    Can Dwarf Baby Tears take brackish water?

    Any chance at all that a well established HC carpet can take brackish water when provided with high light, fertilizers, CO2, and a rich substrate? Specific Gravity would be 1.0003. So very mildly brackish. I'm thinking about getting a F8 puffer.

    It Was The Best Of Times It Was The Worst Of Times - Evolve8

    I couldn't come up with a clever title so I just plagiarized someone famous. I picked one of these suckers up for $68 at Petsmart; last one they had. This is acrylic, eventually it's going to be a dwarf mantis tank - I think... I mean that's why I got acrylic. The viewable area is 6.6 gallons...

    ADA 75-P Hole-Less Reef Build?

    It's about a 40 gallon tank. If I wanted to go with no overflow or refugium and just a very large canister filter like a big Eheim, how well would that work? Besides lighting and a heater, what other parts would I need? Do I just need a hang on back protein skimmer? The plan is to have a...

    MAX 130D vs Current Solana AIO?

    After doing a 50% water change, what's the least disturbing way to add water?

    Besides of course pouring very slowly... even when I do that it seems to spread sand around everywhere. How about with a water pump? Get a cheap $10-20 water pump, pump in water from conditioned water bucket. I suppose if you want to get fancy and you do frequent changes, you can even get some...

    ADA, GlassCages, Fluval Edge: who else?

    Looking for a very well made exquisitely finished rimless glass tank in the 12-24 gallon range. What other brands should I be looking at? It will be a planted tank holding 3-4 Dwarf Puffers and possibly some small otos or other peaceful fish along with fire shrimp depending on size.

    How much does a 24x24 cube gallon tank weigh loaded?

    I guess on average. I haven't been able to find stands that I like but I am considering an industrial kitchen stand like this one: PVI - N243024-2 24" Equipment Stand It can take about 800lbs supposedly. I believe a 24x24 from glasscages holds 60 gallons.
