    My 75 gallon upgrade build

    A move is always time for an upgrade! I am no good with plumbing but I know a couple of people on here have a manifold (as do I) so hopefully they will chime in. How many "Ts" do you plan on running and what do you plan on running off the manifold? Is it possible to upgrade your sump...

    Upgrading 75 Gallon to 200 Gallon... good idea or bad?

    Tank and stand: Look at AO and Trop for prices. I think AO is running a sale right now on tanks, do not know if the 200 is in there, but a good place to start. Lights: This is the most important and possibly the most expensive piece of your project. First what corals do you want? If you...

    sbelyo's 120 build

    Disregard what I said about the silicone stuff, I rememberd who I heard it from and talked to them. It was a grease you put on the silicone BEFORE you put it in storage, not after. Again, leak test the thing.

    sbelyo's 120 build

    I know there are a lot of fans of glass holes on here (indcluding myself) so good choice with them. You probably want to drill first and then paint. Considering the tank is old and you have not done anything to it, have you leak tested it? You can basically just fill it up with tap water and...

    Scopas Tang stuck to Koralia

    +1 to this, especially a Koralia. Is the fish thin? Is there any visible disease?

    Kole Tang Losing Weight

    If a fish is eating well and slowly losing weight it can be a sign of an internal parasite. Prazi is was of the better ways to deal with it.

    My tang has lateral line disease !

    Pick up some selcon and the elos food aminos. Soak your food and nori in those two things and feed them to your fish. It will heal over time. There have been some papers showing that carbon, when ground up, can irritate the skin and lead to HLLE in tangs.

    My first build thread (29g Biocube)

    You were probably looking at the wild caught gold assesor which fun around $100. The ORA ones run around 40-50, that is why I suggested waiting for a store to get an ORA one in. They do so much better too.

    My first build thread (29g Biocube)

    Went over to live aquaria and took a look at the purple striped dottyback and would probably not risk it: A 30 gallon or larger aquarium with numerous hiding places provides a good environment. It should be housed with moderately aggressive fish that are larger than itself. It will eat...

    Hi All!

    Sounds like everything is going well, thank you for dropping in. A nano is always the answer if you think about setting up a tank.

    My first build thread (29g Biocube)

    Firefish are incredibly bright and colorful and would do great in a 28g. They also generally spend most of the time out in the water column. The possum wrasses out there are also probably a better match for a 28g and will allow you to have multiple fish in the 28g instead of one. You can also...
