I just hooked up a fluval fx5 to my 120g discus tank, and Im thinking I'd love a canister filter for my 30g (deep) salt water setup to replace the aquaclear/powerhead combo Im currently using. I know its better to go bigger for filtration with salt water- but would a 405 be too much? Thanks...

We moved and my 31lbs of liverock died out. I put it into my 30g with water and a powerhead and Im letting it do its thing. Ammonia, nirites, and nitrates are are obscenly high, so Im hoping it's cycling? Thoughts on on cycling with dead liverock? I bought 14 more lbs and will use some to...

Put it all in the 10g with a powerhead and heater- my 36w CP light, nano-sized powerhead and filter come today. I wouldnt usually ever add a fish to a...

We moved recently and Im setting up my tanks. The gravel was moist, but not wet (and full of grimey goodies)- so I imagine this might be speeding up the cycle (or Im starting part way in?) Ammonia is at .5 and nitrates are 20. Nitrites are 0. I cant tell if my tank is just full of junk or if...

silly question maybe.... I've got a tank with crushed coral but want to add live sand. I can just pour the sand right in over it? Im not going to get poison gas bubbles or fish that cant tolerate a mix of crushed coral and sand? :lol:

Hi all, We moved recently and while the tanks came along, the fish couldn't. I've been keeping fish for ~15 years now, and growing up my family was very involved in the local club. I've usually had at least 1 community tank, 1 African, and 1 discus tank running for the last 5 years. Just this...
