Now that I have thought about it. I think I will build the 60. What is the best hob skimmer for the 60?

Great idea, thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey guys. I have a 29 sitting around. It has stock lights so I was thinking a Fowlr and maybe a pred fish or 2. I have a 120 mixed so I wanna do something different and not have to buy lights. I also have a 60 gal with a fluval 405, maybe I can do something with it. What are your guys' thoughts...

I have the bubble magus curve 7 on a 120. I think it's sufficient on my tank. I think that the curve 5 would be a touch small. In my opinion. Curve 7 works great. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I like the putty, i usually have to use enough for it to be able to grab or wrap around a little crevice. I sometimes mix it, let it mostly harden, and then place it. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have them on my tank. Yes i agree that they clog up fast, but for good reason. I am impressed with the amount of gunk they filter out of the water prior to it decomposing and adding to a nitrate problem. Mine last about 5 days, and i have 5 of them. I turn them inside out, toss them in washing...

I think the flow is fine. You will find out if it isnt, when there is noticable detritus buildup in corners. Flow in my 120 is very comparable overall and its doing fine. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Mine went through this about 2 months ago. The smaller male, was getting harassed, and was beginning to hide. The larger one would start chasing him until he was out of sight. The smaller one ended up getting stuck under a rock next to the glass on the bottom of the tank. I hadnt seen him for a...

I would consider getting rid of all that foam and replacing it. It could be holding detritus. That may help. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

How much water is your skimmer removing? If your making a fairly wet ski mate, and replacing that with freshwater, this will slowly lower salinity.

Hi, I have an AI Sol Blue LED fixture on a 90G 36x18x30. I have w40, b50 rb50. Things seem like they are struggling. I have ordered a new hydra, and a sol to hydra upgrade kit. I am wondering if anyone else has this similar setup, and what they have their lights set at. I am 12" above water...

I have been having trouble getting calcium, magnesium and alk where it should be. I have kept salinity at 1.025 by use of ato. I have been getting calcium of 360-370, mag 1130, alk 8.0. When I bought my refractometer, the lfs used their calibration liquid to cal it. I am using h2 ocean salt. I...

Thats a great idea, ive thought about why all of our reactors are all vertical, and our di cartridges arent. I will have to set mine like this! Thanks!

Thanks Guys, I think im going to try the lettuce leaf thing. the only problem that i can forsee with that is that the snails are kind of only inhabiting a certain area of the tank. there are about 100 on one piece of driftwood, and then there are a few all over, they dont seem to move that fast...

I have had little tiny tiny snails reproducing in my tank for a few months now. when ever I would see one I would try to pick it out. In the last week they have been doubling populations almost daily it seems. I already have 2 clown loaches in there. But they dont seem to be touching them like I...

Here is my 60 Gal, I am shooting the photo with a Nikon D90.

Ya I have my lights on from 430 till 1140, so 7 hours and my plants are doing great

I have been running Purigen for a year or so now, it is impressive. I have had to regenerate it once, but it is getting near the end of its life cycle again. I havent heard of anything about purigen in planted tanks, can anyone chime in on this? Thanks

I have really good success by moving really slow with one net, and cornering them, if they stop, I stop, and slowly scoop them up. I have a red net and a green one, I have noticed better luck with the green though, maybe just dumb luck?
