I'm trying to decide what kind of lights to get for my new tank. Anyone out there have T-5's? What was the deciding factor for you? Are you happy with them? Do they put off as much heat as MH? I'm going with a canopy on top the tank and am worried about heat off the MH so I'm considering T5's...

I'm going to be building my own stand. What type of wood would be the best to use? Should I paint it or seal it? This tank will be built in the wall so no one will see the stand I don't care if it's pretty or not.

I'm in the market for one. Anyone know of a good one?

As some of you may know I'm upgrading my tank. Everything in my tank now is to go in the new tank. I would like my rocks to be as matured as possible. It may be another month or so before I can get my tank. Could I buy a large trash can and put my rock in there to cure without lights? What do...

I need some intake on this product. From what I understand you put in your refugium and it's supposed to be all that. What do you guys think?

What do you guys think about closed loop? One LRS is urging me to do it another says that drilling holes in your tank is a bad idea. Give me some advise on this please I'm so confused. My tank will be 36X30X30. The LRS that says don't do is afraid of the glass cracking where it has been drilled...

I was wondering how many of you use chillers on your tanks? My new tank will 140g and it will be located in my wash room with my hot water heater and my washing machine and dryer which tend to put off some heat. It gets really hot here in TX so I'm thinking I will have to have one. What works...

My new tank will be 140g so I need something that will mix at least 30 gallons at a time.

I have purchased a very small blue hippo tang (one inch) I am keeping it in my smaller aquarium until my 140 is finished. I have been feeding it green marine algae clipped in the tank. I also feed frozen brine. Ok how much seaweed do you put in there and how long do you leave it? I left it in...

Has anyone had any luck with target feeding a linkia? I've tried to feed mine by placing food under it's leg with no luck. So far I've tried small pieces of shrimp that my serpent sea star ended up enjoying. And I've tried Green Marine Algae (natural dried seaweeds). They won't take them I'm...
