Hello all! It look like I may be starting a freshwater tank soon... So I need some advice. I've only dealt with a 10g and 2g FW tank, so I know most stuff, but I have some questions... So I currently own a 55g and stand. The stand can actually hold the tank underneath, as I planned on having it...

Hi! It's been over 6 months since my last post... I'm back from the dead... Ive been on a mental vacation for a few months, but lately I've been thinking about setting up a non-nano tank... So I have some questions for you guys before I get started: I have a 55g currently that I plan on using...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, please help me move it if it isn't. I felt it was the right spot. Today I went to my LFS to price some stuff out and see what they carried. Most of the tanks they carried are a tank+stand combo. Since I have a stand I am almost done staining, I was looking...

Hey guys and gals. Today I received the refractometer I ordered from eBay. The one I ordered was 24$. It measured from 0-10% Brix, or that's what it said online. It listed index of refraction and specific gravity ranges as well. Well today when I opened up the case, zipped through the...

I've been doing a little research on return lines and stuff for my sump. I know you should drill a hole in the pipe just below the water line to prevent a siphon if the power goes out (never has at my house, but you never know). These holes I've seen drilled are all for returns that go over the...

Hey guys! I've been making some posts around the site in regards to a larger SW tank. Seeing as how it will be a while before I get it up and running (years to come, after I move out of the parent's house) I'm going to turn my previously-FW tank into a nano SW. I was thinking of doing some LR, 2...

So i am currently in the process of building a stand for my 55g that I bought. (Ends up, the 55g fits underneath due to a slight miscalculation. Guess who may be buying a bigger tank? :brows: ) I recently bought hinges for doors for the stand. The doors are the front sheet cut in half...

So I was thinking of my overflow and trying to plan ahead. I didn't seem to notice anybody using the BeanAnimal overflow. I was just wondering what opinions on this overflow people have, especially people who use it. With nobody using it, it makes me worry that either it isn't very good or it is...

Hello, just got a quick question about a QT tank. I'm eventually making the jump to SW. I am for sure setting up a QT tank, because sadly I've never had one for my 10 gallon FW tank. I'm in the process of getting an RO/DI unit, and restarting my 10 gallon system due to a crash because of my tap...

Hello all, I've been browsing the website and love the community. I'd love for you guys to give me a little help. =) So I've decided to make the jump to salt water. I'm planning on doing a FOWLR, but also would like to get into corals and anemones, just not quite sure how much. I'd rather get a...
