I have a used 150 gallon tank. It may be 20 years old. Before I set it up, I put it in the garage and filled it. It has a very small drip in the front. The back and sides are fine. There is a ton of extra caulk where someone has added to the caulk before. So I am in the process of removing...

I have African Cichlids. It's a well established tank. Haven't done a water change in a couple weeks.

I'm buying things for my 150 gallon freshwater tank. I will have community fish, a planted tank with C02. I will have 2 canister filters. I want good circulation. I will probably put 2 pumps or some type of wave makers. Not sure what kind. Any recommendations for this size of tank.

I'm testing my water for GH and KH and I'm following the directions but am confused on how to understand the readings. It says add a drop and shake each time until the water in the tube changes colors. I think it took 9 drops for it to change but I don't understand if that is good or not. I...

Ok thank. My beams are perpendicular underneath. Where I did want to put it, they were running parallel. I rather have where it is running perpendicular. The beams are connected to the wall underneath and connected to a load bearing wall that it will be setting on. I believe it is a load...

I want to set up my 150 gallon freshwater aquarium in a few months. It is very heavy with thick glass. Tank and stand weights about 400 pounds. I'm thinking with water, gravel, rocks, tank/stand, accessories, this is going to weigh close to 2000 pounds. I have a finished basement underneath...

I have a 150 gallon freshwater aquarium I will be setting up soon. I'm looking around for canister filters. I probably will buy 2 of them. Anyone heard of the SunSun HW-304B 5-Stage External Canister Filter with 9-watt UV Sterilizer, 525 GPH? Thanks. Matt

Common question I’m sure, but can a floor handle a 150 gallon tank? This tank is heavy with thick glass. Took 3 people to unload it…4 would have been great. It is sitting in my garage as I’m buying the accessories I need for it. I figure it will weigh 2000 pounds when it is all set up. My...

I have 150 gallon freshwater aquarium that I am buying things for. It will be for community fish with live plants. Looking into buying a filter soon. I prefer a canister filter with a built in UV light. I plan on having a C02 system set up too. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am studying C02 systems for my 150 gallon freshwater tank. I have seen on DrForstersSmith.com the Deluxe Fully-automatic C02 system for over $400. Does anyone have this? Has someone bought something different? I want a system to turn on and not do a lot of maintenance on. Not really...

I just bought a 150 gallon tank that I want to use for community freshwater fish with live plants. I really need to educate myself on T-5 lights. I need to know how many strips and bulbs I will need, and what bulbs to use for live plants. I don’t have a top and probably will get some glass or...

Been thinking about upgrading and getting a large tank. Possible about 265 gallon for freshwater, community fish and live plants. I've seen tanks with holes drilled in. Don't really want to do that. Wondering what type of filtration to use? I like canister filters. Didn't know if there was...
