Hello all, I'm nearing the point of being able to fill my new tank and get this show on the road. I have an existing 28g nanocube, all the rocks from it will be moved to the 55g. I also have 30 pounds or so of rock that came with the 55g, which were in rough shape because it seemed like he just...

Hello all, this past weekend I bought a used 55 gallon saltwater set up. I can only assume that he let the water evaporate out of the tank, because the rock and gravel was one solid piece. It had to soak before I could pull anything out. He mentioned that he had a lot of trouble with phosphates...

I have a jbj 28 gallon nanocube. With a handfull of crabs and snails, two fish and a few corals. Since about June/July of last year I have been battling what I've assume is red algae. I started off by adding another powerhead. Then made water changes more frequently. Then made them less...

My aquatop heater is showing the temp it's supposed to be and EE and the water is freezing. Is my heater done for good or is there any kind of reset? I can't find anything online. . .

Found a 29 gallon biocube, she is asking 179 for tank and stand. Haven't looked at it yet, but if it looks good I'm getting it for sure!

Ok, I have my 5 gallon that is going to be a pico reef here in a bit. Then I had a brain storm to do a build with an empty 10 gallon I found. Is there a way to connect the two, without drilling, so that it's two tanks with a shared water capacity of 15 gallons?

Alrighty, Heres whats going on. I have a 20g tank that is set up as a quarentine temporarily until my 75g is stocked. When thats done I was planning on doing a freshwater community tank because the light I have for it is only a single bulb T8. Well long story short, My light doesnt work :nono...

Anyone ordered from saltcritters.com? They have some nice looking stuff, prices seem really good. They're going to do free shipping when they get 5,000 likes on facebook, but I'm getting impatient and thinking about ordering before then. . .

So I'm finally (almost) ready to start on my 5 gallon pico build. Yay! A question though, I'm using Black Diamond sandblasting sand, and the idea to do a deep sand bed in there just occurred to me. Is there any reason why it wouldn't work? Just wondering since its not "legit" sand...

I've been thinking about the five gallon hex that I'm going to turn into a pico reef, and if I have plenty of live rock and circulation do I NEED a filter? If I could take the filter part off, I could do a custom hood and fit more light in there. :angel:

It's wondering what kind of coral this bulb could support over a 5 gallon hex. It's a 10 watt CF, 50/50 daylight/bluelight.

I can NOT get one of the power heads to stop blowing bubbles! It blows out a huge burst of bubbles at the beginning of each cycle. Anyone else ever had this problem?

I have asked this question before, but it been a pretty good while. I'm looking for some tank mates for my J. Transcriptus. It's a 75 gallon tank and I have ten Julies, rock work, drift wood, shells, and one Pleco that I'm looking to re-home. Basically, I don't have any fish stores near me with...

I'd like to know what corals can be kept in my nano cube. It has the stock 105 watt CF quad lighting.

Does anyone have an idea of how to go about building a custom hood for a 5 gallon marine land hex aquarium? I was sitting here looking at it, trying to figure out a way to modify it for better lighting, then thought why not build a new one?

Have a 5 gallon tank that currently has ghost shrimp and some snails in it. I'd like to turn it saltwater while I'm building my new tank. I have sand in it now, could I wash the bejesus out of it and use it for saltwater?

My JBJ CF lighting fixture makes a pretty loud popping noise when I turn it on. Not every time though. Is it ok, or is there some kind of short?

Got my tank for Christmas! This is the most excited I've been for Christmas in a long time. I was putting the stand together last night, but honestly I got mad at it and quit. My dads helping me now, and we got in almost put together, then realized that they had the pieces labeled wrong. So we...

I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around lighting requirements. Basically I'm struggling between getting a biocube, and using my current 20 FW tank for a saltwater tank. The problem is I don't understand what kind of lights I should get for my twenty gallon. I already have just a...

Well I've gotten all worked up over a 29 gallon biocube for Christmas. But now that I look at dimensions, it looks like it would hang off my stand 2 inches. I imagine this wouldn't work. . . What does anyone else think?

My parents are getting me the equipment for a saltwater aquarium for Christmas. I already have a 20 gallon tall aquarium, I decied to save them a LITTLE money to just use it. I'm wanting a HOB filter, because I'm using a tallboy chest to set it on, I have nowhere to store a canister or sump...

I ran across these in my hardware store and was wondering what kind of aquarium, if any, these would work on. As in, would "blank" amount work for a 5 gallon saltwater or 20 gallon freshwater?

We are moving the middle of next month, while I'm not looking forward to moving the tank, I'm dreading even more catching the speedy devils in it. What is the least stressful way to clear out ten J. Transcriptus?

This is my new container pond, no fish yet, but I plan on a Comet goldfish or two. Some friends have a couple ponds where I can get plants from, hopefully tomorrow.

So I've been waiting for months and I think I have a mated pair. I'm working a new job and this is the first time I've really watched them in about a week. There is a larger and smaller keeping pretty close together. The smaller, which I thought I had read is the male, is throwing mouthfuls if...
