So I have had my 45 gallon for 5 years now. Now I will be moving for college in the fall and got a 16 gallon bow front. How should I start. Should I move water from my 45 gallon to it or fill the 16 with new water? Also I have fully cured live rock so I should not have to wait for the tank...

currently i have a penguin bio wheel. Its not working well anymore and i also have a cpr bak pak skimmer that seems to be doing all the filtration right now. What kind of filter do you recommend? Is there anything that keeps splash levels low, because i hate salt creep.

Hi. I just changed my substrate to sand and all the rocks have been moved. Today is the first day my maroon clown has eaten. He still hasnt taken to any ground yet either. He just stays by the heater. Well he is the only fish i have right now in my 45 gallon and i figured since there is...

I finally got a new coralife light fixture and lights today. It has little pegs that keep it like a quarter inch off the cover but does it need to be higher off it or will it be ok?

I just came home from work and it was like all sucked up into its base. A few tenticles were sticking out and they looked all shriveled up. Is it ok?

i have freeze dried krill. It floats though. Do i need to get something that will sink to the bottom?

Well i have two maxi jet 1200's in my 45 gallon tank. i have them on a very low setting cause otherwise they make a ton of bubbles. I have them making no bubbles but they still turn a lot of water. Should i turn them up or not.
