I have a question for all those that have LED’s. Actually I have a couple questions. I am currently running two 4foot shop lights with two bulbs each. I am wondering if running LED’s would put out more light and if so… about how much more? I am also wondering if running the LED’s would save...

There have been quite a few folks here that have helped me with my journey into saltwater. While my knowledge on SW is not sufficient to help others yet, my knowledge on photography is. There have been a couple of folks that has mentioned wanting help on bettering their photography skills...

Does anyone know of any good fish stores in Memphis, TN?

I am looking at a few different units and I had a couple of questions that popped into my head. I know you can get an auto shutoff for the RODI units. Question I have is can you run multiple shutoffs on one RODI unit. Here's my thought process. I'd need an auto shutoff in the can for my RODI...

What is the main differences between the Marineland Emperor vs. the Marineland Penguin. Is it just that the Emperor has the spraybar? Which one would be better for a salt tank?

A thought has creeped into my mind. I know... not a good thing when you have such a small mind... but none the less... it's there now. With my freshwater tank.. I'd just run the hose out the front door and water the flower beds when it came time to do a water change. I'm pretty sure I dont...

Since I have been looking at building a salt tank I have been doing alot of reading. It seems like there is more different types of overflows than you can shake a stick at. I'm sure they all fall in the following categories... Good, better, and best But the question is... are those categories...

I will soon start construction on my custom stand for my first SW tank. What can I use to help waterproof the inside where the fuge will be? Keep in mind I will have to be able to pick it up at either Lowes or Home Deopt. Where I live my options are limited.

I think it was Flower that showed me the Fish and Invert pocket guides (thanks ) Does anyone know if they have something similar for corals? I tried to do a search on Amazon and was coming up empty.

I hope I can swim... because I just jumped off the deep end and into the big water. Here is my first SW tank build. Aint she a beauty. Yeah... I know. She needs a little TLC. At one time I had African Cichlids in her and she's been sitting empty for over a year. I bought her and her twin...

I have been putting off getting into saltwater partly because I am trying to claw my way out of debt. Well the bug is biting again and Im not sure how long I can keep it away. I do have another very long term project that is taking up most of my extra cash but I think if I go bare bones I can...

I understand the need for a QT tank, but there are a few things that are puzzling me. Do you keep them running year around so you're water is cycled? If the answer is no... then how do you deal with the cycle and introducing fish and inverts to the tank? In my way of thinking... now your...

Chances are if I ever get a salt tank going it will end up in a room that the ambient stays around 79-81* year around. Is this going to cause any problems?

Looks like I was mistaken on the size of the bow front I was thinking of getting for my salt tank. Anyone know what size it REALLY is. It's like they added a bow front onto the front of a 55g tank. It's 4 foot long, 12 inches deep on the sides.. then 18 inches deep in the middle. Im guessing...

I live at least an hour and a half (one way) from a real fish store. My closest ***** is even 40 mins or so away (one way)... so since I am in the planning stages I figured I would ask this question before it happens. If you were in my boat in reguards to not having access to local supplies...

For those of you who keep your records the old fashioned way with pen and paper. How do you go about it? Do you make charts to fill in? Just use a calendar? What all are you recording? Photos of your set up may help those of us trying to get ideas. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone built a custom stand and canopy for a bow front tank? If so do you have links to your build? Photos? I am looking for a larger tank and I may be able to get my hands on either a 72g or 75g (not sure) bowfront tank. I want to do a custom cabinet for it but not really sure how to work...

Hello all, I'm new to the site and I have soooo many questions. I guess that's a good thing that I'm willing to ask before I jump in head first. Especially since it looks like a saltwater tank is gonna cost an arm and a leg. I'd rather do it right the first time vs. having to rinse and repeat...
