Can anyone help me out here? I want to make my own tank, how would I go about doing so? What do I need? The tank size is a 180gal or a 220gal. Thanks for any info. :D

Try to use a plastic bowl of some sort, do not use a net you can hurt the fish. But make sure the plastic piece you use is big enough & long enough!!!! :D

Yes, all fish have to go into the Q-tank & you should not have a base, just a bare tank. You could use a hang on filter, use a poly filter instead of a carbon & test the PH often you should be fine. Hope everything works out for you!!!! If you are still unsure? Do a search on HYPOSALINITY it...

You run a good cycle w/ a few damsels, let it age a couple months, add just enough lr/ls in it, buy all the right filters, and equipment needed and so on and so on. Then after all that, you start buying fish,about 2-4 weeks apart or more, quarantine them for...
