    Attempting first saltwater tank, could use some advice

    A friend interested in going a 5 gallon tank after seeing my 20 long pointed something out to me... But for some reason I can't put the link on this site... (Sorry, I was messing it up, the link is at the bottom) I'll try to just explain it then. Basically, he took a 5.5 gallon and used a...

    Attempting first saltwater tank, could use some advice

    Question on overflow, I think i'll go with the hang on overflow system, if I ever upgrade or anything like that I'll drill, but since this is new, I won't destory anything yet. What should I be looking for in a return water pump? I'm thinking my sump will be 2-4 feet below the display tank. I'm...

    Attempting first saltwater tank, could use some advice

    Attempting first saltwater tank, could use some advice

    I've had pretty good luck with freshwater aquariums over the last few years and started thinking about trying my hand at saltwater. I don't want another gigantic tank in my house (already have a 75, 55 and a few small things), and read about Nano Tanks. I've searched through a few guides and...
