, and nitrite. I have a refractor as well. I have 2 five gallon buckets...

I went to a locally owned saltwater store today. I have a 5 gallon bucket of RO water. The owner told me if I were to mix salt in there and make that water saltwater the water could sit in a closest since the bucket has a top that closes and seals. I could open the bucket and use the water as I...

I have a thirty gallon I want to convert to saltwater. I wouldn't do corals in a 5 gallo since its so small.

I want to do corals, but how many watts does my light need to be for basic corals?

45 Pounds of Fiji Foundation rock going to be the right amount? I am going to have to clean the filters. There is green algae on them.

So, I am going to convert my 30 gallon freshwater aquarium to saltwater aquarium. Currently I have two filters on it: One filter is for 55 gallons and another is for 20 gallons. I would think that would be enough filtration? I was looking on live aquia and I am debating on ordering...

I have just small community saltwater fish and hermit crabs. The shrimp is quite active. I really do like the fire shrimp, but they are pricey!

I added a peppermint shrimp today. Do I need to do anything special for it! I hear they are pretty hardy!

I am looking to buy a refractor and saw this one. Amazon.com: Salinity Refractometer, Aquarium & Seawater - Dual Scale (1.0 to 1.070 S.G.) by Agriculture Solutions: Pet Supplies I was wondering if this seems like a good one? Any help on helping find an accurate refractor would be appreciated!

When I measured my salinity, they were in the hydrometer l. Little things moving around. Thy are near the tope of the water.

In my tank today, I noticed some small organisms in my tank swimming around, and I was wondering what they are?

I see you seem to like exotic stuff that normal people don't have in their aquarium, A clay fish is pretty cool thing to have. I have him in my 29 gallon, and he is pretty active. Be careful if you go that route though. They will eat smaller fish!

Once I do get a house, I do want a 55 gallon saltwater aquarium. 55 gallon would be a lot easier to keep all levels decent. The saltwater store near me has a 520 gallon saltwater and it is so pretty!

Yea I do. I just want to do something simple with saltwater. Start off small, and if I like it I will get a bigger tank! As for a ten gallon, would could one put in there compared to a five gallon?
