Did you end up doing the front also? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I didn't think we could but with a little ingenuity we have less than 700 in the whole thing not counting the fish! Lots of diy Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I here you on that lol. Started putting in fish and few days later had those on the couch. Tried everything and can't get rid of it!! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I am very proud. It was a long process of repair between work and family and the tank. The wife is happy, the kids love it... I'm good with that! And thanks to everyone for the confidence boost on here. You guys are great and a big help. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

i have only been Dosing Potassium sulfate to stay away from any more nitrates or phosphates. I figure the 10+ phosphates and 10-20 nitrates have that covered. what nitrate level should i shoot for i read 15ppm +-5 is about right. I will switch out to some 6500k that i have

Oh and tap Water ammo-0 nitrite-0 nitrate-0 phos <1 GH-11 Kh-3 to 4 Ph-8.2 what kind of flow rate should i have. im running a Mag5 under the tank so prolly closer to 450gph. my return is under the substrate so it doesnt move the surface much, thats good for plants right? Would i need a...

i routinly do 30% to 50% WC probably once evenry 2 weeks my tap water is hard with a higher ph. phosphates 1ppm or less. would the decaying algea spike phosphates. they come from decaying plant mater and fish food? i have been using the gravel vac about everyother day.i know i have low watts/G...

So I have an algae that is annoying. It's not over the top but it keeps growing. I have been lightly dosing Algeafix to keep it in check. It mostly started when I OD it with light. The Tank: 180g with 55g sump, I have 2 48" t8 4100k bulbs and a 2' 4100k t8.(i think that is the problem would...

Oh sure thing. I am going to see what it costs to get a 90 vs building one! Here I come Craigslist Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I think I'm going to build a new tank! I replaced the panels on the 180 and made the trim how much harder could it be? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

yeah i watched a presentation by red sea on the C Series and its all in the back. fliter media rack system over flow in the center and a custom made protien skimmer, 4000 GPH pump, hydor in line heater and plumbed for optional chiller. they are very nice but i just dont think i can swing 2000...

Well they look amazing! But there is no way the wife is gonna say yes to that haha. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have already talked her into letting me upgrade the 55 to our 180 once. She is gonna run out of living room and she said "no d@#m fish in my bedroom" haha. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

This does look really good. I like the corals so definitely a reef eventually. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

How big do they make those biocubes? Maybe I can find a used one. I think a reef eventually. I would get tired of just fish. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I kinda wondered if that was gonna be a general consensus. I found that with freshwater a 55 gallon makes it all look forced into the aquarium. Maybe I'll see about gluing together a 75 or 90. The wife is gonna hate this forum lol! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

That is a great thread thank you for the link. I might try to tackle a saltwater tank with my old 55 gallon. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Is a 55 long work well or is it like fresh where it's to thin? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm jumping in on this one too! I have been thinking about doing some reef with corals and stuff. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thank you! This was all done with pvc trim from Lowes. Being PVC it won't rot or mold. The white wouldn't have worked on Ginty's because it's about an 1/8" thick. But a low budget for that tank that comes to mind would be edge for a drop ceiling. It's thin aluminum I think and cheap, also much...

Making an average of angels per gallon found on the net I would say 3-5 angels in 50 gallons. I would think a decent HOB would take care of it. As for gourami it's pretty unanimously species to species with dwarf gourami being the gentil Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have read about fish less cycling on other sites and they all talk about 8 or 10 weeks with the static ammonia problem. Many end up with bacteria starters. I use the Microbe-lift Special Blend. I have tried API stress zyme and it does nothing, Nutrafin Cycle works good but is double the cost...

This is one I repaired I like the way the trim looks. The top and bottom are brick molding notched out.

Oh and they don't seem to bother any of my plants Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Oh yeah I forgot about those guys I have several. My kids loves those. I personally think that the tiger nerite munches more than the zebras, but they will go to town. Now that my algae is under control 6 of them keep up with it. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
