For sale is a 125 Gallon Acrylic Fish Tank Aquarium with Stand and Canopy. Located in Central California - 40 miles north of Fresno Tank was set up for saltwater but can be used for fresh as well. Overflow box & pipes installed ready for use with sump so equipment is hidden underneath. Custom...

Thanks for the quick response! Just FYI, I'm not so much concerned about the lights for the fish... I'm more concerned that the tank will be bright, and that it'll be enough light for coralline growth for the live rocks.

Hi everybody! I'm starting a 210G predator tank and will have tons of live rock and a bare bottom. I'm so used to PC lighting but am frustrated at how often you have to change bulbs. Do you guys think these LED's from marinedepot.com would do the job? No corals, just want nice healthy live rock...

Sounds easy enough... but as far as letting it die off... I need to drain the tank->> should I leave the rocks out of water or leave them in salt/fresh water while it dies?

Hi everyone! So I'm going to be moving and won't be able to keep my tank up and running for a couple years. I don't want to sell everything off as I have too much invested in the tank & will eventually want to start it back up once the new house is built. I have over 150 lbs of live rock and...

Nothing will bond acrylic to glass. I would personally do glass baffles and use silicone to join them. You could get 4-5 pieces of 3/16 inch glass cut to size for cheap. If you use acrylic you could use silicone just to hold the baffles in place... but any slight bump will dislodge them as they...

The bigger the better... whatever will fit under your cabinet. I would go for a 40gal breeder tank. That would give you plenty of room for a skimmer, room for LR rubble, and a return section for a pump. A 20 Long would be ok too... but far less flexible for future upgrades. I say use the 90 for...

I converted your .doc into a .jpg Only change I would make is the configuration of your baffles. First one should be up in order to make a bubble trap. Second should be down closest to the return pump. That second baffle will be what determines the running water level. As water evaporates it...

I have a Mag 12 on my 140 and have never had any issues. My tank runs silently. The only thing I hear is my protein skimmer, but even that is silent when I have my cabinet doors closed.

That was an interesting article, thanks for posting it. Brought up some interesting points, especially about the differences in swimming needs of different fish. This also brought up another important question that I haven't seen discussed. The amount of Live Rock, decorations, sand, plants...

I have my RO/DI under my kitchen sink. Real easy to plumb in. Have a shut off at the source to shut off water coming into the unit if I need to change the filter cartridges. Waste water gets flushed down the drain. For the output pure water line I ran a line of 1/4 tubing (like the tubing you...

Yeah... that site's usually where I start, then search other sites as well. Everyone has their own opinion I suppose. Just wanted as many opinions as possible from people who have experience with them. :D

Hi everyone! So I am considering an Imperator Angel. Have a 140 and 60 sump. There is a small blonde naso tang in the tank & that's it. Plenty of LR & LS. I know these fish get big and some people say that they need a 240+ gal tank and that they should be kept alone or only with one or two...

Not hard to work around at all. The overflow I have is a trapezoid shape... not a square/rectangle. It's 5" deep at the middle and fans out to be flush with the back. Just put rocks up against it and it disappears.

I had two corner overflows on my old 125 and HATED them. They were small... 6"w x 6"d x 24"h +/-... but when you look at the tank from the side you get a dead spot where you can't see anything behind it. It's ok if you look from the front only but my tank is against one wall on the right and I...

Yeah... I think I will take out the Powder Brown tang. I'm researching the whole Niger Trigger / Dogface Puffer / Volitan Lionfish debate on 50+ websites. Starting to think that the Dogface/Lionfish would be better suited than the Niger Trigger/Lionfish pairing for fin-nipping. From what I've...

Here is my stocking list idea. Went through the forums/compatibility lists... but couldn't resist adding my own to AA. 140 six foot tank w/60 sump. 120+/- LR. 2.5" LS, 2 skimmers, UV, refugium w/chaeto & mangroves, chiller. Ideal list: Koran Angel (only fish in the tank right now) Snowflake...

I would make a trip to your local home depot. They have new 5 gal buckets for under $4 each with matching lid. Never used before. Just clean them out with fresh water (no soap). They also have 28+ gallon totes that have lids. You could get bigger and nicer ones, but each tote is less than $10...

So I just got a jbj 1/4 chiller for my 140+60 sump. The guy I bought it from said it would be a good idea to get a controller to hook up a heater to it. Is it really necessary to get a controller? Was thinking I would set my heater to 76F and the chiller to 78F. Would think that would be ok to...
