I am just starting a planted tank, and have some jungle val. I'm not a lover of pest snails. What would be the best dip for the jungle val and other plants to get rid of the snails?

Hey everyone! I need some help setting up my sump for my 90 gallon peacock tank. I got a used 30 gallon sump for it with just 2 baffles, and I need help with how to filtrate it. Under the second baffle I put a sponge so that is one level of mechanical filtration. I also have a stash of bioballs...

Sounds good. Treat the whole tank with metro? I’ve been putting it in their food recently as well.

Also, the fish that has stopped eating has seemed to have lost scales on the side of his body. You can see white where they once were. Not sure if he was beaten up or am I dealing with a different issue?

I seem to be dealing with internal parasites in my cichlid tank. Noticing some white stringy poo and one of my fish seems to be breathing hard and has stopped eating. Is there a best method to treat the whole tank for parasites, as I think there are several fish with them? It’s a 125 african...

I’ve thought about rams or apistos, but would they breed in hard water okay?

Cool! I’ll put those on the list! Yeah, that’s kind of what I wanted to do. I bred peacocks for quite a few years and got out of it, now I just want to breed again for fun and maybe get a little bit of money to help offset the cost of the hobby. Anyone else have fun ideas of fish to breed?

That’s true! They’re pretty. cool. Remind me on their size again, will they be alright in a 20?

I have a 20 gallon long and I’m looking for some fun fish to breed. Nothing too difficult, and I’m hoping to have fish where the fry can stay in one tank with the parents. I have hard water but can put driftwood or peat maybe to soften it, but no RO. I thoght about shellies, but they aren’t very...

FS: AGA 75 Gallon With a Built In Overflow, Cabinet & BRS Screen Tops - Reef Central Online Community I don't have a picture of the tank yet since I haven't picked it up. However, the overflow is a lot like the one in this link if that helps.

My friend doesn't know the size of the overflow box. Is there any other way I can find out what size pump I should get?

Gotcha, that makes sense. And because its used, how do I find the GPH of the overflow?

I'm getting a 75 gallon tank w/ overflow, stand, and sump from a friend. I want to make it a reef tank. However, I need a new sump for the pump and a protein skimmer. How do I choose a pump? Submersible or external? What brand? What GPH? Which protein skimmer? Overall, looking to spend about...

Anybody have experience with hob overflows?

Anyone running a HOB overflow?

I have a 125 african cichlid tank. Currently, I'm running an FX5 and two Aquaclear 110s, and I've gotten sick of dealing with the FX5. I have a few extra tanks lying around, and am thinking about putting a sump on the 125, for better filtration and (hopefully) more flow. The tank is currently...

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the center column or the wall/divider? Can you explain further? Sounds like a good idea though!

I have a globe tank that a friend wants me to set up in their home. It's between 10-15 gallons and they want to just keep tetras and stuff in it. However, they want it to look clean and stylish and not a jumble of filtration and cords. They also want it relatively cheap. At the moment, I have...

For more help with the tank, so far there are no fish in there, but I'm planning to add some soon. Hoping to get a pair or clowns, and a goby at least. It's a 20 gallon long, and for corals it has: 3 zoa colonies 1 duncan 1 trumpet colony A colony of GSP

Based off liveaquaria's reef cleaner packs, I was thinking a good CUC for this tank would be: (this list includes my current inhabitants) 1 pistol shrimp 1 emerald crab 1 peppermint shrimp 5 dwarf hermits (maybe 1 more electric blue and 3 scarlet reef hermits) 7 Nassarius snails 7 Cerith snails...

I just upgraded my saltwater to a 20 gallon long. It is a fully established tank because I used my sand, rock, and filters from my previous tank. Currently, there are only a few corals in the tank and then some inverts which are: 1 PIstol Shrimp 1 Emerald crab (not super attached to it but had...

I recently bought 4 multies for my 20g long, and my LFS doesn't have any shells right now. What kind of shells can I get for them, and where can I get them?

I tested the water yesterday, here are results of everything I tested: Nitrate: 5 Nitrite: 0 Ammonia: 0 Salinity: 1.021 pH: 7.8

Nope, I bought almost all my corals after I bought the light, they were under LEDs at the store too. According to research, it sounds like the Prime only goes to 250 PAr at 100%. Should I bump up the percentage then? Lately, my duncan isn't even opening up at all, and I've been struggling with...

I pretty much bought the light as soon as I acquired the tank, the light that the previous owner had on top of it was just a compact fluorescent. I only have the light at 45% intensity right now though, should I bump it up?
