I'm in the process of setting up a 120 gallon reef and I do not want to buy all live sand for the tank. I was thinking of using some live sand from my current 30 gallon tank to seed play sand or something similar. What brands of play sand are aquarium safe? I am planning on purchasing the sand...

I'm in the process of setting up a 120 gallon acrylic reef tank (48"x24"x24") and need recommendations for lighting. I have been thinking about 2 250 watt 14k MH with lumenarcs and 2 VHO actinic (I already have an Icecap 430 ballast). Would the 250 watt MH be sufficient or do I need to step up...

I have a barely used 55 gallon glass tank with stand for sale. I'm looking for $200 or best offer. The center brace can be removed from the stand to allow a sump or refugium to be placed under it. The tank is not drilled. I'm located near Gatesville, TX and would prefer for someone to pick it...

I would like to find a in sump skimmer with pump that will fit in a 9" X 8" compartment in my sump. What are some of the best small footprint skimmers?

I'm drilling a 55 gallon tank and want to know which is better to use....slip or threaded bulkheads? I would think threaded because they would allow easier removal of plumbing.

I was removing my HOB skimmer to clean it and a large chunk of salt fell from the bottom and landed right in the center of my anemone. It has now collapsed into a little ball!!! Can I do anything? I have had it for 6 years!!!

I have tried looking up information about this skimmer but I haven't been able to find anything. Which model ETSS is this?

I would like to drill a 55 gallon glass tank for overflows. I know the correct bit to use and have drill glass in the past with good results. I am fairly certain the bottom glass is tempered so I would have to drill the back of the tank. What is the best method for installing overflows in a back...

I am planning to run 3 48" VHOs on an Icecap 430 over a 55 gallon reef tank with soft corals and an anemone. What combination of bulbs would work best for this?

I think this one is grape kelp after posting the last time but I just want to make sure that it is not harmful. I am not sure about the next pic. I think it is some sort of algae but it is very bristly

This is a pic I took earlier as my anemone was moving from the back to the front of a rock. As you can see my clown was helping him move :)

This is just a pic of my conch I took earlier today.

Not sure what this is..

I am having trouble figuring out which silicone I can use to fix my refugium. Someone told me to use the GE 100% silicone but the only GE tubes I can find (door & window or kitchen & bath) say that they are not for use on aquariums but both are 100% silicone. I know that you can buy aquarium...

I am going to paint the inside of my canopy white and just wanted to know what is the best type of paint to use?

Well, after moving I figured out there was no way to fit my 100 gallon in so I sold it and got a 30 gallon long. I know that smaller tanks are harder to keep; so does anyone have any pointers? I have been in the hobby for a few years now so I think I will manage ok but a few good pointers always...

I am moving and must tear down my tank so I have decided to try drill it while I have it empty. What kind of bit do I need and where can I go about finding it? I have all the tools I would probably need to do the job I just need to know where I can find a bit and some guidelines to follow while...

I came in today and noticed my tank inhabitants and little less healthy than normal so I began testing the water. Shortly after beginning the tests my 2 year old flame angel fish died, then my pulsing xenias began to turn white. These are my test results Temp 82 PH 8.1 Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0...

My cleaner shrimp that I have had for over a year died today for no apparent reason. Everything in the tank looks cool and it had been eating well. Any ideas? I pulled it out and it isn't his exoskeleton so he wasn't just molting.
