Ive decided to take the leap and get an aquarium controller and in my research on different 1s I've become kinda stuck on the idea of having sunrise, sunset, moon phases and storms on my 220. I dont however want to spend 4 on lights so I'm curious if there is a cheaper version of the AI sols or...

I just bought a 220 to upgrade my 120 but the 220s not drilled and needs to be resealed. I already have the tank tore apart and I'm looking for a place to have it drilled but I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells pre made in tank overflows, I dont want to use HOBs and I'm not...

I'm buying myself new lights for my 120, I have 2 coralife aqualights and they do OK, but they don't give me the richness and the brilliant colors I'm after, I've been looking at metal halide/ T5 combos on eBay and also LEDs that replace metal halides, which would be better and give me that...

If you're running a sump I would look into an algae scrubber, I built 1 for my 120, best thing I've ever done for it, not a trace of nuisance algae and my parameters have never been better

I recen added a waterfall algae scrubber to my 120 FOWLR and its already made quite a difference but im redoing my sump and stand soon and ive been readi up on the upflow scrubbers and I'm just wondering if anyone has used a diy version and if it worked as good or better as the waterflow. Also...

I have an oceanic 120 Fowler and 1 of my overflow boxes have split at the bottom this wasn't a great big problem till the other day when the bulkhead started leaking so obviously I cant change the bulkhead or repair the overflow box without draining the tank so im curious if there is any kind...

Do you know the dimensions of the tank

I have an oceanic 120 and it looks just like that, same wood grain on the trim and same glass center brace, I'd say go for it, if its not cracked worst case would be $8 for a tube of silicone

Sure you can

I'm currently getting everything for my 125 FOWLR and I'm not sure exactly what brand, strength and number of power heads I should run and I also want to get a new protein skimmer just not sure on which 1 there either, thanks

I'm a fan of lion fish too, so if I were to go that route what other fish could I have

I recently got my 125 up and running and in a couple weeks I'll be ready for fish, its going to be a FOWLR and I'm leaning towards a community tank I think but I just need some more ideas on my stock, any help would be greatly appreciated

I've been doing a lot of research into my first saltwater tank and I had pretty much decided on either a 125 or 150 but I recently came across a brand new 90 gallon acrylic tank, stand, lights, filters, the whole 9 yards and everything is still new in the box for what I think is a decent deal...
