Well, storage. Suppose I was to sell immediately? What different steps would I take there vs storing it for future use?

Use bleach on the rocks? And yes, years. What would you do to make it worth more if I was to sell the whole thing?

I need some advice taking down my tank. I have had it up at least 5 years and I just don't have the time anymore for upkeep. Is there anything special I can need to do for the rock, sand & filters for future use? Thanks, Saltyskimmer

Currently I have a T5 lighting system but one of the legs broke. Now I have it propped with a small piece of 2 x 4 until I get a new light. I want to get an LED light but they range in prices (like everything). What am I looking for if I want to eventually get some coral? Currently I have a...

As I think of this, I really hate testing my water. "What color is that? is it light blue or med blue? Is it brown or dark red." A real pain in the tookus!

Those of you with multiple tanks, do you have them in different parts of the house? Same room?
