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...

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

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?

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

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...

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...

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!

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...

I am looking for a built in filter to go inside an existing tank. I need the tank to sit flat against the wall, but I don't want to have to pay for a whole new tank with a corner, or back filter. Please let me know if you can think of anywhere that sales just the filter unit. Thanks!

I am setting up a 55 gallon reef tank. I want to put it in the den, but there is a lot of light. Take a look at the pictures, the tank would go in the back corner where the table is. There are skylight, not directly above, but on the same celling. Let me know what you think! Thanks

I need a protein skimmer for a 55 gallon reef tank. Thanks!

I am planning on setting up a 55 gallon (breeder size) reef tank. I would like to get around 220 watts on it. I am working on a budget, so I might get a used tank and either replace the lighting or build a hood. Cost being the biggest consideration, what do you think would be the best lighting...

I am setting up a 55 gallon reef tank. I previously set up a 40 gallon reef tank, but it was problem after problem, I didn't have everything I needed. Now, I want to make sure that I do this new tank right. I am making a list of equipment that I will need at setup, if I am missing anything...

I am redoing a 40 gallon planted tank. It has had a lot of trouble with cloudy water. As I was taking it apart I found a lot of dark sand! What is this, and how can I be sure it doesn't happen again?

I have been struggling with cloudy water in a 40 gallon planted tank the past couple weeks. The tank is about 6 months old and livestock is as follows: 4 Cherry Barbs, 2 dwarf cichlids, a pleco, and 4 corys. The tank for the most part is algae free, and is lightly planted. I recently cut...
