So I've had this idea for quite some time now! I am remodeling the house next year, making it super contemporary :cool:, so this is definitely something that has a good chance of happening. The idea is two large cylindrical tanks next to each other, one SW and the other FW. but for now, we'll...

I was just thinking about Auto Top Offs. I thought "what about instead of having it be an automatic top off, what if it was a way to top off without having to place your trust in a float switch". so I kept thinking. and thinking. and thinking. until finally I came up with an idea. here it is...

okay so I want to make a closed loop system WITHOUT DRILLING HOLES. My goal in my aquarium adventure is to minimize equipment in my tank for aesthetic reasons, and so that I dont have a bunch of stuff in the tank taking up space for the fish and stuff. So Im wondering, how do you make this...

okay so I was searching through the threads on rock, and then I realized that I really had no idea what the difference between base rock and live rock is. is base rock just dead live rock? or is it live rock that has only a little "liveness" (is that even a word?) in it? im confused.

I am looking for a powerhead, and then realized that I have no idea how powerful it should be. so I remembered that there was a thread in the "Getting Started- Saltwater" section of the forums about all the things you need for a saltwater tank. so i looked at what it said about powerheads and it...

Okay so i want an air pump, but i need one that is QUIET! it cant be loud. any reccomendations?
