WANTED: 180 to 220 gallon reef aquarium fish tank This guy has been posting every week for MONTHS. Everyone wants something for nothing, most of the time he says he would like a "donation". I emailed him and told him that if he can't afford an aquarium like the rest of us, then he can't...

Would it be alright to use tap water for this, or should I use RODI?

I have had four saltwater tanks, and a neighbor liked them so much he went and bought a tank. However, he wants to keep goldfish in it, and I haven't cycled a freshwater tank before. Come to think of it, I have done nothing with fresh water. Can someone give me a quick breakdown of setting up a...

My wife bought this gecko and all the stuff to go with him three weeks ago, and lost interest. I spent over 200 bucks, but I am selling everything for 100 bucks. Comes with a 10 gallon aquarium, sand, lid, light, heater, water, hiding rock and of course the gecko. He is an adult male. I live in...

Bought it today for 50 bucks, I will have some pictures up at some point this week. I have a couple of questions, to make this into a nano reef what do I need to do for lighting. I know the small lights on it aren't suitable, is there a conversion kit for them? Also, I haven't dug into the...

I am currently building a 220 gallon, but I keep catching myself looking at these rimless pico tanks, but I want to know are they really difficult to keep? I know that without the water volume, there is little room for error, but what do you typically use for filtering? Wouldn't most aquarium...

Saltwater Aquarium Live Rock, Base Rock, Reef Rock, Live Sand Guys, This guy sells rock for a dollar a pound, and he has permits to collect here in florida, but he sells it straight from the ocean. I know this subject is like :deadhorse: around here, but what would I need to do to make sure...

Got the new tank ordered last night!!! I am still working out some of the bugs planning, but luckily I have some time before the tank gets here. The only pictures I have to post right now are a 55 gallon freshwater tank a friend gave me that is going to become a sump/refugium. I am really...

Planning my new 220 gallon reef I bit the bullet and ordered a new tank. I had reserved a used 250 if you recall the thread, but upon seeing it in person there was just too much wrong with it. The tank I ordered yesterday is a 220 gallon setup. The dimensions are 6'x2'x30", also bought the...

I have four (4) tanks currently available. $75- 55 gallon hexagon that was used for freshwater. Has gravel and decorations with it. A couple air pumps as well, the stand and tank match. $100- 35 gallon hexagon that was used for saltwater. Has a magnum 350 canister filter and power compact...

My LFS just called me. A customer of his just returned a 250 gallon tank, and he wanted to know if I wanted it instead of the 180 I have on layaway. Same price, just went to look it over, looks brand new. So now comes the question, I know the golden rule is 6 feet, but the tank is 4x3x3. Are...

This was floating on my water when I got home from work today. Anyone have any ideas? :ermm:

So I woke up this morning to a small bubble on one of my small rocks. Looks like a greenish black pearl. What is the best way to eliminate this before it becomes an issue?

Long story short, there is a large wholesale aquarium store in Lakeland, FL. I was just browsing and stumbled across a 250 gallon with stand and canopy for 1400 bucks, I put it on lay away! I also placed a 5 stage RODI system on hold with it. I hope to get it in two months, but now I am trying...

What would I need to turn a 55 gallon tank into a sump? I plan on buying a 180 gallon this summer and I have a vacant 55 gallon in the garage. What kind of time/hassle am I dealing with? What materials would I need? Any help is appreciated.

I have seen him slap them with his tail, but yesterday I found a dead one out of its shell in front of his cave. Second time in two weeks.

I have an HTC Evo 4G on Sprint, I have been using the app for a little while, but a few days ago it quit loading pictures. I can see the tiny picture in the post, but when I click on it to enlarge it is just a blank page. Any thoughts?

I have decided I have to have it. I intend to drip acclimate it for an hour and a half, I have heard about netting and puffers not agreeing. How should I introduce it without introducing water from another tank then? Does anyone have any tips for once he is introduced as to keeping it as healthy...

So the 65 gallon has been up for 6 weeks now since I bought it and moved it. I added the Midas blenny about 10 days ago, just thought I would post some pictures. Sorry they are kind of blurry, my midas is pretty active and doesn't sit still for pictures. I plan on adding a flame hawkfish soon...

I know, I know, bristle worms are good for my tank. But they are grossing my wife out and she wants them gone, I just saw one that was easily 6 inches long. I plan on buying a flame hawk, I have heard they will eat smaller ones, but I wouldn't imagine it can eat one that large. How do you make a...

My two percula clowns have a strand of long feces hanging, they are eating fine and swimming normally. Took a picture to my lfs whole said he believes it is an internal issue, he gave me some food that is medicated, non copper based and says its reef safe. I guess it can't hurt to try. Has...

So I moved my midas blenny into the display tank today, he settled in almost instantly. I had read that they prefer to perch high, but for some reason he has chosen a cave at the bottom of the tank. He has changed colors more frequently today then he did in QT, probably because there was not...

So on the top of my sand bed there are very tiny black spots, they look like pellets but I don't feed pellets. Does anyone have any idea what this could be and what causes it? It is all grouped in one corner, and there are a few spots isolated throughout. I will try to post a pic.

Has anyone purchased one? Have you had any luck with it, and how much did it set you back. I am very interested in getting one, but I am still researching them. I plan on seeing if my LFS can even get them.

My protein skimmer was making a ton of microbubbles in my display. I asked my LFS about it, apparently pantyhose over the outlet works miracles. I tried it, it eliminated most of them, so I wrapped another sleeve around the filter sock on my return pump, bubbles gone. If I look very very close...
