^ Really good filtration for my tank! ~Matt

Good afternoon everyone!! As many of you know I am in the process of building my new salt water aquarium set up. I am currently in the Sump design process. I finally have my tank that will be used as the sump tank. It is a 55 gallon tank. It is 48 inches long, 13-1/2 inches "wide" and it is 19...

That is absolutely beautiful! Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing! :) ~Matt

Finally got the sump tank! (First off, sorry for double post. I try my best not to double post in forums, but it's time for another update!) Finally Got The Sump Tank! Well today was the day!! I finally got the tank that will be used as the sump tank in our setup! As I mentioned above we were...

^ Wow at the difference in those two photos! Your tank looks amazing!! Keep up the great work! ~Matt (p.s.) Congrats on getting published! :)

Time For An Update! So... I've learned that with any aquarium, especially a Saltwater Aquarium it's very important to get into a routine for water changes and such. Part of my routine that I am trying to work on is also getting into the habit of taking time to do (at least) weekly updates on...

Hey! Welcome to the forums!! You'll find this place REALLY helpful! I've gotten a lot of advice from others on here, and I have learned a lot just by reading through other peoples post! ~Matt

Hi! Welcome (back) to the forums!! I too would love to see some pictures of the tanks! (And of course the outdoor pond!!) :) ~Matt

I blame Petco for getting me hooked on this hobby! We have two cats that we have had since they were 8 weeks old, and they go with us every weekend to Petco. The way our Petco is set up... is as soon as you walk in the door BAM!!! There are all the Saltwater fish. Every single time we go to...

Beautiful! Great job! Keep up the good work! :)

TDS Meter's are very easy to come by online, and they are not to terribly expensive. However, an RO unit is by far the best way to go, I suggest getting an RO unit not only for your initial tank fill, but for all water changes, and top offs as well. When it comes to your tank the last thing you...

:eek: This is by far one of the most beautiful tanks I have seen on here! Thanks for sharing! Makes me hope that some day my tank will look just half as good as yours!! Keep up the great work! :)

Interesting question. I too am interested to know if anyone on here has any experience with raising Sea Horses. I wanted to put some in my tank so badly, but from what I have read they should not be put in a reef tank... Which instantly shot down my hopes of having any. Good luck, can't wait...

If it helps any this is what I just bought for our new reef tank. I did a lot of research before buying it, and I think it will work best for what I am wanting in the tank. The only thing is you need to rinse it about 5-10 times before putting it in the tank. I prefer the look of Aragonite over...

I really appreciate this thread. I am going through the same thing building a sump system right now. So it's nice to see the feedback that others have provide you, because a lot of it pertains to me as well!! If I were you I would HIGHLY consider building a stand. You can build a stand for a...
