Ive decided to take the leap and get an aquarium controller and in my research on different 1s I've become kinda stuck on the idea of having sunrise, sunset, moon phases and storms on my 220. I dont however want to spend 4 on lights so I'm curious if there is a cheaper version of the AI sols or...

I just bought a 220 to upgrade my 120 but the 220s not drilled and needs to be resealed. I already have the tank tore apart and I'm looking for a place to have it drilled but I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells pre made in tank overflows, I dont want to use HOBs and I'm not...

I'm buying myself new lights for my 120, I have 2 coralife aqualights and they do OK, but they don't give me the richness and the brilliant colors I'm after, I've been looking at metal halide/ T5 combos on eBay and also LEDs that replace metal halides, which would be better and give me that...

I recently got my 125 up and running and in a couple weeks I'll be ready for fish, its going to be a FOWLR and I'm leaning towards a community tank I think but I just need some more ideas on my stock, any help would be greatly appreciated

I've been doing a lot of research into my first saltwater tank and I had pretty much decided on either a 125 or 150 but I recently came across a brand new 90 gallon acrylic tank, stand, lights, filters, the whole 9 yards and everything is still new in the box for what I think is a decent deal...

What is the easiest way to clean the input and output hoses on canister filters

I am a carpenter by trade and a good friend of mine lays hardwood floors, well he recently came across several extra boxes of tiger wood, and I figured let's build a stand so here we go!

Just a couple quick questions about purigen, as I am now on the bandwagon, do you wait till its completely black to change it or does it stop being as effective before that. And has anyone tried regenerating it and if so how has that gone, I'm a bit weary about soaking anything in bleach and...

Hi all, I'm currently in the planning stage of my 230 gal plywood aquarium and I'm working on the design and doing research on equipment, I've decided to go with probably a 40 or 55 gal sump, which I need input on tried and true methods and as far as equipment I'm most worried about protein...

Hi I currently have a 55 gal Malawi cichlid tank that I originally bought to work up to saltwater, I've since decided that a 55 is way too small to do what I want to do, and I've fallen in love with my cichlids but I've been researching plywood aquariums and I think I'm going to build a 230 gal...

I'm finally upgrading my tank lighting from the dual hood 15watt fluorescent lights that came with the tank but I'm not sure what to get, I like that you can customize the t5s but I've heard they run hot and I know bulbs can get expensive so which way should I go?

I will soon be upgrading my 55gal mbuna tank to a 75gal, and with the upgrade I'll probably run 1 ac70 and a canister filter, possibly just the canister, not sure yet but I've never had a canister and I don't know which 1 would be best for my application, I have an open bottom aquarium stand so...
