    Protein skimmer opinions, please.

    I wanted to know the best protein skimmer for about $150 or less? I have a 55 gal FOWLR. I'll probably need one that hangs off of the tank because the sump isn't big enough and the way the cabinet was made underneath (not by me) is somewhat stupid. Thanks in advance!

    What do you do for water?

    New tank substrate question

Is there anything I could substitute? I read about something on here that won't cycle, but I can't find it anymore. Thanks in advance!

    55 gal Ideas?

    So me and my gf have a 14 gal BioCube with inverts and fish. Even though we knew better, we bought a baby dogface puffer (2"). We know he will need to go into a bigger tank, so we've been thinking a 55 gal would fit best into our budget and he would be comfy with only a couple other fish. We...
