So i've been trying to get the old visijet skimmer that came with my tank to function...and it seems there really is just no hope for it. Does anybody have an suggestions for HOB skimmers that aren't going to break the bank and still get the job done? 55g tank with no sump/refugium. Thanks!

I need to put bulbs in my hot5. its a 4 bulb 54w 48in over a 55g. I'd love a tutorial or if someone could point me somewhere about how to make the tank look a certain way ex. blue or make the corals stand out more, etc. I like the tanks i've seen on here and when i have been trying to learn...

Well i really enjoy looking at everyone else's tanks for inspiration as well as just learning the names of the many different corals and fish. It's also great to watch the progressions of the tanks. Accordingly i thought i would toss some up too. Sorry about the quality of the pics so far. Can't...

Title pretty much covers it. How often do you test your water? Daily? weekly? Only certain things unless something looks off? I know there will be personal preference and things specific to each tanks inhabitants as always. The tank of the months are going to need a little more precision than...

What does everyone on here prefer to do when they leave for x number of days? A night or 2? a week?

Tiny clam i picked up from aquapros! He's got quite a few more if anyone's looking. Picked up a lifetime supply of calcium for him too (or at least it seems like it).

I just got a powerhead (koralia 425, 425gph) for my nano (14g). I've been trying to get the placement down to make everything happy. My frogspawn seems to be stressed and shrunk up with the flow now, even though it's not getting a ton... do they just take a little time to adapt, or should i move...

New alveopora i picked up today from aquapro's. Looking happy already! As an aside, I'm learning that it's quite hard to take pictures of things in a tank. Any tips? Don't mind the excess putty, i was having trouble keeping it in place.

As a precaution i shut off my protein skimmer since a newly acquired anemone decided his first adventure was to squeeze through the grates of the overflow to the back part of my cube. He was halfway through when i woke up 2 days ago, so i turned off the skimmer. The nem has now been rescued and...

This tank was my first voyage into saltwater. As you may have seen before i picked up a 14g acrylic cube from gus off the forum sans lights. When i went to the store to pick up a cfl, I felt that they just didn't seem safe enough from water splashing up, corrosion and so forth. Not wanting to...

Whats the best value for the test kits on the market. I'm not exactly sure what i should be worrying about testing at this point. I posted a bit ago about my tank, 14g nano with live rock/sand and 2 clowns. Bought it setup water incl. just added fish 2 weeks or so ago. would like to in the...

Just got my first saltwater tank within the last week. Now i'm in the process of realizing how much there is to know! Makes the freshwater tank i got a few months ago seem so easy. Got a 14g nano off a forum, just needed to add lights and fish. Have 2 clowns in now (not room for much more), and...
