Am currently upgrading my 55gal to a 180gal and couldn't be more excited. I already have my stand in place and my tank is being delivered tomorrow. I have a quick question about hanging my new taotronics. I have 3 units that I need to hang. Unfortunately my ceiling is 6ft high and I don't really...

Hello all I am thinking about upgrading my 55gal to at least a 110gal. However I was recently told about the website glasscages.com and they have some pretty good deals on larger tanks and stands. Has anyone ever used them before? Also is is better to increase my tank depth or length? Thanks

According to Live Aquaria clown gobies can show aggression towards each other. My lfs has them in a nano tank with multiple specimens. Would it be possible to keep two or more clown gobies in my 55gal?

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a few good books about cichlids and their care. I'm looking for a book that will cover all types (African, new world etc). Just looking to expand my knowledge base before starting a tank. Thanks

So I have fallen in love with sea hares and would love to have one in my 55 reef. I was just curious if anybody has had any experiences with them? I know that they can expel toxins and since I run carbon I didn't think it would be a problem. Just looking for people who have had personal...

Try looking the up here www.liveaquaria.com they have so great info when it comes to specific fish. I always check there first before buying :)

IO reef crystals

The g3 should work for a 40b. I haven't replaced any of the canisters and I've had the filter for a year. That being said I am considering changing my pre filter canister soon just because of how long I've had it. I take both canisters out and clean them every time I do a water change. I change...

I have the g6 and love it. I got it from amazon as one of their lightning deals. I can't remember how much it was but in my opinion it was worth it. Very easy to clean and replace media. The digital screen is the best part. You can set reminders to change your media and clean. As well as alerts...

Thanks! Had no clue ro/di could do that. It's easy enough to fill a few buckets with tank water during pwc too. Thanks for all the help guys!

So I just got back from an 8 day vacation and my tank has been overrun by algae of many types. The most of it is hair algae which I've never really had a problem with. I left a detailed list for the family member who was taking care of it so I'm not sure where it went wrong. I was just curious...

Hmm maybe I'll pass on the smart wave than. Anybody know any that are less than$150. Most I've seen are digital and expensive. I've checked BRS, amazon, and drs foster smith.

Been looking into getting one of these but according to my research some people have had problems with it running other brand power heads. I have one hydor and 3 aqueon brands power heads. Just looking to everyone's opinion on the matter.

The mushrooms I've added have shriveled up but still remained attached to the rock I bought them on. The zoanthids open up a little bit for a few days than close.

Yeah I replaced all the live sand and live rock when I started up again in January. I run carbon as well a purigen. I am using the fluval g6 and reef octopus bh 1000. I have 4 power heads that I alternate the amount of time each is on. Two up top and to in the middle. I do a water change every...

I get them from live aquaria and this little mom and pop place that I've never had problems with. The owners are amazing and really know there stuff. I usually drip for like 2 hours. Should it be more maybe?

So just to update. It's been a few months and I still can't keep any corals alive for more than a few weeks. I switched back to reef crystals and don't dose anything since I don't have keys for them. Nitrates and nitrites remain at 0 and ph is 8.3. Salinity is a constant 1.025. I use ro/di...

Just got my BRS refractometer and I live it. Just curious if I can use ro/di water to calibrate it

My lfs just got these new additives in. Has anyone ever tried them? They also carry the fluval LEDs too. One for planted tanks, one for marine, and one for reef. I haven't figured out how they compare to the marineland reef LEDs yet.

I would like to get a refractometer since I know it will be a lot more accurate than my current hydrometer. I saw the reviews about the BRS one and that looks good but amazon also has quite a few. Just curious which one everyone likes. Thanks

So I should slowly mix in IO with the Red Sea before completely switching back. A little IO with most Red Sea and so on for a few weeks. I've heard mangroves require a lot of calcium. Should I dose calcium so they don't use it all? Not sure if that's a stupid question but going to ask anyway lol

So before my tank crashed during sandy power outages I had no problems keeping coral. I had zoanthids all over and mushrooms. At the time I was using IO reef crystals. I started my tank up again in January and decided to switch to Red Sea coral pro salt on the advice of friends. I put a zoanthid...

Will do. Thanks

I have a 55gal aqueon glass tank. Would the 4 foot screen DIY kit work for my tank? I was thinking about ordering the 5 foot just in case. Also is it meant to cover the whole tank because mine has a center brace. I'd really like to order it soon as I currently use glass versa tops which I hate.
