    Girlfriend melted center brace of my new 120 gallon tank

    Replacing the trim is a very easy process, there are many "how-to" guides on the internet. Basically you just slide a razor blade under both sides, pull the trim off, clean the glass, apply aquarium safe silicone, and replace with new trim. I've done it with tanks that had fish in them. Just...

    Extra Tall Aquarium Question

    I can tell you from experience that tall tanks can be a bit bothersome when it comes to maintenance. Stacking rock, vacuuming the substrate, scraping algae and removing fish are more of a pain in a taller tank. Taller tanks also have the disadvantage of smaller surface area, which means less...

    Disaster and Nanotanking

    ^ This is your answer right here bro. There is plenty of material out there on nano tanks, infact nano tanking has become somewhat mainstream, all the previous nano tankers have gone to picotanks(less than 5 gallons) The key is there is nothing different other than water volume. As with any...

    New Re-scape of Discus tank

    Ahh, My eyes never tire of the beauty of discus. A true shame that you lost the blues, perhaps it was stress from re-arrangement?

    Stocking Suggestions for a 55g

    I actually have been thinking about setting up a tank with some Ranchu, I just know that when I start it will be a slippery slope and multi-tank syndrome will set in once again. I would be splitting up different varieties, breeding out strains etc. Dwarf puffers would be cool, I just think they...

    Cuttlefish Pics

    Are these Sepia Bandensis? If so, where on earth did you get them, or should I say where on earth can I​ get them?

    Stocking Suggestions for a 55g

    Hey guys, It's been a while. Today I cleaned up one of my old 55g tanks and I want to set it up. The problem is the creative juices are at a stand still. Working at a tropical fish farm, I've had access to nearly every mainstream fish in the hobby, throughout the years I've had tanks showcasing...

    Core & Coil Ballast

    Hey guys, I was thinking of doing a DIY Metal Halide Floodlight setup, and was wondering if Core & Coil ballast are safe to use, I know they aren't as efficient as the Electronic ballast, but there is a considerable price differential(even on Ebay, I checked). Much Appreciated!

    Advice on reducing algae

    All good advice, I'd avoid the SAE and go with a couple of otocinclus though, Some of the SAE I've had got pretty aggressive as they got older. Once you hit the right balance of Nutrients/Light the algae problem should subside. Another option is of course plant more plants! I've found that if...

    Split tank.

    I see, well the anemone that I have at the moment is H.Crispa. Would you think that the chances of a symbiosis would be greater with that species over the BTA? I really didn't want to disturb it, as it's temperamental to change lol, but if it seems that It'd be a better candidate I can arrange...

    Split tank.

    I planned on painting the back and the divider of the tank blue,definitely don't want the clowns seeing eachother. I know that the Occelaris are unlikely to take up host in the BTA, but not yet feeling confident in my skills I am not going to attempt a Ritteri, or Carpet. I have seen some...

    Split tank.

    Hey guys, Now that I am comfortable with water chemistry and have had my anemone for a while I would like to try something. I have an empty 55g that I would like to divide and keep two pairs of clownfishes in, specifically my current pair of Occelaris, and perhaps a Pair of Clarkii in the other...

    How to best move a 55 gal freshwater at-capacity planted aquarium?

    It depends on how your moving it I suppose. My buddies and I have moved planted tanks this size and larger by catching the fish, putting them into a bucket with tank water, and draining the tank to the substrate and plants. Then loaded it into the truck sideways, got to our destination, set the...

    Rescue mission aka making PetSmartCo look good....

    I've seen fish that have gone longer without eating, that's not what I would be concerned about. I would suggest that she take those fish to a LFS before the inevitable ammonia spike, and then direct her to this website. Though your intentions are strong at heart, they will not likely sway any...

    bowing 29gal

    I've found that all tanks bow to a certain extent. I too have a 29g around your year and it does the same. I've also found that on aquariums of less than 55 gallons the top trim normally is there for nothing more than to support the hood/canopy. In fact many people take the trim off for a...

    HitchHiker ID

    hey guys I picked up a nice button polyp colony yesterday and when I got home I found some what appear to be SPS growths on the eggcrate with the polyps. I would assume the bleached spots are from where the button polyps have stung the beegezus out of them. Tell me what you think. PS:Sorry about...

    Zoa Size

    Thanks for the read Ace, Interesting how those Zoas grow on that sponge! I put some additional current over the Zoas, someone recently told me that they will grow longer skirts, do you know if there is any merit to this?

    Zoa Size

    Hey guys, Do Zoanthids come in an assortment of sizes? I recently picked up a nice rock and the polyps(which appear to be fully extended) are only maybe the size of a green pea, I ask because the majority of the Zoas that I have seen are maybe dime sized, and am just wondering if it's normal?
