Hey, I just posted on "new aquarists" I'd like to set up an outdoor (i live in miami) mangrove "tank" with sand or miracle mud for subtsrate, and fill with LR & Inverts, cukes, sponges etc. Set up would be around 50gal maybe more, initially thought about setting up in a LG rubbermaid type tub or...

My advice is Be very careful when buying used, dont let your excitement get the better of you, it may be a good deal, but make sure you check those seals and top & bottom braces, do yourself a favor. I bought a used 60 gal, and ignored some wear & tear on it, loaded the sucker up, bought sand...

Hey guys, just thought i'd post some pics of something many of us dont get to see very often. These are pictures I took while diving in Nicaraguas Pacific Coast, there are a few good ones of Passer angels, Puffers & Butterfly fish and others...its cool to see these guys in the wild. Hope you...

I have a HOB skimmer (it has side x side chambers, one for incoming water/bubbles etc and another for outgoing water) I had a prior 10gal system w bioballs in a wetdry. I placed some bioballs in the outgoing chamber of the skimmer...is this a good idea? My thoughts were that by placing BB's in...

Thats a nice set up, congrats. I'll see if I can find some pics of my set up and post them so you can have an idea.
