Hello everyone, It has been a while since I have been on the SWF forums. But it's good to be back . I now have a 2 month old 12g nano-cube (will post pictures soon), and I am ready to add my first fish(es). I was thinking about ordering 2 tank raised false percula's from SWF, however I...

Just about finished building my new 30 gal. stand, getting pretty excited. All I really have left to do is paint it, build a mount for power cords, and screw the cabnit doors back on. I'm thinking about painting it black, to match the back of the aquarium, a white or stained wood might take a...

I just built my own stand from scratch for a 30 gallon tank. Anyway's in the cabnits I made room for a sump. Now a 15 gallon sump deffinatly fits, and I might be able to squeeze in a 20 gallon or so if needed, but my question is, will I be able to fit all my equiptment (protein skimmer, heater...

During a power outage from a thunder storm what doed everybody do with their tank? Does anyone have batteries they run their equiptment on? Or do you all just wait, haha. Just curious.

I have never had a sump before and there is a lot I am confused on about them so I have some basic (probably) questions: 1. How does the Sump connect/hook to the Tank? 2. How big should the Sump be for a 30 gallon Tank? 3. When building a custom stand, is there anything you need to include in...

Which ASM protein skimmer should I use for a 30 gallon Reef tank? I saw the G-1 Is for recomended for tanks up to 75 gallons, then I saw that they have a new ASM-mini Nano skimmer, but I couldn't find any specs for the nano version, so I don't know if maybe it goes up to 40 or 50 gallons??? Does...

How big of a tank do BTA's need? Also, how large do they get? Thanks.

Yes! The time has come. I am moving to my new condominium in a couple of days and once I do I will finally be setting up my 29 gallon reef tank. I am posting this now so I can get some good input before I have to Unplug my Computer to take it with me, haha. I am new to saltwater, but I have read...

I saw a baby one today in a LFS paired with a little tiger pistol shrimp, they are AWSOME!

I am planning on getting a Yellow watchman Goby and a Tiger pistol shrimp for my 29 gallon Reef. I also am considering adding the Fridmani but I didn't know if it would go after the pistol shrimp or not? If anyone knows anything about dottybacks or has had any experience like this it would be...

I was wondering how often everyone feeds their fish/inverts? I have heard people say everyday and every other day, I'm assuming it depends on what livestock you have. I am just asking because I am wondering how often I would have to feed a Reef tank with 2 false percs, 1 YWG, and a fridmani? If...

Hi, i was looking at old threads on SWF.com and I saw a thread about you converting your 500 gallon to like an 850 gallon tank. However, I couldn't load any of the pictures. If it is no trouble I would LOVE to see some pictures of this tank. I have seen some pictures of yours in the past and...

Does anyone know of any good LFS in the Johnson City-Bristol-Kingsport Tennessee area? I am moving there soon and I am looking for a good LFS around the tri-cities area.

I still can't figure out what lighting i should get. I want to set up a 29 Gallon Rectangle reef tank. I would like to be able to house different types of corals without spending an arm and a leg for lighting. I don't completely understand the different types of lighting and what is good for...

I am looking to get a 30G rectangle reef tank, and i want to know if there is any lighting that will allow me to grow both soft/hard corals and anenome's. I have read that hard corals need different lighting then soft, and that anenomes need the most powerful, but is there any lighting that...

I have been looking at pictures of aquariums and fish and I have noticed that some of the Yellow watchman shrimpgoby's are a very bright, vibrant yellow...and others are more of a brownish-yellow color. What causes this? Is it lighting, diet, health, or is it just the color that they are...

Okay, I know some of the pro's and con's of both types of tanks, but which one is worth it to you all? The cheaper and less scratchable, or the lighter and more durable tank? I want around a 30G bowfront but i cannot decide which way to go...Iv'e read many articles online, but i wanted some of...

Is there any kind of starfish that could go in a nano tank(preferably 25-30G)? I plan on having a lot of live rock, 2 percula clowns, 1 yellow watchman goby & pistol shrimp, and 1 boxing crab...but i was just curious to see if there are any starfish that stay smaller and won't outgrow or need a...

I have been doing a lot of research and planning before i make any purchases, and before now i thought i wanted to buy a larger 75G sized tank but now i think i wan't to go the nano route (even though i have read it's harder to maintain) I feel i will be dedicated enough to keep it healthy...

I have heard that Tangs should not be togather unless they are in a large tank. Well, how large does the tank have to be? I havn't started my tank yet, but i was wondering if 1 Blue hippo tang and 1 Yellow tang could have enough room and get along in a 60 gallon tank. I don't want to put too...
