Thanks for the advice:) Well, I looked up aquarium stands and I found something that will make my mom happy as far as look and storage. So, now I am debating between 55-75 gallon tanks. My dad is going to build this center for me at his house, in four pieces and come here and attach it all...

Hi everyone, So I have my 28 gallon hex tank going strong for about a month and half and I want to upgrade already. The only issue I have had is my emerald crab attacks my fish, so he is going to be relocated..The hex is a hard shape and I keep seeing bigger tanks! I live in a condo and the...

My emerald crab attacked and killed my tang last night right when I watching in the dark. Tang was very healthy and active. He also tried go after my clown when he is sleeping on the sand bed. Had to take him back to LFS. He was always eating and I target fed him to make sure.

Having trouble trying to upload video. I know the tank is too small, but the LFS choose my fish when he came over and he said it could live a year in my tank before relocating to a bigger tank. I was in the hospital when the fish came, and arrived to fish in my tank. So, this is what he told my...

Hi everyone! Well good news bad news. I haven't been on much as you can see because of my health has worsened. But, my mom had the our LFS come out and help with the tank set up. He even put a clown fish and a baby blue tang after the water tested ok. The fish have been in there for two days now...

I ended up with the pink Fiji sand. It is very pretty! Thank you for the recommendation. So I have now 20 lbs of live sand which is about a 1.8'' sand bed. 12.5 lbs of live rock. I think I need more live rock, but it seems weird with a hex shape? :confused:I submitted a picture to show. Also, I...

I am sorry about your condition and all that you had to go through and still going through. It is tough. I am so glad I got into this hobby to help relax and keep me occupied!

Thank you all for all your advice and words of encouragement. I got my stand painted over the weekend. I am going with OCMINPIN on wednesday to get live sand, live rock and water to start the cycling process. Thank you 54seaweed for finding the hex hoods for me. I am hoping the place I...

I ordered a saltwater complete testing kit today as well as a aqua clear 70 filter. Buying things slowly right now. This weekend I am going to sand and paint the stand so I can get started on the actual tank. I am so excited!:rofl: I will post the before and after. My stand is a oak color right...

Thank you for all your help! I just ordered a aqua clear 70 filter online and hope it gets here soon! Slowly checking off things on the list! Another question, I just found out that my hood is not working, not the bulb. I am going to eventually, hopefully, start a reef once I understand exactly...

Thank you for responding. I am so sorry to hear about your wife. You are correct about it being called systemic lupus. I don't have the sun aspect of it, but my internal organs are failing. So, I cannot not be out a lot due to the risk of getting an infection and my organs shutting down. I will...

I have been watching youtube videos on how to set-up a tank. I also got the salt water tank for dummies book to read. I understand it can be expensive, that is why I am starting to piece together all the equipment I need before starting. From what I have heard, I would need. Hydrometer to...

Hi everyone, was on the member introductions, but thought I would moved it here. I just got a 28 gallon used acrylic hexagon tank today with a stand. I have to sand and paint the stand first though. I got some advice from another poster, Khij159753, to start out. But that was referring to a 20...

My mom came home with a used 28 gallon acrylic hexagon tank with a stand she got for $60 at a local fish store. I was so excited! I have to sand and paint the stand though because it needs some TLC, but it is sturdy! I will post pictures later of the before and after for the stand. It came...

Thank you for replying so quickly! I am thinking a reef with a community tank. I am most likely going to buy slowly once the tank is prepared properly. I will start looking on Craigslist, thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it! Should I re-post this thread in the saltwater section as...

Hi everyone, I currently am suffering from a disease called lupus. It is an autoimmune disease that kills your organs. I am not fairing very well, and part of my coping is to attend pain management therapy classes. It was suggested to me to start an aquarium for stress relief and something to...
