So I tried to make my tank quieter. Just messing around with it really; the noise wasn't too bad. Well, now it is. I thought I'd be able to drill a hole in the overflow pipe above the water line in my sump so the air would have a place to escape instead of making bubbles (and therefore noise)...

Currently I have a 40b that is in disrepair because of a lack of maintenance schedule. I have decided to pack it up for the time being while I am in school to save the inhabitants. Before I do that I would kick myself for not trying to make it work with a simpler tank. So my plan is to...

Some of you might know me. I've posted in the nano section mostly but I just purchased a house and I have finally set up my dream 40b. During the move from the 29 to 40b I lost three fish (I pretty sure it was stress 'cause all of the corals and inverts are fine), a firefish, royal gramma, and...

Been a while since I posted and now I have great news ! I finally sold my paintball gun and can upgrade to my dream tank! 40 breeder here I come ! But I am running into some logistical problems. I'll do my best to explain but let me know if you guys need clarification. Here is my situation...

I built an overflow box to cover the bulkhead. Just like glass-holes but cheaper... but not as nice lol. The box dimensions are 3x3x5 inches (LxWxH) with 1 1/4" teeth. Bulkhead is 1" I have airline tubing down the pipe and coming out of the tank side of the bulkhead. Here are my problems with...

I've been looking around the interwebz for a bulb combo that will work for me. I like crisp blue/white lighting and would like to keep a clam if possible. Here is my lighting: 2x 30" Nova Extreme 2x 24w I read that 3 ATI Aquablues and 1 UVL Actinic White would look good but that sounds too blue...

What type of doom would I face if I were to run a reducer off of a 1" bulkhead for 3/4" pvc for my return line? So just to be clear: pump > 3/4" pvc > reducer > 1" bulkhead > tank. Possible or don't bother?

Just picked these up today and want to get second opinions Stylophora? Pink/orange base with green polyps. Some kind of encrusting monti? Orange base with green polyps. And then I'm just curious what crazy name people came up for these.

I bought this conch a few weeks ago and now for the life of me I can't remember the name. Can anyone help?

I just saw on another site the new CoralVue High Seas Powerheads. They look pretty cool but I was trying to find reviews and couldn't. Have you guys heard about these? They come in 750, 1250, 1500, and 3000 gph. "Introducing our new line of powerful powerheads for serious reef keepers! These...

I've been wondering what kind of zoa's these are. The big rock as three kinds: green, cream, and pink. I just found out the green ones are neon greens. So help with the other ones are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ASM G-Mini Octopus 110 needle wheel I'm leaning towards the Octopus but I'm getting conflicting information on the footprint specs. I've heard 7x9 and 6x8. Anyone have one to confirm? My next choice would be the ASM but I haven't really heard much about the performance. Can anyone help out?

I'm looking at the ASM Mini-G and the Octopus 110 needle wheel. I'd like to get the Octopus but I'm getting conflicting information about the footprint. I only have 8 square inches to play with and I've seen the footprint at 7x9 and 6x8. So anybody that has this skimmer which one is it? The...

I just came back from browsing the ***** close to me. I saw a wicked looking clown goby that I've never seen before. Unfortunately I don't have a picture but here is the description: Orangish-red head with green stripes Black body (from "neck" to tail fin) and it looked like warts or bumps on...

Right now I have a 29g (30x12x18). I have a perc, gramma, sixline, clown goby, and a yellow watchman. I love the 20 long (30x12x12). I want to hear your guys' opinions if my fish would be okay with out the extra height. For discussion purposes assume my filtration is adequate (which it is)...

Holy crap I want this tank: And I would love to sleep under this: check 'em out: http://acrylicaquariums.com/

So this is what I have in my 29 glass tank (30x12x18): False Percula ~ 2.5 in (swims) Royal Gramma ~ 2.5 in (swims) Black Clown Goby ~ 1 in (perches on rocks) Yellow Watchman ~ 1 in (sits on bottom) My favorite thing about his hobby, besides DIY, is the fish. I'm worried I'm at my limit for...

How hard would it be to put together an 18x18x18 starfire tank myself? I've seen other people build their own tanks and it doesn't look too hard. I would get corner braces and black silicone. Do you just make a bead along the inside of the tank? Any help would be appreciated.

So i've been kicking around the idea for a bigger tank. It won't be for a while but it never hurts to start thinking now. I love the Lion fish and was wondering what other fish would work with one. Just looking for opinions. Oh and I'm leaning toward a 90g tank.
