I have found a fascination for rimless tanks... uh oh help me not spend a fortune please... I just HAVE to have one. Looking for small tanks between 5-20 gallons in all rimless styles. Any ideas are appreciated!!!:thanks::fish1::thumb:

So it's okay to introduce many shrimp at a time? I'm unfamiliar with the whole process... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I have a little bit of space on a desk in my room and I'm going to try a shrimp colony. I will use plant trimmings from my other tank to get scenery. How many shrimp could thrive in this size tank? What is the best thing to feed them? Optimal Temperature? I've heard RCS are the best for...

No I was just going to remove the betta and make it a full on shrimp tank. Thanks for the replies everyone. Would diy co2 be okay on a shrimp tank?

Hey everyone! I'm looking into starting my first shrimp colony! I have tons of leftover equipment from my last beta tank so the filter, lights, and the plants are all taken care of. What is the best substrate for RCS? I'm open to other shrimp species but RCS seem so easy and beautiful. I want a...

Hello everyone! I'm looking to start either a 5 or 2.5 gallon shrimp colony! I have a nano filter left over from a previous beta tank and have the old lights I used to grow plants in my beta tank. I am also currently running an overgrown 20 gallon long so I could take plant clippings from there...

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations as far as fish go? Also how do you light acclimate the corals? I would probably have to change my water to a reef mix before getting coral too right? I have instant ocean right now lol

Hey everyone!:fish2: So I am almost a year into my tank now! But, I currently have only one clownfish in a huge 55 gallon tank! My levels are great with nitrates 10 or below and I have plenty of live rock. I have two taotronic panels now that I got as a gift and would also like beginner coral...

Sorry for hijacking but I have the same question actually but for a different tank. I have a 55 gallon that is 30 inches wide and 24 inches tall. Do I need 1 or two 120 watt units?

In the beginning I'm going to start with softies and then slowly get more different types. What are good suggestions for beginner corals? I have about 1.2 lbs/gallon of rock right now.

Is two dimmable 120 watt taotronics tt-al09 over a 30 inch wide by 24 inches tall 55 gallon tank sufficient light for most corals?:thanks:

I have owned a FOWLR tank for about 5 months that is well established and its levels are stable. The question is, how do I go reef? I have planned on getting 2 taotronics dimmable tt-al09 but I am open to ideas, and for additives I'm probably getting reef code a+b. What is a good brand for...

How do you properly trim a stem plant?

Anyone?!!

I have perlite and miracle grow potting mix laying around... Will any of these soils work for a dirted tank?

So now I have a million snails, 1 oto, and 5 neon tetras. Could I add 1 more neon and on top of that put in maybe a celestial pearl danio? Just an idea...

So would I need two 120W dimmables for my tank?

So I'm thinking about going for either taotronics or reefbreeders or some sort of low end led. I have a 56 gallon tank that is 24'' tall and 30'' long and 18'' deep. Would 2 dimmable 120W units be enough light to grow lps and sps? Also what ratio of blues to whites is preferred? Thank you I am a...

So that's a no for taotronics? I've seen people get great results with them and for the money I could get two... Could this grow sps?

I'm thinking about putting RCS in my 10 gallon planted tank. Problem is I already have 5 neons and an Otto in there. Will they eat the RCS or the shrimplets that I will have eventually?

Ok great! Last variable is lighting. Any suggestions there? Also anyone have fast growing beginner coral suggestions? Thank you so much.

I have one power head that does its job for now. Im getting another before getting the corals. For lights I'm thinking either 2 led units of 1 4 bulb t5ho unit. I want beginner softies, sps, and mushroom coral eventually. What is a good hob skimmer? What are good brands for additives?

Ok it's a 56 gallon tank that is 30 W 18 inches deep and 24 inches tall. It has 1 clownfish and 1 six line wrasse along with a cleaner shrimp and a few hermits and snails. I have everything except a skimmer, lights, and additives that I would need to add corals. By the way, I don't want to do a...

I have a FOWLR tank that has been up and running for 2 months now and would like to get some beginner corals. Any suggestions for lighting and additives for the corals are very much appreciated! Thanks.

Picked up new wisteria for the tank. Tons more growth also
