If i were to do a 10 gallon in my stand ( would have to figure out how to get it in) i'd need the overflow, tubing, 10g tank, and return pump. Any other equipment? I'm worried about the price for overflows and pumps too, college doesnt leave me with much to spend on this.

So right now i've had my 20H setup for 6 months and it is doing very well. I've been thinking of adding a refuge. A separate sump/refuge is most likely not going to happen since im on a budget. Either i'd like to add a hob refuge or i have the option of getting a custom tank. A friend from the...

Yeah, they are not baby snails after all. I can see baby snails in my aquarium on the glass. What i described is still unknown to me, they were alive and moving and really just looked like slugs(antenne and all). I have now since removed the filter, cleaned in out and threw some cheato in there.

While cleaning out my hob filter, i noticed many little white slug creatures in it. Are these baby snails that havn't got shells yet? or something to be worried about.

I figured as much about keeping an anemone. All i know is that i dont have the budget to upgrade to halides. Figure i'll do more research and see if anything is compatible.

I have a 20 gal tank. And am wondering if it's possible to grow chaeto in a HOB filter?? Was thinking it might work to put some ls and rock rubble in the hob and then stock w/ some chaeto? Would that interfere with a carbon filter? tia
