I have some better pictures of the damage to my tank. I know it has been a while since I posted, but I have been reading my posts here, as well as looking at what others have done. I have also had another idea. Could I put a piece of glass across the tank, like a new side panel, that would block...

I am looking at return pumps for my 210 gallon freshwater with a 60 gallon sump. I was thinking that I need around 2500 GPH of flow for a turnover rate of around 9 times an hour. Anyway, a little giant pump is around $200.00. I was looking on Amazon, and came across an idea that I thought may...

I have been researching this and talking on a few other forums, including monster fish keepers. I think I am going to basically laminate the bottom. Piece of 1/4 or 3/8 on the bottom, then epoxy sealed plywood on the bottom, with a new bottom frame. What does everyone think of this? Thanks for...

I aquired a new tank. It is a 210 gallon oceanic. Its one of the old heavy ones. My problem is, it has a crack on the bottom. I am including some pictures of it. Any idea of how I can repair it? Thanks, William

Sorry for taking so long to reply, been a very busy time at work and with the kiddos. I am going to put in one colormax bulb, one actinic, and 2 daylights. Hopefully this will make the colors pop. On a side note, wifey let me buy a new aquarium. Its a 210 gallon oceanic. 7ft x 2ft x 2ft...

Hello everyone, been looking and searching, and I haven't been able to find the information on here that I have been looking for. I have a 55 Gallon Osceanic, drilled with overflow, and a 20 gallon wet/dry sump freshwater setup. I system has a Little Giant 2-MDQ-SC pump that flows 510 GPH @ 1'...

Been a while since I have been on here or posted anything. I went to saltwater for a while, then we moved and I totally took down my tank, but I'm getting ready to set up a new one. I have a 75 Gal drilled Oceanic with a sump that I am setting up. I would like to have this one planted, and the...

I cant pm from my phone but let me get my drill pay in and if its still available I will take the entire package. Sent from my SCH-R530C using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Well, I got my driftwood centerpiece into my tank today. I found this at the lake, pressure washed it with water, then boiled it before I put it in the tank. I still need to pull out the blue gravel and get my natural gravel in there, and I still havn't figured out what to use under the...

I'm going to try it without CO2, and see how it goes, if I need it I'll do a DIY CO2 setup. I'm getting alot of ideas from seeing these. I want to go with river gravel for my cap, but what should I use under it? I was thinking of dirting it, but I like to change things around too much. What...

Thanks for sharing those. I lucked out and found a local person that has an overgrown tank that is giving me a bunch of his extras to see if I can get my tank going. Hopefully I will have a planted tank to show off in a week or two.

Ok, I have an earlier post about plants for a tall tank I have set up and running. I have more or less decided on plants that I am going to have in the tank. This tank has been going strong for about 5 years now. I can drain the water out of the tank into a container, and perform a 20-30%...

Could I have a few of you post some pics of the DIY CO setups? I have been looking at some of the other forums, but they really don't show them in action. Thanks everyone.

I have a 55 Gal Oceanic for sale or trade. I would be willing to sell it for 75.00. I have a custom made full glass top with a cutout on one corner for a canister setup. I would trade it for some nice guppies or endlers, or some nice LL plants/driftwood for my other tank. May even trade for...

Could you post a picture of your setup?
