I am building a rack for a 55 and 2 20H tanks, the 55 is on top of the 2 20's, what kind of wood can support this weight? Pine?

How do I do it? Is it a certain type of bulb? Incandescent? What?

I am setting up some fish racks, I am going to have 2 20H's below a 55gal, all flowing into a 55gal sump, so ill have more than 100gals in the system, I wanted to keep cardinals in one 20H and maybe firefish in the other, but lionfish in the top 55gal, the sump will be mostly a refugium for...

I am going to have 3 20gal tanks, one acts as a refugium/sump and the others are for some small fish, if I wanted to add a 55gal to this setup, and maybe have lionfish in it, will they be allright in a 55gal, I guess as long as there is not too much LR, I was just curious though, do they reguire...

I just finished my 3ft skimmer and it works GREAT, hardly cost me anything and I had fun making it, I think everyone should make as much as they can themselves, it gives a real sense of satisfaction, my next project is a stand/lighting, and overflow unit, I can't wait!

I have a 20H tank with LR and alot of filtration and I need some inhabitants, what kind of fish do you think would do well, how long could a dwaf lion be ok in it? I am going to set up a 55 or 75, or 90... money permitting, so I could move him later, but I don't know, if anyone could think of...

Is it ok to feed frozen brine shrimp alot, because, it seems to get stuck on stuff and I'm afraid it will raise ammo and such, but it EVERYTHING in the tank's favorite food, EVERYTHING in the tank runs out of hiding as soon as I put it in, and I would like to feed it whenever I can, but is it...

Well, I am about to make a sump, stand, skimmer, hood w/ lighting, overflow and a refugium all myself, I wonder how it will turn out, I am using acrylite for the sump, it's not very thick, but the sump isn't too big so I think it'll work... I am excited/worried about all of it... what kind of...

How deep does it have to be to house anerobic bacteria to help get rid of nitrates?

How does it work to keep the inverts or fish from going where the shouldnt? I am making a sump and am going to have the water come in from the top of it, go Over BioMedia, held by eggcrate, thn through a baffle, should it have slots cut in it? and into an algea/DSB area, then back through a...

I saw a blue leg hermit get out of his shell and hang on the shell of another, the other was coming out of his shell and when he got out he got into the others' old shell and then the first one got into his, I guess the algea is always greener on the other shell.

I have on my 20gal high tank, a skilter 250 (not being used as a protein skimmer), a biowheel 125, ~20lbs LR and a 3" LSB, I have only one domino damsel, some blue legs, snail turbo and astrea, a red serpent star, a CBS, 2 peppermint shrimp, 2 emerald crabs, a condy anemone that the damsel...

I am going to set up a 10gal quarentine tank for fish and maybe inverts, do I have to cycle the tank? I want to do it quick if I can, do I need LR and all that or can I have no substrate and maybe some base rock? what about filtration? do I need a sump and everything, or can I use some sort of...

What's a good way to take em out, so I don't have to do too many water changes? Macro Algea in the sump? DSB, what do you guys think is best any sites on nitrate elimnating would be great, thanks!

I have had my tank for a month and a half and it has cycled, no big algea problem tho, I added a nice little clean up crew, btw it's only a 20gal high, and I have live rock stacked up to about the top, I will post a pic soon, I don't have much in it, a domino damsel that hangs out in the anemone...

I am going to get a sump setup, I will have a 600gph overflow, it think, and I want the return in 2 places at least, is it best to use several small pumps or some sort of branching return? any ideas would be swell, I think the branching would be best, but I'm not sure how to set it up, thanks...

How effective is the filtration in live rock? I have a 20gal, it only has 15lbs now, but I'm thinking of adding another 15, what would the filtration it provides be comparable to? I have a small Bioload, 2 domino damsels and a CBS, small cleanup crew. Thanks for any help! also, what do i need to...

I have a 20 gal setup with only 2 18" flourescents on a regular hood, with a piece of glass under it... it sits on the tank... and I am about to add one 175w Metal Halide... how should I go about this? Should I remove the hood? With the one MH it will be a bit over 8w per gallon? and with the...

I am setting up a 55gal with a 10gal sump... What type of pump should I use for the return? If it is too strong will it not drain the sump, cuz it cant fill up fast enough? Wouldn't it be like that for any pump? Unless it was getting the exact same amount of water as it was putting back? I need...

I need somthing, coral, anemone, something. That will stay fairly small and can be kept in a SMALL tank, 2gal, and not pollute the water too much, I was going to put in a DSB :D and a cool piece of LR, and I wanted just a little something that I cold keep on my desk without it being TOO much...
