I'm wanting a tank that looks rimless but is Eurobraced so my snails don't end up on the floor (have a friend with a rimless and has issues). Where is the best place that's AFFORDABLE to buy one? Glasscages does not do this and I read some scary reviews. Thank you!

I've a Christmas favia that I rescued from a friend. I have it at the bottom of my tank and have only had it three days. It's color is faded and in some places has a yellow tint. I tried feeding it but have seen no response. I don't know what her water parameters were but I did dip the favia...

My friend has had issues with her tank being overrun by amphipods that are eating her zoas so she bought a wrasse and did not QT it (bad move but not my tank). It gave her other fish ich so now they are in QT and the amphipods are out of control. The wrasse was doing okay but still wasn't...

Will egg crate from Home Depot leach any chemicals etc. into my tank? I'm wanting to use some in there but I remember reading something about plastic a while back. Thx!

So I will admit that this is the first tank I've not had drilled. I'm using an HOB overflow box and I've had it set up and working great for some time now. This past week I did my usual water change and then turned my equipment back on as usual. I always stick around to make sure everything...

How long can bacteria live in a cycled tank that has nothing in it but live rock? No fish, no CUC.

I have an ORA dragonet that eats frozen mysis, brine, and pellet foods. I feed him twice a day and he is a happy little fatty. Ive had him going on 3 months now. My question is this: What is the best product or food for these fish as far as nutrition? I do have plenty of pods for him to...

I need to know what eats amphipods that is reef safe. I have a mandarin that won't touch them and a clown goby that won't either. My tank is 55 gallons and it is official that they have killed two of my snails. I literally watched them crawling all over them. Someone told me that they only...

I'm curious for some feedback on these from people who have had them a year or so. I've got kessels on my tank now but was considering turning my other tank into a smaller reef. I wanted to know what those of you who have them think, any issues that you've had with them, and if your corals are...

I have a new tank and I will be moving everything over to it from my old tank. I bought some new aragonite dry sand to put in the new tank. In the past when I've moved I would simply go through the normal cycling process. With this tank I will simply transfer most of my water, all my live...

I'm almost ready to begin my reef adventure however in my final stage, I am needing advice on water flow. I'm wanting a realistic (or as close as I can get to realistic) water flow for a reef. I've read conflicting reviews regarding wave makers so I'm curious as to what everyone has. This is...

Anyone on here have a A350W on their reef tank? I have a 56 gallon tank and emailed them to ask what they would recommend and this is what they told me would be good. In addition, I was wondering where the best place to purchase it would be. Please advise. Thank you!

I'm wanting LED lights for my FOWLER tank so that I can convert it to reef. I don't want to be limited because of light on what corals I can choose. The Dimensions are :30" W x 18" D x 24" H. How many lights do I need? I don't want metal halides because of the heat issue and the fact that...

There are so many snails for aquarium! I have some questions as I've never put them in my saltwater aquarium. What are the best snails for a Reef aquarium? Do shrimp eat snails? What do they eat if you don't have algae issues? HOW MANY would a 56 gallon aquarium need? I don't want them...

I'm going to be making a 20 gallon sump for my 56 gallon tank. What I don't understand is when there is a power outage, is there a way to keep water from my tank from being siphoned into the sump automatically? I will not be drilling my tank as its been established now for two years. Trying...
