So a little background on how this happened! My boss knows how crazy I am about fish haha, so when his dad wanted to get rid of his cube he thought of me. When he asked if I wanted it I asked how much, his reply "if you come get it, you can have it". How do you turn that down!? Lol The tank was...

So I would like to make a sump for my 20g reef. It doesn't need to be anything fancy so I would like to use a "rubbermaid" type container. I have a few questions though, is there a certain type of plastic I want? I don't know if some kinds leak things out or anything. Thanks! Cole

So this stuff used to come a little when my old t5 bulbs started to die. But I have LED's now so that's not it. Seems like no matter how much water I change it doesn't subside. If I can just figure out what it is that'll help. Its like white and fuzzy-hair but nothing like how green hair algae...

So I finally got my Reef Breeders LED fixture in and I love it! It came with the harness but nothing to actually hang it with. Im curious how y'all hang your fixtures, and the best way to go about this. Thanks! Cole

So about every six months when my T5 bulbs start to go I start to see algae come up. I'm at 8 months now, and have a LED fixture on the way. In the meantime I'd like to know what exactly this stuff is, I hate it! Thanks, Cole

So i've slowly been acquiring more and more LED tanks. Now the only T5HO lights I have are on my 20H. And as the pattern repeats, at about 6-7 months on the bulbs I start getting cyano. Spend $80 on new bulbs and my problem ceases. Well im pretty sure I can light my tank with LED's for not too...

So its an Aqueon Evolve 8, stock LED light, I'm getting this flowing algae. ammo, nitrite, and nitrate are all 0ppm. Lights are on from 3:00pm to 9:00pm. The plants themselves look great and have good growth, the algae doesn't seem to be hindering their growth at all. Any ideas?

So I've started seeing these tiny snails lately, not in crazy numbers, but enough that I notice them, mainly on the glass. But tonight I was looking at the tank with an LED flashlight and noticed something.. There are literally hundreds of these tiny little snails, ALL over my rocks. What are...

So long story short my girlfriend of 2+ yrs has a tank in her room. Its a 5gallon pico reef. Prom is coming up and want to put a little sign in there saying "Prom?" To ask her. I want to use this little thing: Make a sign like this (bad drawing haha): And attach the sign to the back...

Have no clue haha

I have a leather frag that I can't get to glue to save my life.. I've tried everything. A ton of glue, a little bit of glue, putting it in a cup with holes drilled in it so there's practically zero flow, etc. So the last attempt I glued it to the rock, and then loosely tied dental floss around...

So I was taking the xenia out of my 3g(slightly neglected) tank and all of a sudden noticed these jellyfish like things jumping around at the front glass.. I tried to take pictures and a video but its really hard to get it to focus.. But ill post what I got. So anyone know what these are? If...

Im considering gluing some of my gsp to the back wall.. Has anyone done this before? What do y'all think? Thanks!

I'm in the market for some new bulbs and these seem like where it's at haha. I'm looking for a bluer looking tank, its a little white for my tastes right now.. Im running 2 10k, and 2 actinics. I don't know much about either bulb brand, so choosing bulbs is kinda hard haha, what would y'all...

I'm looking for a reliable TDS meter at a decent price. Which ones do y'all use? Thanks!

The hair/spider web like stuff on the glass. It has little things "budding" off the main "string" The two translucent white "tubes". They're soft/squishy. They've been there a while, watched them get bigger and bigger haha. Don't seem to be a threat at all. Maybe one of y'all have an idea...

So I have a MJ1200 running my gfo reactor and my temp is getting up to 84.2°F!!! I believe its the problem as I can feel it is warm when touch it. Is this a common problem with these pumps? Thanks!

With this light: http://www.petmountain.com/product/aquarium-led-light-fixtures/11442-573508/wavepoint-6-8-watt-super-blue-10000k-daylight-micro-sun-led-high-output-clamp-light.html Support medium light corals(if any)(zoas, palys, gsp) on a 13" tall tank? I know nothing about LED's haha Thank...

So I'm starting to get some cyano, is it cause my photoperiod is too long? Phosphate: 0ppm Nitrate: 5ppm Photoperiod: actinics 10hrs, whites 8hrs. I feel like this is the problem.. Thanks!

Okay so I hate the light/filter it came with. Want a replacement. Perferably a clip on LED, and without being too much money possibly one that can support some mushrooms? The tank is 13" tall. What do y'all think? Thanks!

So like the title says, do I have enough light for a BTA, if its high up on the rock? 4 x 24w t5 on a 20H: 2 x Actinic 2 x 10k Thanks!

I was given some green spaghetti leather, did a little research, found it needs med-high light, went ahead and put it up on my top rock. I have a 4 x 24w t5, 2 x 10k, 2 x actinic, think it'll be enough light? And tell me if you think it looks okay, it looks like it went limp.. Even it first...

What kind of glue do y'all use to mount coral when you frag them?

Well I'm really tired of buying gallon jugs of distilled water now so I'm in the market for an RO/DI unit, I do not know anything about them though. I have a 20 gallon tank, and that's it right now. It's not a lot, but I want one that doesn't take forever. Maybe 100gpd? Would like to try and get...

I have a hydor korilla 600gph powerhead that was given to me. It's too much to use for my 20H. So could I wire I light switch dimmer into it to make it adjustable? Or is that just a really bad, huge fire hazard idea? P.S. I'm a very competent solderer and have done electrical work before. I'm...
