Hello, I’m pretty new to saltwater fishkeeping, and definitely still learning, so any suggestions and/or constructive criticism is welcome. I started with a 15 gallon pico reef tank with a couple clowns and various inverts about 5 months ago I think, but quickly realized that was a nightmare...

Including the plastic rim, yes. I don’t have a measuring tape handy, but I think the actual tank itself is more like 20”-22”. Here’s a photo for reference

I'm extremely new to saltwater, and I'm having trouble figuring out my lighting situation. I bought a Coralife LED Clip-On Marine light today because it was literally the only marine light my local store had, got it home, set it up, and surprise, surprise, it's not all that bright. According to...

I just started my first saltwater nano tank after ~12 years of freshwater fishkeeping, and I got 20lbs CaribSea Arag-Alive Bahamas Oolite for my 15gal column tank, as well as a couple live rocks (getting more today, just didn’t wanna accidentally get too many to start as LFS doesn’t accept...

I decided to get a 20 gallon long tank and divide it into 4 equal sections of 5 gallons each to house my bettas instead of having 4 separate smaller tanks, but I’m running into an issue with filtration. I’m concerned that if I put a 20gal HOB, all the flow will go into 1-2 sections making those...

Hello, it's been a while since I posted on this site, but essentially I moved in February and when I did so, I upgraded my 40 breeder tank to a 65-gallon tropical community tank, and my 40 has been in storage for the last couple months, but I decided to take it out and set it up again. The...

(apologies in advance for the small novel, but I've got a lot to say/ask lol) I had this 5.5 gallon tank I was using for cherry shrimp, but I upgraded them to a 10 gallon with substrate specifically for plants and shrimp. The 5.5 was just chilling in my kitchen floor, so I decided to put it on...

Instead of cherries, do you think ghost shrimp would be better since they're cheaper and usually get a bit bigger? I like snails, and I've got mystery snails in every tank I've got except my pea puffer tank, but I feel like they leave a lot behind, plus I really like to watch the shrimp as well...

I bought a Top Fin Fascinate tank this week which is a 10 gallon column tank. I switched the filter for a Top Fin MF10 because it’s quieter than the HOB that came with the tank and I like the adjustable water flow and direction. The heater is set to 80-82°F. I planted it with rotala and another...

That looks absolutely stunning! Did you attach the moss ball to anything or does it just stay there? Also does opening it up and flattening it out affect its growth rates and patterns at all?

What's the best way to fertilize? I've read a little about CO2 and I know there's liquid fertilizers, but I honestly don't know the first thing about either or how they work, and the more I read the more confused I get.

I have two pea puffers and I'm setting up a new 10 gallon tank for them as the 5.5 I had them in was way too tiny, and they're doing alright in my 20 long community tank, but I've done more research and talked to more people, and I've come to the conclusion that they'd be better off in a...

I have an ADF in my 20 long community tank and I was wondering whether or not I should get another frog or two so the one I have won’t be lonely, or is it better for them to be solitary? He’s very active as it is, but would it be better for him to have another frog around to interact with?
