    First Time 30 Gallon Reef Build:)

    A little background...I currently have a 36" long x 12" wide x 20" high tank that's current residents are getting upgraded to a 55 gallon. I've gotten conflicting numbers as far as gallonage is concerned, 30 gallons being the smallest so that's what I've decided to consider it to be on the safe...

    10 gallon lighting

    So I currently have 2-10 gallon and 1-5 gallon tanks that are going to be set up in a shelf I am building. My 5 gallon and a 10 have hoods with screw in sockets and I am planning on a curly CF.

    Suitable tank

    I just found this on CL for 90$, sometime in the near future I'd like to start saltwater tank. Its guessed to be about 85 gallons based on dimensions. I know it's not a lengthy tank but I like the originality of it. Would this be suitable for most fish?

    Future plans

    So after much deliberation, I want a saltwater. But I'm a go big or go home kinda girl, so I want the biggest tank I can get!

    Moved Home

    So I moved home and brought my tanks. I kept the filter media wet and changed to sand. But when i tested water out of the tap I have 1 ppm ammonia and 1 ppm nitrite, I'm not sure what I should do about that. I still added dechlorinator and the fish are alive. Haven't tested it in a day, but does...

    So I'm in the process of a move, and when I reset up my new 2 tens, I want to try the Walstad method. I will be using a sand cap, which I know they will love. Does anyone see a problem with the soil and black kuhlis?

    Riparium??

    Does anyone here have one, I'm thinking of doing some tank flip flopping. The 40 in the bedroom that houses my hatchling cooter for the 55 in the living room with my fishies. But I want it to loom display like, and I really like this concept.

    Betta and ram

    So my original centerpiece was an angel, and I wanted a 1 Bolivian & 1 German blue ram. But then I saw king bettas and thought, wow. I can't hardly find anything about them mixing. They just say kings are more peaceful and so are rams. So I'm looking for input from anyone that ha kept either and...

    Sick bettas!

    So 2 of my female bettas had white spots the day after they arrived from being shipped. I immediately quarantined them, and began an aquarium salt treatment per advise of someone on a Betta forum. But it seems to be getting worse! So I'm looking for second opinions.

    ADF Research

    So I've started looking at adf's and as always everyone says something different. So here are my questions, what size tank is recommended. I've read 1 gallon per frog(skeptical), 3 gallons, and that they shouldn't be kept in anything less than 10. Question 2: I've read they like companions and...

    Changing substrate assistance

    So I was wondering what the best way to go about changing the gravel in my 5.5 gallon to sand. Should I take my betta out until it is completely settled?

    Lighting question

    So I've been looking into upgrading my lights, but it seem super expensive, but I've come across people using shop lights for their aquariums. I was curious if this was safe, and if people really do do this. I love how inexpensive it is! Also, if I do go this route, I want to avoid co2. So...

    Suitable tank or not?

    So I'm fishless cycling my last tank now, it's a 38 gallon. And my original plan was just 2 fancy goldfish. But my boyfriend like the cichlids so I was wondering if a 38 was a suitable size, as I won't be upgrading (the 5, 38, and 55 are plenty for now). If it is what fish should I begin...

    Fishless 5.5 gallon cycle

    So I'm fishless cycling my 5.5, and I have substrate from my 55 gallon in it, and I used shrimp as an ammonia source (I work at a grocery store, got it for .25), after a week ammonia shot up to 8.0, so I've since taken the shrimp out. It has read 8.0 for a second week along with 5.0 nitrites. So...
