Quandry: So the set up for this D#$@ 180g has me stressing out between the substrate and the filtration. I found a Fluvial Fx6 on sale with 5 types of media and then I was thinking about drilling in the tank and going with a LifeReef two siphon overflow box as well with either an automatic...

On my 90 I'm running an eheim 2217 canister only Figured with the cost of the Sunsun 304b on eBay, really can't go wrong & worth a shot to get some more filtration... So those of you running the aquatop, marineland, sunsun, etc, could use some insight before placing my order! Really not up to...

I've recently moved to Albany, NY and the water isn't nearly as hard as it was at college or in Virginia. My water has settled in the mid 7's and I'd like to bump that up a bit without using chemicals (I'm fine with chemistry but I don't like chems). I'm looking into getting some crushed coral...

I am getting ready to completely overhaul my 180 and do something different. While I'm very excited to set something new up, its not what I'd choose if the budget weren't an issue. If I had the choice, I'd do a tank with minimal scaping, mostly just sand and a few pieces of bogwood, filled...

To keep myself more occupied, I've decided to venture into the nano world. I already have the tank and parts, I just need stocking options. I know I want to do plants for sure, but not sure for fish stock. I'm open to anything really, except catfish. I'll even do shrimp :p I'd prefer to have...

I confess that I still don't quite "get" which bulbs are best for planted tanks. Am going to try -- again -- a low-light set-up. I'm really good at high light/co2, but don't want to do that. So looking at new fixtures and am confused. Is 10K daylight a suitable bulb for a planted tank? What...

Hey guys, I have room in my computer room for a 36" tank. I'm thinking of a tank for sand/shellies in the bottom layer and some free swimmers above them. My question, are there any top level Tangs that would make a 46bow or 50 good over a 40 breeder? After I get a tank I will be picking...
