Thanks for the info. I've got a couple of things I now know to try, so I'll do that and see how it goes. Autumnsky, honestly, I should have recognized that as your signature.

I considered using a neoprene pad. Something like 2mm to 4mm that the glass sits on instead of directly on top of the stand. I have a tank exactly that same size. I didn't use neoprene on it, but thought of it. The installers had never heard of it and didn't think I should do it. Later they...

Autumnsky, I just read another post of yours and realized the reference to rules is part of your signature. I thought I had done something wrong. :)

Autumnsky, thank you so much! I have been researching and can't find anything contrary to what you said. Since you referred me to posting rules, I hope I didn't break one. If I did, I'm sorry. Please point it out to me. I have Fluval lights on in the aquarium 10 hours a day, 1pm to 11pm. I...

I have a 180 gal freshwater tank. I converted it from saltwater in mid-July of this year. I have a sump that holds approximately 30 gal, but could hold 60 gal if full. To help with filtering, I put in a lot of 2x2x2 Marine Pure ceramic blocks, along with an 8x8x4 block, in the sump. The...

Coursair, thanks! I may have to skip the clown loaches. Maybe that’s why we’ve not been able to keep them. We’ve not used smooth substrate. I’m not sure about the new stuff, but am still considering sand too. We do have a reef tank. I thought the blue at night would be pretty. I’ll...

Autumnsky and Toolman, thank you for the info! I have known the pH of our tap water, but don’t remember. I don’t refill from the tap; I use RO water. We use a service for cleaning and water changes generally, and they do use the tap with some type of treatment for it. With this new...

It's your aquarium. Put in it what you like. I have had a galleon-type ship and a pirate-type ship. I happen to like a sunken ship in the bottom. Though I have a freshwater tank, I want it to look like ocean. I'm getting ready to upgrade my tank. Where was the ship pictured earlier found?

I’d like some advice on a few topics. After having a 75-gallon freshwater reef-ready for 13.5 years, I’m planning to upgrade to a 150-gal, freshwater reef tank. I don’t consider myself an aquarium expert at all. I have a company that comes out and cleans it. I have them rearrange the...

Hi everyone. I've had a 75 gallon reef-ready freshwater aquarium for 13+ years. I had to take it down to re-do our floors, and we still have to paint before I put it back up. Instead of putting it back up, I'm going to upgrade to a 150 gal. I think it will be 2-4 weeks before it's up. I...
