    Reef lighting for tall 20 gallon tank

    I have a tall 20 gallon tank with a Aquatic Life lighting system. I just replaces all the bulbs but my corals don't seem to thrive and the lights cause the tank temp to fluctuate. Would upgrading to a Nano LED lighting system make a material difference? Given they are almost $400 I wanted to...

    Quarantine tank

    What is the smallest size quarantine tank you can have for SW fish. My big tank is forty gallons so I don't have any really large fish. I live in a 600 square door apartment so I don't have lots of extra space.

    Magazine

    What is the best salt water fish aquarium magazine you can subscribe to? I only have a 40 gallon tank so one that only focuses on larger tanks is less of interest. Thanks
