Hey all - Looking to setup my new Biocube 29. I need basically everything you'd put in to have a good setup. Powerheads 150w heater Test kits Skimmer Refractometer Thermometer Power strip with timers And if you're local - will need sand, rock, and a stand. Thanks for looking!

So we put our deposit down on the Biocube 29 and will hopefully be.bringing it home in a couple weeks! So - I've been looking at possibly adding the Lee's Protein Skimmer. I would like to add some powerheads but thinking the Hydor's are almost too expensive? Or maybe I'm not looking in the...

So we finally decided to stop the search for the perfect used setup and buy new. We put $50 down on a new biocube and stand and will be paying the rest off within a week or so - just waiting on tax refund to come in. Soooo yay! I'm very excited! And looking for what I'm going to need to really...

Okay so I went to Petco and found a 20" Aqueon LED Mod fixture for $17.00 Snatched it up with a quickness! As well as a second white and a colormax bulb for $4 each. So I will be running 3 of the bulbs. (Again, 2 white & 1 colormax) Soooo here's the important question - can I do any coral with...

I was offered a 3 gal pico setup for $40 on CL. I'm seriously considering buying it and I understand it would require daily maintenence which I'd be happy to do. Wondering what type of invert I could put in? Definitely would like to do a soft coral if possible. It comes with compact...

Wondering what is going on with my Gourami. Went to feed the tank and they are all much slower than usual and my piggy fish - Mommy Gourami - an Opaline Gourami is turning yellow all in her fins. My black neons also look a little yellowish but nothing close to the Opaline's discoloring. Anyone...

Okay just wondering what you guys think of the Marineland Maxi Jet? It says 125/500gph...(not sure why there's two numbers..?) And if I was gonna use this in a 29g reef would it be enough flow?

I'm ready to start shopping for some items I will need for my future 29g reef setup. Starting with powerheads. I've been trying to research but I'm not finding a lot of info that matches from site to site....soooo.... What should I look into getting? From what I have read it does look like I...

How much does a medium female go for?

Is there anywhere other than CL that I can find used tanks/equipment? Really want to set up a nano reef (between 20&30) but trying to save a few bucks. Any other suggestions???

Okay so I am definitely going to be getting a 20-29g tank to start my first SW tank. I will have real Red Sea salt and gorgeous live rock and sand from a local store. I will not have a filter because the guy says I will only need a powerhead and the live rock & sand will do all my filtering for...

Hey so there is a 29gal Biocube on my local CL with a leak for $50. Would I be able to fix this easily?

Saw a 29g biocube on CL for sale that has a leak for $50. Do you guys n gals n fish pals think this is a good buy? Can I fix it easily?

Thinking of starting a FOWLR tank soonish. I'd like to do a 20 but am wondering if you all think a 20L is okay? Unless I can get one of the Tetra kits for a 20H but it comes with LED lights which would be good to have if I eventually want to do a few soft corals right?? I would replace the Tetra...

I'm thinking of starting a SW tank soon. I have been looking thru CL and will be shopping a store which sells used tanks but I think I may just buy a 20gal and add on used equipment from there. First things first - no I cannot go over 20G. MAYBE if I find an amazing deal I will go to 29 but...

I just saw a GE fluorescent light @ walmart that says daylight on it. Any chance it would work for an aquarium? Id like to get into some plants but I just have the stock light on my Aqueon 29g kit.

Went to check out Fin & Feather in Groton today and found out they're closing on the 14th or 15th! Unfortunately I have no money (rent week) but wanted to pass the savings along to my fellow Connecticutians! All saltwater supplies are 50% and all freshwater fish are buy one get one free. If...

Hi everyone.... Just wondering if anyone knows what causes this dust particle/chalky looking stuff in my tank water? Established for 6+ months now. I HAD very low ph/acidic water and followed the instructions of someone on here and added baking soda and Epsom salt now have a PH that is bouncing...

Flakes, freeze-dried, frozen, pellets, sinking, or floating??? There are soooo many to choose from! So how do I know what to feed them? I got frozen bloodworms but I feel like they make a mess. They're a better choice for my frog it seems. I have the trusty flakes but they seem messy...

Finally got a liquid test for my PH now. (I'm becoming so official!) Anyways - I always knew my water was acidicish because of the strips...just never had a true number. The true number was 6.0 I then tested my tap water and that came out a 6.8 Now I'm confused because why would my tank water be...

Check out my new "Julii" Weird, no???

Had a columnaris outbreak and lost 2 out of 3 bloodfin tetras, male Opaline gourami, and a bamboo shrimp. Everyone else seems okay for now. I guess we will see what happens. So...I still have 3 julii cories, bristlenose pleco, female Opaline, dwarf flame gourami, and 5 neons and a bloodfin...

Okay - weird but true...two of my tetras have no lips!! One penguin and one bloodfin. What the hell is going on?!?! Are ALL of my fish going to lose their lips? All I could find about this was cotton mouth but it doesn't look white really...just like a gaping hole straight to the mouth....NO...

So I'm trying to buy either two 20's or two 10's from CL and I have a couple of questions for y'all! Considering doing one of the tanks brackish and placing a Figure 8 into it. If I do - will I need more equipment than the usual filter/heater/hood? Also can I add some beneficial bacteria from...

I finally got an ammonia test - no not the strips! A real test kit! Anyways I got it because a week ago we added about 7 fish into a 29 gallon tank and I was worried about the potential of an ammonia blast. So here's the thing - last night I tested and it was right between .25 and .50 so I did...
