This is a thought of mine that I've been rolling around for a while now... I would love any feedback that I can get on this: I've used a UGF for a few years now and seem pretty satisfied with the results of a UGF and a Power Filter in combination. I'm now to the point where I'm either going to...

I've been reading the DIY forum and Garf.org a lot lately. I think instead of buying a tank and overflow setup, I'll just build my own. I'm pretty mechanically inclined so I don't think it would be a problem. The biggest and probably the only thing that worries me is bonding acrylic. I've...

Hey everyone, I've had a freshwater tank for years now. I've only kept fish in the tank and have had to clean the gravel on the bottom every month to two months. My Oscars and Pacus are apparently very messy. Anyway, onto the question... I'm wanting to get some snails to help with some of the...

Ok. Since I'm reading into everything before I actually do a saltwater setup, I've read quite a bit about the benefits of a refugium and a sump. So far everyone has said ignore a trickle filter and just do a refugium. I'm definitely thinking about adding one. I have an old 30 gal freshwater...

I've kept freshwater tanks for years now so I've decided to go ahead and take the plunge and set up a saltwater tank. I've heard that the larger the salt tank is, the easier it can be. I've got plenty of room in my house for it and a local pet store is giving me a great deal on a 150 gal tank...
