I thought I would start a new thread for the new tank and stand. My plan is to keep the AquaIllumination led lights for now as well as my controller, heater, ATO. I'm building the stand in place. Next step add plywood everywhere.

I got in some ludwigia inclinata "Cuba" in its emersed form. They are bunched with the lead clip, can I just drop them down like that or should I plant them? There are little to no roots on the stem. When I get plants on weights that have some roots I take the weight off and planted them...

Just what it says, I need some foreground interest in the tank! Can't find this anywhere online :(

I am switching over to freshwater in my tank so there are things I don't need to run fresh. I am open to trades for freshwater like big driftwood pieces, plants, certain fish. I'm in Ohio, Cleveland/Akron area. Chaeto with stars and bristles in it, $5 for all I have in sump, probably gallon...

So I Used a QT for everyone in my tank, last fish added mid May after QT and doing tank transfer method for ich and prazipro for flukes, etc. spent 5+ months between QT and treating fish before putting anyone in my tanks. Now ich or velvet has shown up. Here is my engineer goby: So he, the...

I have 150+ lbs of aragonite sand (used as DSB) for free, needs rinsed. Switched to bigger sand for a shallow sand bed in my new tank. Local pick up only, Medina OH.

I have two packs of marineland emperor size E filter cartridges for a total of 8. They sell for $9.99 for a pack of 4. I will sell both packs for $10 total, willing to ship, I'm in Ohio. Thanks.

I bought this and used it on my 72g tank in a 20 gallon sump that I have sold. It made using a filter sock easy. It has a bulkhead on it so you can directly attach your overflow plumbing to it and have it secure in the sump. I used my bulkhead attachment, so this one is not used. Cleaned in...

For those that have one, do you recommend placing rock on the bottom or putting it on PVC for this fish? I'm going to a frag-a-thon tonight and I'm trading some zoas for him. Also, I plan on covering my makeshift QT (going to put sand and rock in there for him) for a few days, but read they...

Pulled these off my snails, they were along the edge of the snails. I will look at my clam tonight after lights go out to see if they are on it. Pyramid snails?

I have this piece of malaysian driftwood from my freshwater tank that I broke down. It's 10.5" long and 6.5" at the widest part. I will ship. $8 for the piece and $6.15 shipped priority.

I had my new foxface and kole tang in my QT with .35-.50 cupramine for four weeks, plus one week getting the amount up to that level. During week two kole tang got spots, they went away and came back during week four. However she then accidentally got stung by the foxface and died (fins were...

I am looking to breakdown my freshwater tank and want to first find new homes for my fish. I have mixed guppies and guppy fry, 3 zebra dannos, also a female dwarf gourami that I special ordered. Three ghost shrimp and lots of snails. All fish are healthy and no fish have been added for over...

It will be a few weeks before my tank gets here as it is getting made now by Innovative Plastics. I did a lot of research in designing the tank based on what I liked and did not like on my existing tank and the cube I had before. The major thing would have to be sound, I hate the overflow...

I got some of these with my tank and was wondering if they had a name, they are growing to be about an inch each and glow neon green in the centers under blue LEDs.

I bought a bunch of things for the new tank off CL and realized I bought two controllers, I don't need one for my lights, and this thing does lights, temperature, pH, controls your powerheads and has feeding cycle. It has a temp probe with it, and a direct connect 8 with you can control up to 8...

Selling my echotech MP40 pump, works great, old style controller, but upgrade kits are available if you want the newer style controller. I have used it since June, but selling it as I'm going to do different powerheads with wave maker in my 180. Currently in my 72 and when I put it in, my...

So, I have a Kole Tang in my 20g QT, bare bottom, no rock, just filter and heater. This is the same type of fish (different store) that wiped out my tank with ICH before I knew to use QT. I'm trying to come up with a QT protocol that I can live with. I worry after watching the fish for a few...

So I'm going to be doing a 180 gallon reef, and wanted to do some planning while I figure out where to get it and where to put it. So my first question is for you long time reefers 5+years of a tank running (I want to set this up and have it run for a few decades, lol) should I do a 2" sandbed...

Read on here awhile back to do lights on and off for four hours to get rid of algae growth. I did that and algae is gone. Do I always do this or can I adjust the lighting to be on more? Also, I have it on 4 off 4 on 4 then off 12. Thanks!
