Well, after 8 months or so, I have to sell everything. All my stuff. With moving, promotion and a family on the way, I just don't have the time anymore. I was able to give my livestock to a friend so I will be able to see the little guys but all the equipment will have to be sold. Not asking for...

Here are some pictures, I think it's trying to get some excess food out. He was fine as of 5 minutes ago, then my pump went a little higher in speed and it started to do this:::

Recently acquired a extra ten gallon tank from a friend and don't know what to do with it. But after seeing macroalgae I figured maybe I could use that to grow some for my main tank? Don't know much about it though and my 45 gallon display tank does not have a sump. Can it be done?

I get these things floating in my tank like everyday at least. I scoop them out with my net but they keep coming back. Any ideas? To me, they look like dead bugs.

I have 3 questions regarding canister filters and the maintenance they need.. How do you guys clean your canister filters? When do you replace the form pads? And why are canister filters called "nitrate factories" Sorry for listing them like that but I couldn't think of any other way lol

Have two pieces of freshwater driftwood I got for my girlfriends tank but then she wanted a saltwater like mine instead. I paid 36 for each but I'd sell them for 20 or trade for something!

I have a 45 gal tank with no sump. I have a HOB protein skimmer but I just completed my cycle and don't have anything in the tank but 9 snails. If I run my skimmer, will it eat up all the good bacteria if nothing is creating that much waste? Im starting to get a lot of algae up so I wanna keep...

So when I set up my main tank, I got all my equipment at once, protein skim, filter, heater, and lights. When I started I added my live rock my sand and water then got the filter working along with the protein skimmer. What I didn't know was that you aren't suppose to run the skimmer while...

I'm just looking for the best 10 gallon sponge filter for my QT tank.. Anyone know where I could get one?

So for about a year now, I look at porcupine puffers each time I go to the fish store. I love watching them and wish I had the tank size to own one. But this one looks like it isn't cared for very well and I almost think he would be better in my 45 gal tank. Here are the pictures I took::::: As...

As I read in the book; The new marine aquarium by michael s. paletta (not trying to plug) has anyone used his method of quarantining new fish before adding them to the main tank? Also, how did you cycle the quarantine tank?

I'm having trouble getting this bad boy set up. The directions don't really explain anything in great detail but I can't get the bubbles working without water overflowing in the collection cup. And on top of that the input that adjusts the water flow, comes off in the tank a lot, how can I fix...

I wasn't sure after all my research if a co2 system is even needed... Is it only for extreme growth?

Just got a 45 gallon tank and I want to put some live plants in there with my driftwood. My cycle isn't done yet but I'm looking to get the lighting first. I really want Glasso as my foreground plant but all my research has said for 4-6 watts for gallon, and I went out and got this at...

I would really like to have a canister filter on my 45 gallon tank that I just got. I had a terrible experience with HOT filters with leaking and think a canister would be best. But with a canister filter, do you double the size of the filter for the size of the tank? (45 gal tank = 90 gal max...

Hey guys, new member here and I joined up to learn more about starting my first saltwater tank! I have currently a freshwater 20 gallon but I'm giving it back to a family member I borrowed it from and I just got a 45 gallon :-) If anyone has any sticky threads or books I could read up on for...
