Better to use glass or acrylic. Fiberglass might do bad things if not done correctly.

forman, I don't know if this is late, but I would like a couple prices if you wouldn't mind. 90 Gallon 48x18x25 120 Gallon 48x24x25 50 Gallon 30.5x18.5x21 Tanks 100% acrylic. A black overflow in one corner (Not sure if acrylic comes in black). Matching stand and hood possibly? Shipped to...

Psst. Hover over the red link-looky things. They give acronyms and definitions.

The wattage on MH lights are insane. If you want one with low upkeep costs, go CF. CF vary from 26-55watt and still put out a very nice amount of light. The fixtures may cost a lot, but the bulbs are $5-10 and last around 12-14 months from what I gather. Much cheaper in the long run, and put...

Alright. I'm looking at a 90 gallon tank. ThatPetPlace has a 48x18x25 90gal rectangle tank for $337.99 from Oceanic. They also have a bowfront 90gal for $608.99. A bit expensive for the bowfront, so will likely just stick with the rectangular one. (If in the case that I did have enough money for...

-Do I need any type of current to keep the tank healthy, or is it just for my personal enjoyment? -Definately planning on corals. Are there really specific types of MH/CF lights that are better for different types of fishes or coral? Should I leave on a blue or uv light during the night or...

Should I leave on a blue or uv light during the night or something? -Not quite sure if Oceanic includes a sump or not. If not, does anybody have any suggestions...

Alright, what would be a good setup for a 75 gallon aquarium then? It would still be large, but also fit in more spaces. Probably a 75-gallon reef ready from Oceanic Systems. (A local retailer is selling them for $400 each) I think they come with sumps too. If not, it wouldn't break me to build...

In our old house, they did a LOT of custom work for the bar in the basement. Some parts of it were 4" thick solid oak (The lip of the bar). All of the cabinets, etc were all custom too. The cabinets in my dad's new house (Where I'm conveniently typing this from), are Brakur as well. Nice...

From what I understand now, it's better to use a sump (I already have several 5 gallon tanks that I wouldn't mind aside for the purpose), and filter it through some rocks and some filter floss. If somebody has a link with some pictures or an alternate suggestion to this, I'd appreciate it. Also...

Hello, I'm looking into a SW aquarium. I'm 14, have a lot of time on my hands, and money isn't much of an obstacle. I'd like to get a 100 gallon tank to start. I would like to have a wonderful assortment of coral and fish in the tank, and have read up about the subject a little bit. I was just...
