    Getting into the game - WTB CHEAP CORALS

    I think I'm ready to get into corals, so I'm looking for some really cheap ones to start out with. Keep in mind that I'm a college student and can't afford anything too crazy. Just post or shoot me a PM of what you have. Can't wait to brighten up the tank

    Attempting a Sump - I have no idea what I'm doing

    So I want to try a sump to increase my bioload. What I have is a 20gallon long that I would like to turn into a sump/fuge. I have included a picture of what I want to do to it. The bad thing is that the sump will have to be placed next to my tank/stand because my stand isn't big enough to house...

    What is the smallest sump available?

    I have a 75 gallon and would like to add a sump to increase my bioload. What is the smallest sump available? My stand only has two cabinets. The sump could be tall, just not super wide or long. Any suggestions?

    Any way to offset Bio-Load

    I've been seeing a lot about bioload lately. Is there any way to offset bioload, say by increasing the size of your C.U.C.? Thought about getting another fish for my tank, and while I believe he has ample room to swim, I was warned I would be close to my "bio-load".

    Looking to Trade For Corals, Anemones, or Fish

    I know this probably isn't supposed to be posted under here, but I know some guys don't always check the regular classifieds. I have a large CPR fuge that is in excellent condition.

    Does Anybody Have Some Coraline Shavings They Would Sell Me?

    Hey everyone, I had my old tank "crash" so I had to put everything into a brand new tank. In my old tank, I had a big plastic piece (I think it was a soapbar holder lol) that was covered in coraline algae that a guy had sent me when I tried corals. Unfortunately the piece dried out as it was on...

    The 72 Died, but the 75 Has Risen

    So my 72 bowfront sprung a giant leak (a week after resealing), so rather than deal with that mess yet again, I went out and bought a 75 gallon. Everything has made it thus far except for a cleaner shrimp. I've included some pictures of the mess I had to deal with in my apartment and how the 75...

    Huge Leak - I'm Done

    I just finished resealing my 72 bowfront last week as one of the seals went bad. Was watching the debates tonight and heard the back crack. I'd estimate the water loss at 2 gallons a minute. I managed to get everything out minus the sand before there was too much damage. The actual back of the...

I won't be able to get to the leak because the tank is full. So.... in my opinion I have two options. 1) Drain the tank, put...

    WTB: Refugium and Powerheads for my 72 gallon

    I just upgraded to a 72 gallon and decided that a refugium would be beneficial to my tank. If anyone has an aquafuge or something similar, please let me know. A light would be great with it but it isn't a neccesity. I'm also looking for some good powerheads for the tank as I need some more...
