I have 2 of the penguin bio-wheel mini's on my 15 gallon nano tank. I would like to add the functionality of a protein skimmer to my setup but i don't really wanna drop too much money on it. Would buying an air pump, splitter 2 air blocks, and placing the airblocks at the bottom of the filters...

I'll be moving tank soon, so i'll have to empty it out, and i wanna give it a good cleaning before refilling it. Whats a good way to get rid of the correline algae that i have on the glass, and some of the salt stains both on the glass and the plastic?

neither. the water itself is brown colored. I actually have very little algae growing in the tank.

oh ya forgot to mention i bought some carbon put some in filter bags and put them in both filters. No change.

Hello all. I have a 15 gallon tank, with about 5 lbs of live rock in it. I also have 2 penguin mini biowheel filters, and a powersweep powerhead with the aeration hooked up to it. Right now i only have 1 damsel in it. about 2 months ago my water became very murky and brown. i have tried several...

I have been using tap water, but treating it before i put it in. And yes i have been doing water changes weekly (usually a gallon). Is the brown algae a problem though? Something i should remove every week? or is it ok to have in the tank?

I might be able to up it to a 15, but that would be about all i have room for. I know it will be quite a bit of work to make sure water levels don'e get out of whack at all. So one powerhead pointed diagonally toward the opposite corner on top of the water, and the other pointed at a 45 degree...

For substrate i'm probally going to use some sort of sand, whether or not it's live sand i've yet to determine. What is an HOB? And yes i know i can't fit too many fish. I was thinking a couple of clown fish, and mebe a couple of angel fish. Yes this is my first salt water tank. For lighting at...

I'm planning on starting a 10 gallon saltwater tank. It will have fish, and about 20 pounds of live rock, I may decide to add coral later. Someone told me that i should try to have balanced water flow on both sides of the tank ie small filters on each side, and sweeping powerhead in the middle...
