I was given a 55g tank which upon further inspection I noticed the plastic in the corners of my base ring has some cracking and one corner has completly broken. I've reboneded it with plastic epoxy, but I'm not sure that will stand up to the weight of a full tank and I fear the tank shifting...

Thanks for all the opinions guys, you've definatly opened my eyes to this unique world. I've decided to go with a simmer/sump setup as that seems to be the most condusive to a FOWLR setup. Additionally, I'm looking toward the future when I want to add some corals and other advanced items to...

Thanks for the help guys.! The 5-3 has been ordered and should arrive within the next few days.

Thanks for the feedback I suppose I'll abandon the UGF and move to a protein skimmer and sump setup. That said, maybe someone can suggest a good skimmer and power head for my 55g tank. I'd like to go with overkill with the expectation that I will eventually upgrade to a larger tank once I get...

Hi, I've been reading through posts here for the better part of the last month and I'm finally ready to begin posting. One thing that I've noticed is that there's no universal answer to setting up and maintaining your tank. I've read a few books and from what I've seen here I feel like my...
