    Aquarium Options

    I will be upgrading to a larger tank in the upcoming months or so but want to know what options are out there for aquarium manufacturers. Looking into 100gal or larger. I’ve looked at Red Sea, Waterbox, and Marineland, but what other manufacturers are out there? Or otherwise recommended?

    Cyanobacteria

    Thank you both. I will look into the egg crate or clear screen material. Or just remove the lids altogether. Future thinking, and a bigger tank, if I want to get an eel what type of top should I have. I’ve read and heard that eels are known to escape and “commit suicide”.

    Is going from an FO to an FOWLR a big difference? I’ve started to write a list on what I all need but there are so many different articles and videos out there. I would like to hide everything in my stand so I assume a sump would be best.

    Thanks for the info! So a normal HOB filter with what type of media? Why that vs a canister? Because of the rock? And what type of bleach to clean the tank and heater? Or what is that process like?

    Hi all, I’ve recently decided that I want to convert my freshwater tank into saltwater however, I’m a bit nervous and unsure about a few things. I’ve been doing some research and understand it’s a process. I currently have a 65 gallon tall, cascade canister filter, heater, air pump, the works...
