My father's tank is 180 gallons and has a few fish. He added copper to treat his queen angel, so he can't have inverts. Before we used several horseshoe crabs to stir up the sand and prevent buildup What can we use instead?

The thead for the 1000 gallon puffer tank got deleted...was wondering if anyone had pics of it and the porc that was in it.

I'm trying to do it for under $400 if possible, using the big auction site where needed. I would like atleast 800 watts, and I'm very much a DIYer and handy with electrical. I was thinking running 3-400watt MHs, but the canopy is only about 8" from the surface of the water. PC would require...

Is there any repairing a bad ballast? I have two power compact ballasts that are bad that I'd like to resurrect if possible.

I have something on the bottom of my tank and I'm not sure what it is. It's like a bunch of very small white dots floating together in a clear fluid. The group is shaped like a strand and is about as thick as my thumb and about 4" long, floating and waving with the current of the water. It...

Will these live in the same tank together safely? 90 gallons with about 100lbs live rock and lots of hiding places. I know you can't keep two darf angels together, but would this e a problem?

I'm selling a 180 gallon salt water aquarium. It was running less than a month ago but I took it all down. Comes with everything you need to have a really nice fish tank. In the pics the tank and everything looks a little dirty because I just took all the sand and all out, but you can see how...

I recently bought a tank that was setup and transported it to my place...taking the cycled water and sand out and refilling it once home. I now have a brown algae problem and was wondering if it was from the sand being stirred up? Been a while since I ran one of these and help would be...

I have a 1megapixal camera I am barrowing from a friend and am trying to take some pics of my fish. Unfortunally they either come out with one of two results, they are blurry because the camera is focused on the background instead of the fish, or it's blurry due to movement. How do you guys...

Please read the argument before voting: it is obvious the great points about having a sig, but it seems some are excessively long. I counted one that is 16 lines! Of course it's great having a list of what is in your tank, what you are about, or any details for yourself, but there should be a...

I have a porcupine puffer in a 37 gal tank and an emperor 400 for filtration. The puffer keeps swimming to the intake and sits on it. I though he might be in distress but he's fine...I pushed him off with my feeder stick, he swam around for a sec then headed right to the intake to chill...

They have these 500 watt halogen bulbs (that go into high-power lamps) for about $10 at home depot... I'm not sure how to get a ballast or equiptment to run it, but lets assume I can get that. They look like they could work for an aquarium, but I'm not sure if it would. Just looking to see if...

You said you never do water chanes...I like that idea :) Where can I get one of those (or is it denitrator?) peices you have so I can do the same, and about how much did it cost? Possible to DIY? Thanks
