I just had someone ask if they need NEEDED to cycle a tank if it was only going to house shrimp and snails. It caught me off-guard. But I told them yes they do, out of safety. But it did get me thinking about their question since only plant matter would be fed into the tank. Has anyone ever kept...

Hey all, getting back into the hobby after many years away now that I have a home and won't be moving all the time. I've purchased a few things so far, but could use a few recommendations on others. So far I have a new 40 breeder with stand, 60 pounds of mixed flourite substrate for live...

Got these frags free with and order I placed online. I know they are zoas, as some kind of chalice, hoping someone can help me narrow them down, thanks! Chalice I think is far left in the third pic. Sorry they are so blue, lights don't look like that in person :-/

Kinda wondering WHAT that is in my bubble coral...

I just picked up a 5 gallon all in one tank that I will be using as a pico for some rock flower anemone and sexy shrimp. My question is, what corals would be okay with a small LED fixture and the neme. And what fish could coexist (if any?) I already have several small prices of Fiji rock that I...

I have a 10 gallon standard aquarium that I am waging to setup as a sexy shrimp/maxi-mini carpet neme tank. I already have an aqua clear 55 filter, rock, sand and heater, but I'm looking for a recommendation on lighting? I have aren't the small 18" sky light LED strips, but am wondering at...

I am bumping the temp up to 86 slowly, but when should the aquarium salt be added? Now, or after the temp hits 86?

Any amounts. Please pm me for info

I have consolidated all of my freshwater tanks into a larger 40 gal breeder, so I now have a spare 20 gal, and a few others (hospital tanks is my plan) how plausible is it to have a 20 gallon saltwater set up for only two clownfish? Is it even worth seting up a sump/refugium on a tank that size...

Thanks petco! 4 free bags of sand substrate since they no longer sell it. Light and stand on clearance for 50% off! Setup picsoin the way for the build thread.

Scored a free 16 gallon bow front aquarium on craigslist today that was BRAND NEW IN BOX (THANK YOU garage sale!) And stopped at petco on the way home for stocking ideas. Poor guorami was in a tank with platys who were trying to nip him unmercifully. Told the staff that I was rescuing him, and...

Fund a great deal on a 90 gallon long at a local store, and thinking it's time to try my hand at a biotope tank. I am REALLY interested in starting up a discus tank, and am well aware of their finicky needs. What kind of tips and tricks does everyone have for a beginner in the cichlids/discus world?

I always mine horizontally middle of my tank about 3" inches above the substrate (since heat rises). But I consistently see others with other members with their heater diagonally, or even vertically on one side of the aquarium. Does heater placement make that much of a difference?
