    Who has the deepest tank here?

    My 125 is about 26 in. high, which means that I either use a grabber or get my armpit wet. That tank has half inch glass all through it too. I personally wouldnt want one any taller.

    Question for all cat owners

    I have 3 cats and they are interested in my 125 only marginally. Our male cat shows the most interest mainly due to the fact that our Lawnmower Blenny drives him nuts. Sometimes he likes to lay on top of the tank, which is no problem because the tank top is tight and plenty strong enough to...

    Need Help Please

    I've got a nasty surface film in my tank that seems to be getting worse. I've got 2 powerheads plus 2 bio pumps to move the water around. What is causing this, and how do I get rid of it? :help:

    Move Over Copperfield, My Goby has You Beat!

    Last night I got to see one heck of a magic trick. My wife and I had noticed how quickly our Diamond Goby gets into her home under a large rock when the lights go out. Well, last night it had been spending a lot of time covering the entrance to its home with sand--completely sealed that sucker...

    Whose pets love their tank?

    Our tank has been set up for a week, and our 3 cats love it. At anytime when the lights are on, you can walk in there and find at least one of them laying on the couch on one side, or the love seat on the other side and just staring at it. Our big male "J.J.", is particularly facinated with the...

    Reef Tank?? Fish Only tank??

    Milo, I'm just getting into this, but I've already learned one main thing. I had to decide between a really beautiful and active reef, or my favorite fish which is the black Volitan. After I found out that a Vol can attain 15 in lengths and of course inhale everything in sight, it wasn't a hard...

    New Kid on the Reef

    Hello, As of next week, I will be the proud owner of a 120 gal. reef tank. The tank is not new and is established. Although I have over 15 yrs experience with aquariums, only 1 yr is saltwater-fish only. So, I really am the new kid on the reef. What I am looking for here, is advice from all you...
