So my new Reef Octo BH100 arrived today, Despite the pump being a little larger than expected it looks so far so good. However I do have a couple of questions and I have searched and searched but haven`t really found an answer. So the instructions on setting it up are pretty bad, And i`ve...

Ok guys, I`m looking into building my own sump for my 29g. But I’m confused on a few areas. I`m thinking about using a 10G glass Aquarium, just because that will fit nicely under my stand. Would this be too small? Would it be ok to my acrylic separators with the glass aquarium. Now I`ve...

Greetings, Since resetting my tank back up I’ve had a problem with this think green algae. It’s not like hair, it’s more like a slime, I’ve tried repeated water changes, but it always seems to come back, any idea as to how I could be rid of it for good? I have just started building up a...

I got to thinking at work today, about the cycling of my tank. Now I have 2 mature freshwater setups. Would it be feasible to take some of the filter medium out of one of those tanks and use it to help the bacteria in my SW tank, or am I just more likely to add unwanted pests to my SW tank? If...
