    Currently my QT setup is two 20L tanks one for fish and one for coral. I was wanting to combine both of them into one tank maybe a 30L or something close to that and putting in glass dividers so there are 3 sections. I was thinking of drilling 1/4" holes in the glass. Has anyone tried this I'm...

    Trio of fish

    After finally getting my tank cycled properly I am wanted to add a trio of fish to my aquarium. I know chromis will kill the weaker and I don't like the look of cardinals. I was wondering if there are any blennies or something else that foes good in groups of 3 for my 75? Any opinions would be...

    High trates

    I recently set up a 75 but filled it about 50% with water from my old 75 and my nitrates have been up in the 80 range for about a week and a half. I've changed 40 gallons in a week and they still have not came down. My test is not old and reads zero when I test fresh saltwater. I have 2 clowns...

    Bare bottom predator tank

    I have a 75 gallon tank and am going to go bare bottom with dry rock. I am wanting to know how this will work out. Do I still cycle the same, and will I have higher ammonia levels since no sand? I think of it as a quarantine tank at the moment no where for bacteria to grow and ammonia levels...

    75 gallon reef build

    I was going to do this build back in the fall of last year, it was going to be a upgrade build from a 20 Long but the tank had crashed due to my stupidity of doing a water change and accidentally pouring a whole 5 gallon bucket of straight ro/di water into the tank. So now I am back to the...

    Craigslist

    I really hate it when people in Craigslist take 24 hours just to email you back. By the time you are wanting to buy the item you get sorry sold. It really grinds my gears.

    Tangs.

    I know most people say no tang should be in 6ft tanks. I want to say I absolutely hate that rule and don't like whoever came up with it. Now I'm not saying you can keep one in a 20 gallon. I'm going to be adding a sailfin that isn't no bigger than a 50 cent coin into a 75 gallon. You can keep...
