Hey guys! I have a 55 gallon turtle tank. I'm considering changing the filter on it. Right now I have a standard reptofilter in it. It works pretty well but I'd like a little bit stronger solution. My idea was to take the concept of an under gravel filter and modify it. Is it possible to take...

Great. Though it was good for $40 Thanks! -Jackson

Purchased this today as an "euphyllia coral". New to the coral thing, just wanted to make sure it's a frogspawn as I think Thanks! -Jackson

Thanks and yes it is 4 bulbs

Hello! I currently have 40 gallon a FOWLR tank. It has been set up for almost a year now and it only houses a clownfish, goby, and live rock. I am looking to add some coral to the tank now. I know corals need to be feed, but are there any that can survive on infrequent feeding? Also note...

This is the first time I have had platys breed, so I'm inexperienced. The first offspring is now a month or so old. I have attached a picture- is this the normal color for a fish that age?

So it is nothing to worry about? I have just never noticed them like that

I just noticed my peppermint shrimp has a very defined black spot on his back. Is this normal?

Will do. Just a staple food?

I recently picked up a peppermint shrimp as part of the clean up crew for a new 40 gallon tank. So far, I have only added some snails and crabs and this shrimp. With no fish in the tank, do I need to be dropping food in just for him? Also, do you have any general tips on the care of peppermint...

I know there is a lot of discussion about this, but I wanted to get some more ideas. I am setting up a clean up crew for my 40 gallon saltwater tank. I plan to eventually turn it into a full reef tank. Previously I have had a problem with crabs eating some of my corals, but I believe this came...

--Update-- I tested again today. Ammonia=0 Nitrite=0 Nitrate=20 Is it safe to say the tank has cycled? I am attaching a picture

Thanks for the input. The algae is actually green

BREAKING NEWS So I put in the dead shrimp about a week ago. Since then algae has blown up all over the rock. I just tested the water and ammonia and nitrates and nitrites were all close to zero. Does this mean the tank has cycled?

And if has not cycled, I should expect the normal peaks?

I set up a 40 gallon saltwater tank about 2 months ago. I used dry rock and dry sand in the tank. I has sorta been put to the side for a little while. I have kept a close eye on it, but just let it do its thing, not adding any livestock. There is a pretty good amount of algae growth on the...

Thanks for the help!

I am setting up a FOWLR tank (may convert to reef down the road), in a 40 gallon tall tank. I plan to get about 1/4 live and 3/4 dry. Does anyone have some tips or pictures on stacking live rock in a tall tank. I know it is harder to work with than a long tank, but its what I have. Thanks!

I am looking for a aquarium in the 60 gallon range (for a fowlr set up). I want glass, with a built in filter. I want your opinion on this concept. I have never had a built in filter and don't know how efficient they are. Also, where would you buy a tank like this? Thanks!

This is what it looks like in freshwater. Normal?

It was in freshwater

I got my first protein skimmer for a reef tank I am setting up. It is a coralife 65. I got it on f&s for less than $100. It was too good of a deal to pass up. Well, I tested it in a 10 gallon tank yesterday and it would barely produce any bubbles. I could not figure out what is wrong with my set...

Thanks! That helps a lot

Would that not compromise the strength of the tank?

With that said, what would be the best way to plumb a sump? In order to get it close to flat against the wall
