I have a 110 gallon acryllic tank. Im planning to go reef with this tank but it'd be a casual upgrade to reef. Im trying to decide between two 4 bulb 60" t5 fixtures or one 60" halide fixture. The tank is 24" tall and i feel like halides would be overkill especially since the fixture has 3...

Seems its my turn to ask how to get rid of my Cyano outbreak. I've cut back feeding, watch my light timing, tried scrubbing some of it off during water changes, all the things i was told so far. I have not tried and chemicals since i can't find them but am willing to try. I have a 4 bulb fixture...

Im wondering what are some good beginner corals to have? This is for my 20 gallon that im running while i finish up my bigger tank.

I have a general idea and concept of how to get my project started and im still finalizing plans. My hopes is to get a better knowledge of clownfish behavior and breeding while trading fry for store credit and funding my bigger tank :D. I still have a million questions of course and was...

Recently bought two feather dusters and placed them in my tank where flow isnt to high but they'll be sure to catch phyto when i put it in. However one of my feather dusters has been hiding for a few days and im wondering how i could coax it to come out? Thanks in advance.

Since im in the process of finishing up my 110 gallon build and things arent quite going as smoothly or quickly as planned i turned my old 20g into a fowlr and thought id share with the rest of AA. I had the idea of a small "ecosystem" style tank without corals since funds are minimal but i...

Need to build a sump for my new 110, i happen to have an old 55 gallon to use. Does anyone have a link for building sumps? Or experience they can share for me? Thanks in advance.

If anyone read my last thread you know i had a 90 gallon fowlr started, but found a 110 for an offer i couldnt pass up. Im getting the tank and everything to get it started later today, and we all know that means lots of pictures :P i've ordered 100lbs of base rock, the tank has 65lbs of live...

Ive read so many forums on this site of salt water tanks its pretty itimidating, all the equipment, diseases, time, money, problems. Im a little nervous for my first set up. Is there any advice people can offer? Things to watch for? Try to avoid? Fish suggestions? Any help at all would be...

My tank wont be finished and ready to stock for quite some time but it never hurts to ask your questions to early. I know a lot of places say leave lights off for a few hours after dropping in fish, but what about when i turn lights on? Should i turn my lunar lights on first then white? Should...

I know most tangs require a longer tank, approx. 6 feet i believe? I was curious if there was a tang possible to keep in a 110? If not other fish ideas are welcome :)

Debating on building a bigger sump for my 90 FOWLR before i get it running. What would be a good size? And can anyone offer good advice? Thanks in advance.

I know there's always a big debate between T-5 and LED lights. Im setting up my 90 FOWLR soon and im wondering which one would be better for viewing, possibly cost a little less, better in the long run, etc. Any stories or comparing pictures would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Im trying to find some reasonable priced lights for my new 90 im getting, could just be a fixture with no bulbs, LED will do fine too. Going to be a FOWLR but possibly reef in the future. Thanks in advance.

Im breaking down the 55 and trying to reuse all i can. Anyone think a 60 gallon approved heater is overkill for a 10 or 20 gallon. At least a temporary use?

Got lucky to come across a free 90 gallon, had a reef system for a while. I want to set up a FOWLR. As much as i've researched and as long as i plan to spend setting up this tank and trying to make it right i'm freaking out!! Im not new to fish just mainly SW. advice, info, what to look forward...

After having a bad string of luck recently i got some lucky news and found a guy giving away a 90 gallon and everything with it! FOR FREE! so i've decided to setup a nice saltwater aquarium for the house. Lets hope it goes well.

Debating on giving Tiger Barb breeding a shot, for something a little different. If anyone has any advice or has successfully bred them advice and stories would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lately ive been having some ammonia spikes in my tanks, i know i can get a chemical to help but im broke as joke, water changes dont seem to work but so much. What else can i do?

Have a 20 planted with what was 6 adult fish and 1 fry. Oddly all the females are sick, spastic and dying. Any idea what it may be? None of the fish are beat up or abused so its not due to aggressive males.

May be setting up a shrimp tank to breed some RCS. Any advice and tips would be appreciated.

Might be moving up to a 20 planted and possibly purchasing a LED light with day and lunar lights. Would this be good for my plants and what kind of lighting would it be? Low? Moderate?

How safe are home made Co2 systems, i just set mine up and they are of course slow to start up, but im not sure how healthy it is for my tank. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hello all, I have a small planted tank thats pretty much low light only. I have some asian ambulia, anubias (which variety im not sure completely), and some anacharis that seems to do alright. Im wondering what else i could get thats low to moderate light and fill in the little empty spaces i...

I have a little 5 gallon with a 25 watt bulb is that enough light for the amazon swords? They're not doing so hot right now.
