Anyone have an idea of what a 120 gal (48x24x24) glass tank drilled /w two overflows will run?????

I've been working on building a cab for a 120 gal (48x24x24) tank. As far as the frame, this is what I'm planning to do. Notice that there is no middle support in the front. That's why I used a 2x6 at the top as a header. I believe this will be suffient. Any thoughts or comments would be...

I'm starting to plan and price out eqipment for a 75 gal reef. What do you recommend for equipment? Protien skimmers, lighting, LR, LS, etc. Thanks, Kevin Also, I've considered a 90gal which from what I understand would just be deeper. I know this starts to really increase lighting needs. What's...

Especially for you old "salt dogs", what's the oldest fish you have in your tank or have ever kept. My original salt tank had a domino damsel in it that was the first fish (circa 1991). My neighbor eventually bought the tank and all the fish. I spoke to her several years ago and she told me that...

I picked up his book today after hearing so many of you rave about it. I'm about half way through and have found it excellent. I finally undersatnd alot of the terminology you guys are using. Especially with filters and lighting. I do find his take on undergravel filters interesting because of...

I'm thinking about starting a lion only tank. Just one lion. Nothing else. What's the minimum size tank you'd suggest?

I've got a bonus room above the garage and am in the process of making it the family room. My question is would a 150 gal XH reef tank be too heavy for the floor. I talked to the guy at the LFS and he said no. How much do you think it'll weigh with stand?

Anyone know where I can find stand and canopy plans for a 90 or 125 gal aquarium? Thanks!

Hey guys! I finally got to the point where I could take some measurements at the house I'm building and found that I'd have enough room to put in a 120 gal. I originally had intended on a 90 gal. Which one is better for a reef? I've heard that since the 120 is longer and has more surface area...

I'm sure this question has been dealt with before but how do you set up a Q-tank? Say I wanted to do 10 gals. What equipment would I need to do this? When you guys get a new fish from the store do you always put them in your Q-tank first? For how long? Thanks!!! Kevin

I'm a little confused as the difference bewteen these two. I'm guessing that a reef is better equiped for inverts and anenomes. So waht exactly are the differences? What about equipment wise? If I set up a fish only and I wanted clowns, could I still out an anenome in there? Also, anyone got a...

Hi guys. I'm new to the board but like what I see so far and needed some help. I've been out of the marine tank hobby for abut 10 years but would like to get back in. My wife and I are building a new house and would like to put a reef tank in the living room. All I know at this point is that I'm...
