Started this tank January 2019. I’ve always loved following aquarium builds so I thought I’d post mine for people to enjoy. I used to have a 72 gallon mixed reef and it took over my life and my wallet. I took a break after I sold it and decided to go the nano route with minimal equipment and...

I’m setting up a new 20 gallon long reef and I’m trying to use some of my old supplies. I have a couple power heads but no idea how many GPH they push or what size they are. I know they are Hydor but that’s it. Any suggestions how to figure this out? [emoji848]

I usually write down the names of the corals when I buy them but I didn't this time. And well this one hasn't opened yet but... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I recently bought a potters angel. I made a stupid mistake of not quarantining him. I've been waiting for my LFS to get one forever and I was leaving out of town the next day and they wouldn't hold it for me. Looked fine at the store. I haven't added new fish in months so I didn't have my...

I bought a new coral, a type of brain coral. I got a discount cuz the skeleton was showing a bit but I thought it might be worth saving or at least attempting to. The colors in the pictures don't even come close to how beautiful it really is. I've fed it some shrimp and it's taken it so I hope...

Tank has been up and running for a year and a half now doing pretty well I think. Been reading a lot of posts here and I think I broke a couple rules but so far it has worked for me. I'm always looking for advice though so please let me know any suggestions. First of all tang police please...

LFS finally got me a couple of snowflake clowns! Been waiting since January :) doing great. Only fish that don't hide when I'm cleaning or working on the tank. Also finally had the time to re-scape my tank. Never liked how it looked before. I just didn't know any better when I...

This was a hitch hiker who somehow survived through the cycling back in January then disappeared for a few months and just popped up again almost 3X in size. First pic he's about a half inch full extended. Second photo he's just under 2 inches. If anyone has any info about these guys and...

My skimmer died after only 6 months. It's was a Eshopps PK75H HOB. My boyfriend bought it at the suggestion of the LFS without researching or comparing products. Grrr now I have to replace it. Any suggestions for a HOB skimmer for a 72 gallon tank. Needs to be able to ship to Canada.

This little guy came as a hitch hiker with my LR. It used to be super tiny and solid white but I read that anemones bleach when stressed and this guy survived my whole cycle. I hadn't seen it in over a month and then bam! Front and center. Seems to have doubled in size. Almost an inch tall...

I've had my 20 gallon running for about 15 years. I'm picking up a 45 gallon bow front this week and I don't know what kind of fish I can add with the current ones I have now. Current stock: 1- Albino Tetra 1 - Balloon Molly 1 - Tiger Barb 1- harlequin Rasbora 3 - Corey Catfish 2- Kuhlii...

I have 2 red firefish in my 72 gallon aquarium but I keep reading about people keeping small schools. That being said I have also read that you can't keep more than one in a tank. Thoughts? I didn't know there were purple ones when I got the red ones. Would I be able to add 2 more purple...

I have a standard 20 gallon tank. Been running for 15 years. My mom gave it to me and I have been looking to upgrade to around a 40 gallon soon. Coincidentally my filter died due to a power outage I think. Anyways the filter I have is the basic one it came with for a 20 gallon. I bought...

I got 2 golden headed sleeper gobies 2 weeks ago. One died 3 days after [first tank death :( ] but the remaining one seemed to be okay. Took a couple days but it eats fine. Still hides most of the time but I read that is normal. I noticed some white spots on him the last couple days though...

I've had my 20 gallon up and running for 12-15 years. I've had tons of fish go through that tank. I've got one little cat fish that is 8 or 9 yrs old. It's the most basic of all fresh water tanks. Gravel and plastic plants and decorations but I adore it. My friend is moving and possible giving...

Came with the live rock. It moved right out front and center when I had the lights off for a few days to deal with red algae but it usually stays in the shadows near the bottom. Less than an inch long and sometimes shrinks to almost nothing.

Considering getting one of these little guys but have read few concerning things. Does anyone have experience with them? I have a glass top with all holes covered so jumping won't be an issue. I am mostly worried about temperature. (I keep mine at 78) At my LFS they are in the general salt...
