I want to free up some room in the living room, and nothing currently inhabits it, so I have a free tank and stand (no canopy) if someone wants it. You simply have to have a means to pick it up. Perhaps a trade for some frags would be cool, but if not, no problem, either way the tank and stand...

I thought these fish were supposed to be hardy? Tank (75g) has been set up for over three months, with live rock, etc. All levels (ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, salinity, etc) are fine. I QTed 6 chromis for two weeks, then put them in my newly setup main tank (fed by shrimp every other day)...

I have a 75g tank, 35 gallon sump, and a 300w Hagen heater in the sump. I currently don't have my lights set up yet, the room is quite cool, and the tank is currently cycling. My problem is that even though I have my heater set close to 90 (I want a constant 80 if possible), the temp of my new...

Tank is a 75g with 30g sump. I'm going to set up a reef tank, and so far here is my wishlist: Six Line Wrasse Royal Gramma Yellowstripe Maroon clownfish (6) Blue-green chromis I know this site has a calculator, but IMO it isn't too helpful, as the fish listed on the popular...

1. The return pump of my sump is a mag5 with vinyl tubing that eventually elbows into the tank. However, when the power of the pump is turned off, it starts to work as a reverse syphon, returning water to the sump. Is there a way to correct this? 2. The water going to my sump is via a HOB...

I tried to run PVC pipe from my tank to the sump, and even though I wore a mask the fumes were making me ill, so I did a rushed job. Some of the PVC primer and cement ran down into the pipe, and it's pretty much impossible to get rid of (as it's inbetween a couple of sections). The primer and...

I have close to 100 lbs of live sand (a mix of reef caribsea aragonite and fine grain crushed coral) I would like to get rid of, as I'm setting up a smaller tank and only want a couple of inches in the new tank. The sand has been seeded in a reef tank for nearly a year. No copper or medications...

I only have about 1-2 inches of sand in my main tank (a 75g) and don't really want anymore in the main tank. My sump is a 35g rubbermaid. Is it feasible to have a DSB in the sump, or is it really not worth it?

I have a 35g rubbermaid sump and I was wondering what I can place the heater on so that it doesn't melt the plastic. Or will it be ok if the suction cups lose suction and the heater is placed on the plastic? TIA

I have an overflow rater for 300-500 gallons. What size pump should I use to pump the water back into the tank? I was thinking of maybe a Mag5? The tank is 75gallons, sump is 30 gallons, and the top of the tank is 5 feet up and 6 feet lateral from the pump.

Does anyone have any good info on a good overflow for a 75 gallon (and what I would need to use it)? Also, can someone point me to good DIY info for building a sump using a plastic trashcan for a newbie? I know very little about plumbing and sumps. Thanks!

My wife hates the size of our 120, and so I was looking for a smaller tank, perhaps a 75. I saw a real good deal on a 70 combo with an overflow, but it was a tall version. I plan on doing a FOWLR with maybe a few shrooms, leathers and similar. I have MH lighting but it is waaaaay too much...

Hello, I will be setting up a 110g reef tank soon, and I feel I have everything needed to get started. However, I was wondering if anyone here has some recommendations for a good sea salt and a good test kit? The brands I mostly see around here are oceanic, instant ocean, and coralife.
