Thanks all. Think I'll leave things alone to begin with so. Will look at filter socks, etc though.

Hi all, So I've finally got around to setting up my tank and it is currently cycling for the last two weeks. Diatoms have started to appear but ammonia is still high so not ready for livestock yet. Its an AquaOne Nano 40 tank with integrated filter. I've 3.5kg of live rock in the tank and am...

Hi all, Put this up on a another forum also but didn't get any feedback there so I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice. After a recent health scare, i've decided to take the plunge and set up my first salt water aquarium. Was going to do this a number of times over the last few years...

Does anyone know anything good about the Red Sea line of tanks? I'm thinking of buying one here at present. Red Sea 130 which holds about 36 gallons. Thanks in advance. And yes, I'm a :n00b: Andy

Thanks for the replies guys. So if I'm understanding right, the Juwel T5 Hi-Lites are good for FOWLR and later on reef without having to upgrade? Andy

Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up my first marine tank at the moment. I used to keep freshwater for many years and then gave up when I left America. I've decided that I want to get back into it but with marines instead. But ... things have changed since I last looked at these things...

Hi all, A mate and I have been having an arguement over the last few days over the addition of two additional fish to his tank. I've not yet set my tank up as I'm moving into my new house in January and decided to wait until then. He has a 105 gallon tank with sump, skimmer, etc. Besides a...

Is it possible to over skim your tank? I'm in the process of putting my shopping list together (and applying for a second martage to pay for it all) and was wondering if I should just buy the biggest skimmer I can afford? My tank is going to be about 400 litres (125 gallons or thereabouts) and...

Thats looks like a ready made sump? if so, what type is it? I'm starting to think about a sump for my own first set-up thanks

The tank size has actaully gotten smaller so I think I will just be aiming for the 2 black and white clownfish. See my other post in this section. Pity ... would have looked great but not good for the fish.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not thinking about corals for the time being. I think I will want to expand into them at a later stage but for the time being I would rather get myself back to speed to without everything else confusing me. They also seem to need a bit of experience which I need to...

WARNING ! :n00b: ALERT. Right, This is my first saltwater set-up but am looking for something for my new house. I used to keep tropical freshwater for years when living in America but gave up when my mother came back to Ireland. Finally set up my old 90 gallon tank at home about two weeks...

HI all, I'm starting to plan my first saltwater tank at the moment :n00b:. Decided that it will go great with the new house I just purchased I had a few tropcal tanks for years but gave them up when I moved out of the parents place. I would like to have a marine tank (FOWLR to begin with...
