Here is my latest project. Its a 10g FW with a 10g sunp. I plan on adding a lot of plants and a co2 system eventually. But I want a shallow and deep water there. I only have a betta in the top tank right now and was bottom feeders in the bottom. The pump you see will be hidden soon and looking...

So I have a fluval 8g main display and a 10g planning on using as the sump/refuge. And I decided to make the 10g a deep sea theme. But I can think of a good way to pull that off. I plan on using lower lighting for a deeper effect but I don't know what to do with aquascaping or livestock. I wanna...

So I picked up a Coral Beauty today from my lfs for $12 with "pop-eye" as they guy called it. It was also quaranteened because the other fish were picking at it and created quite a large hole. I was curious what the best method of treating it is. The lfs guy recommended iodide which I purchased...

So I have a 35g hex reef tank and cant seem to get good flow. I have a hydor nano 240 gph circulator and a 12" spray bar attcched to my eheim 2217. I currently have them in the back corners facing the front pane and slightly down so it hits the front, goes down and then towards the back. i used...

So iv made my own lid for my 35g hex reef tank lid and I built a large light box that contains 4 T8 bulbs and 4 leds. The ballast are the cheap under cabinet fixtures from walmart and claim to consume 15w and output 60w but I will run coralifebulbs 2 10k and 2 actinic. The leds are again cheap...

So I obtain a lot of acrylic golf cart windshields around 1/4" thick or so. I'm planning on using a tinted one to make my lid. They split in the center with a rubber hinge so I will use that as an access door. I plan on building box on the top to house the lights (hopefully 4 T8's). I found an...

So I noticed long brown "hair" like things coming out between my rock and sand bed. I passed it off as some kind of algae and moved along. Well all of the sudden I noticed a black speck of dirt land on one of the hairs and it stuck to it, and then it moved! It "reeled it in" so to speak pulling...

So basicly I set the tank up in august and am not completely happy with it. I plan on moving everything to a 20g and rebuilding everything. I currently have a canister filter but am working on building a sump and fuge. I will also be placing eggcrates down to support my rock. My Dragon Goby...

So basicly I work at a golf cart customizing shop and I aquire a lot of old used windsheilds. Mainly scuffed and tinted but I think I can buff the scuff out. The main problem is they are only around 1/8" thick. So is there any way to glue two together and still be clear?

So basicly I'm wworking on making a new light for my 35g hex reef tank. I crammed 3 t8 bulbs into my existing hood and now I'm working on a cover for it. I know acrylic and glass filter out wave lenghts but what about saran wrap? Iv already tried it and it doesn't melt it but I wonder if its...

So basicly I picked up the tank and background from a lfs for $10 and built everything else. I routed the intake for my homebuilt canister filter through the back of the background and under the sand. The heater is also under the sand. The return on the filter hangs from above abd pours in and...

Any ideas?

This is my 35g hex I'm working on. I'm running a Eheim 2217 and currently 3 T8 but I'm about to make a new lin from acrylic that will fit either 4 T8's or maybe 6 T5's. The current livestock is a feather duster, GSP, condy anenome, texas trash, unknown zoa, kenya tree leather, birds nest, 2...

So I bought a few corals and as I was dipping then I noticed a small starfish on my zoan colony. I immedietly pulled it out and put it in my tank. I originally thought they were baby brittle stars but now I'm not so sure. I'm worried they are they kind that eat coral and multiply like crazy...

Ok so I have a new 35g hex SW with a eheim 2215 canister and a "aquarium systems" protein skimmer. I plan on adding coral once I upgrade my lighting but for now I can't decide what fish I should stock it with. I considered jus keeping 1 fu-man-chu lionfish but I think I would rather have a few...

Sorry if this has been asked before but I am setting up a 10g nano and I was planning on making my own light setup but I noticed petco sells mini atnic and day light compact flo. To fit a standard lid. They are 10w 6500k bulbs and I would get 2 but I'm not sure whether they would be enough. What...

So basicly I was inspired by Flossy to make a bubble gum machine or similiar tank. I saw this in my moms living room so I told her about it and she gladly gave it to me (she was tired of lookin at it). I sealed the bottom with clear plastic and hot glue. It appears to hold water just fine and...

So my grandma gave me an old 55g and stand. I currently have a 29g with a custom wet/dry filter I made myself out of a storage bin. Its really to much filter for this small of a tank. So I can't decide whether I should rob it and set it up on my 55 or just buy a HOB for it. Would you guys...

So basicly I wanted to built a wet/dry sump system for my 29g but i didn't wanna but an expensive over flor nor did I want to make a cheap looking pvc setup so I came up with this. Its your standand 1in clear tubing on an undergravel filter. I attached the two tubes at the bottom and stuck on a...
