I have a DSB in my refugium in sump. My question is, would putting nassarius snails in defeat the purpose of having the dsb? Isn't the dsb supposed to not be disturbed? Also, I have a bunch of ceramic bio media. Could this be placed in the refuge along with my live rock rubble without...

I actually ordered my bulkheads/hole cutter for glass_holes.com. I could add an overflow easily enough, nothing in the tank now. I am just trying to understand the point of adding the overflow. How would an overflow make a difference compared to having a 90 at the bulkhead facing up, with a...

I ordered the bulkheads as a kit. They do have a filter piece for the inside of the tank. I have 2 more questions. 1. Inside tank at the bulkhead, would it be better to have a 90 elbow facing up, with notches cut into it, acting as surface skimmer/overflow. Or, just leave the bulkhead 1/2 inch...

I am planning on having my tank drain to my sump directly from through my bulkhead to the sump with no overflow setup. Will this cause any problems. I'm not sure about the overflow purpose on drilled tanks. Is it just so you are skimming off the top surface of the water? To clarify, I will...

Would 2 40w bulbs be the same a one 80w bulb? Does it work like this, can I add a box to house additional 40w bulbs or would I just be spinning my tires with no added beneficial results.

2 pairs sounds great. Thanks for the info!

Hi, What is the ideal setup for the # of gbr's for a 30 gal. Also, should they be paired m/f or should the ratio be more like 1m-3f. Probly throw in some glowlights too. Thanks

Thanks for the reply's all very informative:D

Hi, I have a 75g planted. I bought it used and it came with a bulb. It is a 40w, 48" standard light fixture which goes with the tank. I bought a bulb from the hardware store for about $6, it is a sylvania 40w flouresent bulb that says it is for aquarium and plant use. It looks a little...

75 gal. I wanted to get them up to 6 total so I was going to go with 1 black, then 3 banded. Just wanted to be sure they would all stick together or else I would just get 4 more of the black guys. Thanks for the reply.

Hi, I have a pair of black kuhli loaches and I wanted to add a few more. If I mix some striped kuhli's with the black ones will they all school together or will the black kuhli's group up seperate from the striped kuhli's? Thanks.

Hi, I read how Neons don't go well with Cardinals because some people may take notice to the difference. I would like to know if anyone has any preference on a good fish which compliments Cardinals. I do like the look of the Glowlight Tetras and would also like an opinion on how they look...

75g tank. Its been fully cycled for 4-weeks, has 3 black phantom tetras, 3 corys, 2 kuli loaches, 1 CAE and 1 minnow (not sure). Cory's last fish added last weekend. Some cabomba, sword, and hornwart. All plants added 2 weeks ago. I have white sand substrate, but I don't think these are...

I have a 75g with a Fluval 305 and an AC300 HOB filter. Tank is cycled and has only a few fish in it. The Fluval came with media to start it up and running. The carbon bags and the bio stuff. I would like to know about changing the carbon bags on my Fluval 305. I have read different things...

Yep, thanks for the post. One of the exact things I , as a newbie, hear and its good to get a little clarity on.

I'm just starting to setup my 75g tank. My question is when at the end of the cycle and I need to do a 50-70 % water change, can I add the conditioner to the tank (if i'm using a hose/tap to fill) , or do I need to fill individual buckets with the conditioner and manually poor in to the tank...
