Day time Night time (appears much brighter due to HDR mode on my iPhone)

From everything I've read, they are a simple concept, but having (a little) experience using a canister (my brother's) I would feel more comfortable going that route. Plus I don't have space for anymore than maybe a 6gal sump. Just going to wait until I move to my new place and build a stand to...

I was just curious, I didn't know much about overflows. I just looked and found overflows that are 500+gph. I've decided to just go with a Canister filter for now.

This link should help you decide which you want to go with in the Acrylic Vs. glass debate: http://www.firsttankguide.net/tanktype.php And this one with sumps: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-01/gt/

Does anybody know if this can be done? Basically I want to add a sump onto my 55g setup, because I am going to be switching to SW soon, and I've read a lot about using a sump, but I'm afraid that using only a siphon down to the sump and an actual water pump back up, I won't be able to get...

I think the Ammo was up because my crayfish killed some plants in the back and I didn't catch on. I read that somewhere. Anyways thanks for the info everyone!

I have a moderately sized Tiger Oscar (~7") 2 Demosani Cichlids (~1") a Yellow Lab Cichlid (~3") and a Blue Crayfish.

Yes I used a seeded bio sponge from the old filter into the new for 3 weeks

I am relatively new to fishkeeping; my brother got a 45gal and decided to do saltwater, so he gave me his entire setup; a 29gal all glass, filter, heaters, decor, substrate, fish, etc. anyways; I got that setup and the Oscar he gave me got big enough that he needed to be in a bigger aquarium, so...

The last tank I got was a 29g from my brother and it shattered in my car on the way home. I was pissed!

I moved my filter from my 25g which has been running for around 6 months on a filter rated for 60g

I recently acquired a tank from a family friend. A 55g and stand for the incredible price of $Free.99! It didn't come with a hood, but I can deal with that. After a good bath with vinegar and water it looked beautiful! I went to Home Depot and picked up 2 25lb bags of play sand, rinsed...

How long ago was that if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah I figured why not just do it once? My brother has had probably 5 tanks and is now at a 55 gallon. I plan on keeping my 25 up and running for the time being, even if I decide not to go salt, and just collecting things, filters, etc to get it up and running

Well it turns out the guy on craigslist decided to keep the setup. Pretty bummed about it, but I talked to my girlfriend and she wants to get me a bigger tank for Christmas, as my Oscar is very unhappy being in the little 25 gallon i have, (my 40 gallon cracked) so she is going to get me a 125...

I was given an old aquarium heater by a family member, it is a Supreme Heetmaster Mod II. She knew nothing about it, as it was second hand to her as well. I tried reading up on it, couldn't find anything about other than the fact that it is OLD. So, I figured I would test it before I just...

Hello all, I am in the process of aquiring/setting up my new tank. I found a 75 Gallon all glass with stand on Craigslist for $150. Even came with a Fluval 404
