Went to the beach today and despite the legal technicalities I may have crossed I picked up a few periwinkles off the shore (I think that's what they're called- it's the "cone/oval" shaped shells that burry themselves into the sand) and a few live rocks-I think it's live rock but if not then its...

Starting a 29G SW. What's the recommended gph from a powerhead? Also what's the best API testing kit to get? Saltwater master or reef master?

Trying to build a budget tank here and with college bills adding up I unfortunately can't add top of the line name brand equipment to my tank at the moment so a quick search on amazon and I get a 800gph by tech'n'toy 16.09 and a super vp-110 530gph by sunsun for 15.99. Any suggestions or...

Ok I got one person say at the most have 580gph an the other saying at the least have 600gph. -_-

How much flow is recommended for a tank that size?

Excuse my newbness but what's gfo. And is a powerhead rated at 170 gph for $22 good or bad? (I meant to say powerhead not a skimmer in my original post)

Starting a 29G SW from supplies from a FW tank. So far I've got the water, sand, salt, a few pounds of rock, and a raw shrimp in there. Using left over equipment just for the cycling process I hooked up your standard, base model FW filter, a regent 10-20G filter and a 5-10G filter. So from what...

That's what thought :/ and I haven't decided yet. Most likely it will be planted though

I don't wanna do betta fish that's for sure. I was thinking of some guppies and something else (something small that is). Do you think it would be possible to keep any plecos in a tank this size? I would really love to because I really like plecos? What about a black ghost knife fish or a...

I already have a tank so I know the whole process so please spare me of that, but I'm heading off to college in a month and would love to have a tank in my dorm. I can't have a tank over 10 Gal, so any suggestions on what I should put in it?

Thanks geronica, because it is very frustrating to have out all the time and effort, not to mention money into it only to have die in a few days...

Ok so I'll put the heater in. And I just got home from work and my last guppy has died :(

Around 69. So tank a good amount of it out and just refill with new water???

Here's how it all began about a month ago I purchased two new fish from a different pet store. After they were added I believe they exposed the tank to something and it wiped it out. Roughly a week and a half ago I went to the family creek and caught the three darters. About four days ago I went...

Are there any plecos that would fit in my tank? Also what's a good but reasonably priced water tester to get?
