I just set up a 55g RR with a 20gL sump in my room, well there's a leak around the overflow of the DT so I'm going to test the sump and dt and hopefullly seal it up. But I've been give the ultimatium of it's going in the garage or it's gone period. So anyways what would I need to do to have it a...

Ok friday I got a retrofit kit last friday locally used. It came in an ugly wooden box which did have holes on the side for fan, and the screws on fan held a zip-tie which are around the caps on the VHO's. There are two VHO's on the edges of a bent used reflector which also houses two metal...

Going to order some soon and wondering if 90lbs is overkill.

I just downgraded from a 125g to a 55g RR last week because I did not have the space for my 125g. It has a 20g long sump and I have the stuff for plumbing ready. I have 40lbs of sand waiting to go in the DT, and I'll get some for my sump later. I just put in an order for a Mag Drive 700, a...

I am setting up my new 55g and am wondering what should I buy/order offline first. Obviously sand and water and a Mag 7 pump is necessary to get the cycle going and a test kit to make to monitor water levels. I'm on a limited budget and don't know wheter to make the big purchase of 90lbs of...

I just recieved a 55g RR and am trying to decide on what lights to get. I don't want to spend too much, since I don't have a lot of money as a poor high school student. Unless I find some used lights locally that are high enough wattage, I'm just going to stick to fish only with maybe some...

Would it be possible to mix the first batch of saltwater in the aquarium with sand in it? I was thinking of getting black sand that I saw at Petsmart, so I'm guessing it's not live. Also I got some dried rock that I don't know if those will go in the sump or not, but those aren't live either...

Well I'm downgrading from my 125g to a 55g, RR, with a 20g long sump. I have probably 30lbs of dried live rock sitting around which I could use in the sump, thinking about using black sand for the DT, getting refegium mud for the sump, and getting some cheato for the sump also. Then getting...

I'm possibly getting a 55g Reef Ready and wondering how to keep algae out of the main tank. I understand that there is good algae and bad algae, but I have a mother that freaks at any sign of algae in the DT. If I do the sump thing and just have live rock in there, will algae spread to the main...

I've been out of the hobby for a couple months now and have been missing it, sorta. All of my aquariums have seem to be disasters and right now I just want something simple and cheap. I've had a 125g FO and got one of those fancy salt testers, but I misread the directions so I kept adding FW to...

I'm thinking about learning how to play guitar and probably teach myself so I was wondering if anyone knew of a good electric guitar that's around 150$ that'd be easy to learn on. I have an amp already. And if anyone knows of a good program that teaches guitar (DVD, Book, etc) that'd be...

Well found this today, looks almost like a tube worm thing such as feather dusters but it's not open like dusters. Maybe it's developing. I've never had any feather dusters added to the tank also. Also this is relatively new.

Been a long time since I've been on here but I'm still in the hobby. Still have the 24g Aquapod but here's the set up/stock list and plans for it. 24g Aquapod with Stand 150w Sunpod 14k HQI Metal Hallide Penguin BioWheel filter Oceanic Biocube Skimmer ORA Black and White Percula Clownfish...

Just wondering if this amazing angelfish would nip corals in my reef.

I have a 24g aquapod and wanted something different for it. I dont have any fish in there, but I do have a cleaner shrimp, xenia, and zoanthids. I want something that won't eat my cleaner shrimp, but something different and soemwhat aggressive. Frogfish sound awesome but I'd be worried about my...

Just set up a 10g I had laying around. Bought gravel and filter today, had tank and stock lights laying around. Going to get some plants and use them as a sorta background. This tank will be for a pair of German Blue Rams, a dwarf chicilid, and maybe a cory cat, cherry shrimp, and some kind of...

I was thinking of the idea of joining the air force once I'm out of high school and get a BA or MA in engineering while being in the Air Force. Just wondering if anyone did that and if they think that was better than just going to a college. I know that if you served in the armed forces you're...

I looked in the FAQ section and there wasn't much there, have had it for a couple days, phosphates and nirtates are fine. I can't get a good pic but it's short and covering a couple rocks. It's like a grass almost and has a yellowish-green color.

Well I have a 24g Aquapod and I can't decide on what to get as a stocklist. I like the B&W Occ. Clownfish but clownfish are harder to bred so I was wondering if I could do a pair of B&W Occ. Clownfish and a pair of Bangaii Cardinalfish. Would there be terrirtory issues? I've noticed most people...

Well me and my buddy were talking about equipement or something and how easy a refractometer is compared to a hydormeter, and he said you only have to add the DI water once to fix your tihng with the [hr] driver, and I thought you add 2 drops of DI water everytime to even out the salinity...
