    Hang on Fuge/Skimmer combo?

    Is this possible? Here's what I'm thinking. I have an old style hang on overflow filter that has a built in skimmer. I'm not sure if it even works properly, but if it does can I simply add macro/mangrove and use this as a temporary fuge? It should hold at least 1lb of macro with ample room to...

    DIY acrylic tanks.

    DIY acrylic tanks.

    I actually have some spare 1in. acrylic sheets that I was looking at. I think they might be able to handle an interlocking router cut allowing for a tongue & groove type of structure, but I don't have enough to actually do the stress test when filled with water yet. There might even be another...

    I need trates help here

    My test kit showed everything as normal within ranges, but 2 fish died and the Nass. snails stay towards the top and don't do much, sooo... I bought another new test kit yesterday did some basic tests, and they were quite surprising... The only problem though is the kit didn't come with the...

    Basic Light question

    Actually looking at a LFS site I found this... Will it work for basic "easy" corals? or will it require better bulbs? The price is do-able for me on these. Coralife S/W Aqualight T-5 is a double lamp fixture ideal for saltwater and reef aquariums. Includes one 10,000K Daylight and one True...

    I need HELP!!!

    Not to be argumentitive or anything, but aren't bristleworms technically the same family as fireworms as they sting? We do use the term bristleworm for most worms we see, and w/o a picture it would be hard to ID. All tank parms are normal to slightly high on last tests run yesterday. I do know...

    I need HELP!!!

    I thought I was losing my mind w/ this, but after figuring out the cause behind the death of 2 damsels and reading a little here and there I do believe I know the prime suspect! I have a monster bristle worm! Last night I found one of my yellow fin damsels half dead and giving up. 2 days prior...

    Black Lighting question

    I removed the black light just concluding that there are too many skepulations about them. I also figure if it's strong enough to blind me, then the poor fish wouldn't stand a chance.

    The Stages of my tank

    Last ditch efforts started 10 months ago where I stopped turning the lights on for no reason and just let everything cycle through itself. Bought some new equipment and the pictures show how that went...
