Hey guys I'm looking for some blue led strips that are small that I can superglue to the inside of a ten gallon aquarium hood. Does not need to be coral growing lights. Just looking for cheap ones to provide the aesthetic blue light look for glofish and glo plants. Any links would be appreciated!

Dedication, right? But it's just the start of a bunch of things that mean alot to me in my life I'll be getting turned into a half sleeve. The artist is brad Downam at studio b in Marion Indiana. This guy is simply amazing! I just brought in a picture of clownfish and an anemone and this...

I had a couple ideas for water changing solutions last night. Was wondering if these are employed somewhere or if they are feasible. Also general discussion about water changing ideas is encouraged! 1: a system to change just a few gallons per day. This would eliminate fluctuations in...

I am looking for aquarium livestock or equipment selling web sites that offer an affiliate program. So far this is all that I have found: Site - Commissions Sales % --------------------------------------------- petco - 8-11% fish.com (and associated sites) - 6% petswarehouse.com - 10%...

How do I know the temperature of the tap when I'm doing water changes? Just guess? Also, do I add enough water conditioner for the whole tank or just for the water I'm replacing? Do I put it in the tank and then add the water or do I mix it in the water and then add to the tank? Also, the...

I am new to freshwater tanks and planted tanks but I have set up lots of saltwater tanks so I know about all of the equipment and cycling and the wonderful world of fishkeeping. I've bought a standard 10 gallon aquarium with hood, a hang-on-back filter rated for 20 gallons, a koralia 240 nano...

I've recently discovered an absolute abundance of these worms in my tank! I've never looked under the rocks with my lights off. I think it is killing my zoa rock (about half of the polyps are gone) and possibly some other corals in the tank. I will post 3 pictures, each one with a red line...

I've been using reef crystals my whole reef keeping experience. I've tested several times right out of the box. It always reads right around 8dKH and pH about 7.8. Everything else tests good (about 420 in ca, 1500 in mg, 0 nitrates). How does your reef crystals test when mixing it before...

What's an accepable level of stray voltage in a saltwater aquarium? Is a grounding probe just a cover up to the real problem (after all, there's still voltage in the tank, it just has a way out now) or is it a viable solution rather than replacing equipment? I'm guessing this level is really...

I'm starting a pico reef build for my desktop. Ordered the Aqueon Evolve 4. I've got everything I need (just have to find it in my boxes of fish stuff!). Tank hasn't shipped yet but I wanted to make this thread because I'm excited and give you plenty of time to follow along if you want to...

I've been looking for the 5 gallon but can only find the 30 gallon on marinedepot.com using my google machine knowledge.

The pet store called this a "rose anemone". I said, a rose bubble tip anemone? And he said no it's not a bubble tip but it looks like one. Confusing right. So I want to be sure that this is just a red/rose bubble tip anemone. They want $80 for it too. That's a lot, and the anemone looked...

Do any of you do anything to new arrivals before waiting to see if anything happens? I've read a lot about it and people seem to be on both sides of the fence. I think I would like to do something prophylactic to take some guesswork out of what I could be potentially introducing into my main tank.

I have a 280 gallon acrylic aquarium for sale. It is 72"x30"x30". It is pretty beat up but has been leak testing for two weeks - no leaks! It will need some care to restore it back to beautiful though. Has scratches and (non-structurally important) crack in top brace. I will include what's...

Okay, so it's time so either sell this beast or set it up. Before I can do either I need to repair and restore it. The biggest problem is a big crack in the top bracing. It is all the way through the acrylic (can feel it on the bottom) but there is no space inbetween it. Is this crack...

How can I know if my return pump is failing? For the past few weeks it's been flowing at different rates. I just woke up to the DT flooded because my pump decided to send a whole bunch of water to it and emptied my ATO as well. But, the ball valve controlling the flow hasn't been touched...

Due to taking down my nano tank I'm selling the lights I bought for it. They were only used for about a month. Great working condition and come with mounting screws and bumpers. The exact same lights can be found here: Aquarium LED Light Fixtures: ecoxotic Panorama Pro LED Modules I must...

I'm looking for some books (yes, real books!) that contain identification of lots of different species of corals and care information. Also appreciated would be a large section on water chemistry (though well explained for noobs and not all technical jargon). It would be nice if the books were...

No excitement :P This is a thread where I can put all of the stuff related to my 55 gallon that I've had up and running for 14 months. I find myself making excessive number of threads when I could just put them all here. Anyways, tank info: 55 gallon, 18 gallon sump, 4x54w t5ho lights (2...

I have a mag drive 1.9 that I'm wanting to hook up to 1/2" pvc pipe. The book says "1/4 piping". Does this mean 1/4" FPT? And, if so, where can I find a 1/4" FPT x 1/2" slip pvc fitting?

It is so cool to watch. :D I finally moved them from quarantine into the main tank. They found the anemone within 20 minutes. They never fought in the quarantine tank but seem to be fighting now. Could they be fighting for possession of the anemone and I should get another one?

Really only posting this out of boredom, lol. Does this count as a DIY project? I made a cart to haul my 18g tote from room to room. Dead simple. :) It was really needed though. The handles on my totes would wear out and create leaks in them. Plus it will save my back a little...

I want to try to automate my water changes as much as possible. I've been doing them the hard way. Here's a little bit of a plan I have. If you could make suggestions or tell me if things would work that would rock. :) 1: Get two 18g rubbermaid totes. One will hold RO/DI water, the other...

Do you turn off your sump pump and PH's? I never have, but for some reason it's becoming increasingly difficult to get the food to the fishes before it goes down the drown.

I want to get a yellowstripe maroon clownfish (single, I think a pair may be too much aggression). I'm wondering if it will be fine with 2 green chromis, a royal gramma, coral beauty, and a kole tang. I will be restocking to have this but don't want any trouble!
