Thanks Jeffrey - I like the look of killies and was definitely considering them for some variety. Should be plenty of room somewhere in that 75g for a few of these guys!

I'm setting up a 75g with predominately smaller fish (guppies/platies/mollies, etc). I currently have a Fluval 404 from a previous setup, but my fish were much larger in that tank (barbs, plecos, catfish). I'm wondering if the output of the 404 is going to generate too much current for the...

Thanks for helpful links - appreciate the info! Any thoughts on a relatively peaceful community fish that will help keep the guppy frye... umm... limited? (Not sure if that's even an acceptable practice, but hey... like I said, I'm new to the world of guppies) I'm looking for the colors and...

Hey there - not new to aquariums, but new to the kind of setup I'm looking to do. I have a 75 sitting idle right now, and my idea is to put together a very colorful tank with mostly guppies/mollies/danios/swordtails. I know these guys will all get along for the most part, but what else can I...

Not planning on starting with corals. The tank will be FOWLR. Is supplemental filtration needed for a FOWLR? or is the LR enough to do the trick, with the right circulation? I think I'd still like to do a sump, just to get the clutter out of the tank and provide a little extra water...

skins - thanks for the info! I'll check them out when I get the chance. I've been like a zombie wandering around stores the last couple of weeks. pretty overwhelming sometimes! Here's another sump question for the general population - Is a separate pump necessary for a sump? Or, can you...

Yeah, I want to keep the heater/skimmer, etc in a hidden sump, to keep the display tank less cluttered. Doesn't seem too complicated - set up an overflow on the main tank - rig/valve an appropriately sized pump in the sump to return water... voila. Maybe add some extra lr bits in the sump for...

Hi everyone - total saltwater newb here. I have a 75g fw turtle setup, but there's an empty 55g in the basement gnawing at me. Decided to fill it with something, and the girlfriend threatened immediate singledom if I got a lizard or snake. So... I figured that I have too much time and money...

I've thought about building/buying a hood or top to cover the whole thing, but I haven't come up with a workable solution yet. One side has a basking lamp over a slate shelf that I built into the aquarium. The shelf is at water level, two sides fixed to the glass, and the front corner...

J - it looks exactly like the aquarium you posted in the Fluval 404 thread (http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=52174) same divider. there's a little bit of a line down the middle... not sure if it's the same 'groove' you mentioned. You think an all-glass hood would fit? the frame...

Hi - I have a 75 gal tank set up for two turtles. The top frame has a divider down the middle, and is designed to take two 24" hoods. I didn't buy the hoods when I got the aquarium, thinking that the old one I had would fit. Come to find out, the frame is an odd-size, and for the last year or...
