I'm starting a new 10 gallon nano saltwater tank. It's an auto top off.

Does anybody know what this is called? Or how/where I can purchase it? It's 1 1/4" in diameter and was in someone's overflow to keep critters out.... I've found a really cool use for it that I'd love to share if I can find more!!!!

I sprung for a 10 gallon tank, moving up from my 2 gallon..... I'm going to run a HOB filter for now that I used on a 30 gallon before..... What size power head should I use in this tank? One or two? The HOB filter seems to be moving quite a bit of water

This is what I'm looking at....1200 GPH internal overflow box https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OWK75ZM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Rr5Oyb1NCDP9C

I'm thinking of going with a 30gallon display tank and a 30gallon sump. What would you all suggest for a return pump size? I know it's normally 4 times per hour.... But does that count for the DT and sump? Or just the DT?

Ok change of plans.... I found someone with 2 30 gallon tanks for 40.00, and that's hard to pass up! What size in and out bulkheads would you all suggest? Also, return pump size? Heater wattage?

Just a suggestion.... I love fish as much as the next person.... But in a 10 gallon the toxins could be hard to overcome (in my opinion not impossible, but hard).... Maybe look into only a clown and shrimp, or a Goby and shrimp for now... Then CORALS!!!

Thinking maybe a 10 and a 10.... Every time I think about it my ideas get bigger! Guess we'll see what happens[emoji51]

Awesome! Thank you all, I was actually looking more towards the 1" out and 3/4" in after a little more research!

Hello all, I'm thinking about getting a 10 ish gallon tank and drilling it to allow for a sump without going over the rim. My question is..... What size bulkheads/holes and piping or hoses should I use for the drain and the return. I'm inclined to think the drain should be larger but I don't...

I was thinking of waiting for Petco to do a dollar per gallon sale and buy one to build a sump. I'm thinking a 10-20 would do well for it... I may even just have another body of water with sand and rock in it instead of building a sump. Not 100% sure on all of that yet. I've got a good HOB...

I like the way you think! My last was a 180 gallon and I miss it! But I live in a garage apartment now so I need to say small.... What's the foot print of a 5.5?

Hello all!! I haven't been here since I had my 180 gallon mixed reef tank. I got rid of it (due to family decisions). I'm now living in a 1 room garage apartment.... I have a 2.5 gallon mixed reef tank established but I want more flow!! I'm thinking about doing a sump.... What size would you...

Give this a shot.... I got a order from them.... They set you up a CUC according to the size of your tank and also send extra shells for the crabs. http://www.reefcleaners.org/ Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Finally got my tank going! It's a lot smaller than the 180 gallon I had before.... But it's going well so far! I'm trying to figure out what kind of corals to put in it now.... I love Zoas, and I think they may do well in here.... Does anybody have any other suggestions? Sent from my iPhone...

That's good to hear.... I'm sporting a 2 gallon tank and don't want anything crazy! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello, I got a piece of live rock and it was full of decent hitchhikers.... But this one I can't find.... Can anybody identify it? Good? Bad? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I got a PAR38 led blue and white from Amazon..... I'm gonna make a small canopy for it and suspend it Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

What do you think about Zoas? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Maybe a fire shrimp and some coral with a small cleanup crew..... What kind of coral do you think I could get away with? The only water movement will be from the return... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Is there a shrimp and goby that would pair up that I could keep in a 2 gallon nano? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello all, I am in the process of buying things to start a 2 gallon nano. Probably going to set it up as a reef tank but really just want to start another tank. I was wondering what kind of auto top offs everyone uses? Any ATO units that I should maybe look at? With my old bigger tank I made the...

I certainly understand that.... Don't count out building your own stand though...... Even if I bought one brand new from a aquarium store I would still reinforce it! Building it yourself you can build it the way YOU can trust it! Either way.... Good luck! I'm super excited to get a big tank...
