Looking for some ideas to add to my fowlr setup. Hoping to have it up amd running this weekend. Tearing down my 235 reef setup. Using the live rock in this setup and adding another 130 lbs after its cycled. All I know that we really want is an emporer angel, and a dog faced puffer. Also...

Are there any glass specialist or aquarium builders on here anywhere? I'm want to drill my 265 bit I'm kind of leary about doing it. I've drilled smaller tanks in the past without a problem. This 1 though is 3 ft tall which to me tells me that's alot of pressure on the glass. The glass is...

I have recently set up a 135 gallon reef tank with 100 gallon sump 150 lbs of dry marco rock. Cycled it. Been running now for little more than 2 months. Had my diatom bloom all was good up until the beginning of this week.. please tell me this isn't what I think it is.... Sent from my...

I have recently cured 80 lbs of fiji rock. Had it in a tote of saltwater with 2 circulation pumps and a heater for 3 months. Changed the water 3 times. It's now all good to go but when I tested the water recently phosphates were high. My question is: if I add some of this rock to my setup is...

I'm fairly new to keeping corals but I've recently purchased a frag plug that has 10 small polyps on it and they're so close together... my question is will they eventually spread out and grow fatter? Any tips or tricks? Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

What test kits does everyone recommend?? I've had a freshwater setup for years and have been using the api kit. Is the saltwater one ok? Or is there a better one? Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm in the process of setting up my first sw tank! Yay me! I have used crushed coral in the past for african cichlid setups and that stuff is a pain to clean. .. just wondering wondering how others rinse the aragonite and if there's anything different I need to do rather than using straight tap...

Which rodi system does everyone use? I'm in the market for one and would like some experienced feedback. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It's still a thought but a serious one. I've always wanted to do it. And things are starting to fall into place for me. My biggest concern is the tanks dimensions and what lighting systems I should go with? I'm assuming LEDs but which ones? How many? The tanks footprint is 72"x24" and...

Hi I'm wondering if there is such thing as an overflow box that I can use on my 265 that is euro braced and I do not want to drill holes in the glass... Worst case scenario I "can" (but don't want to) drill the holes in one of the ends.. I've built the tank as a bar and have all sides exposed...

I have a 265 gallon aquarium dimensions are 72"l x 24w x 36 t. I added euro braces to it about 3 weeks ago and 1 cracked on me this past Friday.. Just looking for suggestions on how other aquariums this size are braced?. This particular aquarium did not have any braces on it when I acquired...

I was in the middle of doing a wc this morning when I popped open 1 of my canister filters I had about 20 of these little guys living in it somehow!!! They're lucipinnis catfish fry! I have 3 full grown in my show tank apparently they're breeding!

There's a pinkish white growth on my vc10's fin. Don't know what it is. Any ideas? He seems fine. Healthy, active,etc. here's a couple pics. I apologize for the quality.

I picked up a large aquarium on the weekend and it came with these rather large glass boulders. They aren't sharp by no means. Just wondering if they would be safe to use? I don't think there would be a problem but I wanted to run it by you guys first. Heres a couple of pics

I have a 6' tank dimensions are 6'Lx2'Wx3'T yes 3' tall! It has NO bracing on it whatsoever. Glass is only 5/8" thick too. I certainly want to add bracing to it just not sure what adds the best structural support. I can do 2 cross braces 1 every 2' or should I do euro bracing? Or a combo of...

Just a question about how to construct my stand for this bad boy! I'm planning on just making a base for it to sit on out of 2x6's or something along that line and then adding a walnut moulding for looks afterwards but should I put a pc of plywood on the base for the tank to sit on so it's nice...

So I purchased a couple haps on the weekend and added them to my tank acclimating them over just shy of 2 hours. I looked at my tank this morning and noticed that those 2 haps and another fish which was already in my tank have ich on them... So I slowly raised the temp in the aquarium to 83-84...

I know eventually I will need to upgrade my filtration but I am wondering if for now what I have will work. I currently have a 110 gallon with 2 xp3's and 1 fluval 404. Overkill for the 110 for sure bit will it be enough to support the 265 for now? I'm gonna be putting 2 maxijet 600's on there...

I know I will need to upgrade eventually but right now I have 2 xp3's and a fluval 404. Would those filters and a couple of maxijets be ok to run a 265 gallon aquarium? Would have 15 African cichlids in it, ranging in size form 2 1/2"-5". Eventually would like either 2 xp4's or fx5.

I'm potentially getting a 270 gallon aquarium and I have a couple of questions/concerns and was hoping someone here may be able to help. The dimensions are 72"L x 36"T x 24"W. once it's all full with water and all deco and stand it would probably be close to 3500 lbs. it would be going on my...

What are some ways to tell if I have a male lemon jake? Recently bought some fry/juvi's and a couple have yellow tips on their dorsal fin. Wondering if this is a sign of male or not?

So I bought 8 lemon jakes 1 1/2" from a fairly reputable store in my area last thursday. Get them home, acclimate them slowly and put them in my 40 gallon which has 2 red top lwandas roughly same size in it. Wake up the next day to find I lost a lemon jake. It was the biggest of the group. Next...

Just wondering if I'd be able to use a fluval 204 as a secondary filter but without the media baskets? It was given to me without baskets and just thought I'd inquire. I pretty much just wanna have it for more BB.
