I gave up the idea of taking an aquarium back and forth to college. So, now i have a 8g biocube that's home to a few shrooms, zoos, and GSP. Any suggestions? I'm considering both saltwater and freshwater. I just have this urge to spend money. I'm thinking if i did freshwater planted i would be...

After my experiences with damsels, I told myself I'd never get another one. But now my dad wants some. We have a 75 gallon FOWLR with a lone 2"-3" Huma Trigger. It looks barren and lonely. He wants to put hardy, colorful, and active fish in it to brighten it up a little. Any suggestions...

I felt that I've been extra good this year, so I picked these up as a Christmas present for myself. Hammer/Anchor Coral. The base is ~6-7" At the store: 2 Days after: Devil's Hand: And my new Mandarin :) It's been living in my LFS's coral tank. I don't think it eats frozen foods, but I...

Hey AA, I traded 4 damsels for a 2" red tail cat a few weeks ago. Just found out how big these guys get. HOLY BUCKETS!!!! 5' seems a little much. Is this how big they are in the wild or in private aquariums? What is the minimum and recommended tank size for these whoppers? 250g-300g is my...

I started a tank build on another site, but I figured I owed something to the online forum that got me started in the hobby. Just bought an Oceanic 8 gallon BioCube yesterday for $131 shipped on eBay! The University has a 10 gallon limit on fish tanks :( so I settled for an 8g AIO. I was...

After the ice storm in February that wiped out all my SW tanks, I was convinced I'd put up SW fish until after I graduated college. But, my parents somehow convinced me that I couldn't live without them; they were right! I've spent the last two months preparing my tanks, and now, I'm going to...

I recently acquired a harem of Dispar Anthias and a somewhat small Sailfin Tang. I was initially afraid of buying the Anthias as they are typically skiddish and are difficult to get eating, but both the Sailfin and Anthias ate immediatel; like pigs at that. Thought I would share with the rest...

So I've finally finished stocking my 75 gallon tank with fish, and now I'm diverting my attention to coral. Currently, I have the 4x56 watt (216 watts total) T-5 HO Nova Extreme light fixture for some LPS, zoos, and mushrooms. I'm waning to upgrade the lights by running two or 3 150W K-2 Viper...

So I went from a 20 gallon tank to a 75 gallon tank all in 2 months. Now, I want to jump to a 300 gallon tank so I have 2 questions... 1.) Where can I go to buy a 300 gallon tank? I live in a tiny tiny town in Kentucky and the largest tank around here is a 150 gallon at petsmart. 2.)What kind...

I've been looking around for a good, accurate test kit for a reef aquarium. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for exactly because I've read that to keep a reef tank going you need many trace elements like strontium, iodine/iodide, magnesium, etc. Is there a test kit that tests for all of...

I need help determining what corals i can keep in my 75 gallon tank. My lighting consists of a Nova Extreme 48" fixture T5HO 4x54 watt (2 10k daylight and 2 actinic) total 216 watts. I'm running fluval 405 and 305 cannister filters with a Coralife 220 needle-wheel superskimmer. Ammonia...

I was hoping to upgrade my 20 gallon saltwater tank as I at first thought that it would suffice...but then i contracted a sort of fever to where I just wanted to put more and more in it which led me to buying a used 75 gallon tank out of the classified section of a newspaper for $90. My...
