I want to put on a giant skimmer I have onto the back of my 10 gallon AIO tank(reef/going to be reef). It is an instantocean Seaclone100 with a maxijet 1200 as a pump. It fits perfectly in the back sump from where the water enters the fuge(the maxijet) then pumps out into a chamber before my...

I turned my lights on after a long blackout and there are a few small little things that look like little tiny jellyfish or spiders or something. they were clear and I didn't see them after the lights came one. Any pages with a list of things I can look through to find them?

So I recently gt a 36 gallon bowfront tank and want to change my plans again but I need to know a few key things before I jump in(again). So my plans for the tank were to make a tank for a dwarf fuzzy lionfish. But since I don't have alot of money i only want to keep one tank. Wanting a reef...

I have a light system that would go over my 55 gallon tank(Not up an running yet) but the legs of it make it so I can't cover my tank so fish can't jump out. So I want to build a canopy but I don't know how to build one or fit in the light. Any advice on how to build it? Dimensions: Tank...

So as some know I have some problem with my tank. It was brought to my attention it might be dino. I got some pictures of the rock and everything. If it is just a diatom then I don't have a clue to what killed my snails and coral. any help would be great. Thanks. Also there are...

So I was wondering if I could add Crushed coral or some other substrate that has larger grain then my sand which is really fine. Maybe something that can help with building in the sand(Inhabitants). Of course this would be dry sand going into a cycled tank. thanks

Hello I have a 10 gallon AIO Nano Reef I started about 2 months ago with not alot of success and a late diatom that killed what little I had. Since I have been unsuccessful with coral and snails I want to find out the problem(Diatom algea, Overpowering light, or alkalinity even though I tested...

A few days after I put my coral in(a Zoa frag, 3 small green shrooms, some GSP) I started getting a diatom bloom. not just a little but ALOT. it has grown on the mat of the GSP and they have not come out for a few days. My zoas have never fully opened since the day I got them. and just today my...

I really want to start my 55 gallon tank up after I get my 10 gallon finished with a light and a fish or something. I had this really cool idea of a display fuge using an extra 20 gallon I have. I don't want to show the skimmer I have so I want to the connect the 20 gallon that will be a...

I have been careful for awhile testing my param. I was comparing my tests..they looked same as usual but read zero(using API) could it be they were at zero all along? I test every 2 days and to be careful I always rounded my tests up to be careful. Specs, 10 gallon tank, Chaeto algea, 4lb LR...

So I am doing my first water change in my 10 gallon tank. It has cycled and has been recommended to do a water change to raise calcium and lower Nitrates/ites. The pH is 7.8 in the tank and the water I am going to put in is 8.2. Will that raise the pH in the tank enough to notice(1.5 gallon...

I have some base rock in my 10 gallon tank that is too big. It started cycling and has been cycling for 14 days. Can I remove the rocks and replace with smaller ones? Would it take out the stuff that has grown on it(little black marks that I don't know where they came from and are very small)...

I had an ammonia spike 2 days ago and tested today and it went back down. Did thetank cycle? Should I just wait for a diatom bloom then add a CUC? This is for my 10 gallon tank which is my first and I am alittle confused on what has happened and what I should do. Here are my readings

I have a 55 gallon tank that I will make into a reef as soon as I can(focusing on my 10 gallon at the moment). Although at one point I had water in it for quite awhile with no problem. I am afraid that it might break with sand and rock in the tank. The stand has no support besides on the edges...

Looked in my tank and there was this red algae on my rocks. I did alittle research and think it is cyano. It also has bubbles on it which I don't know where they are from since I have nothing making bubbles besides the overflow part. I guess form extended light hours caused this. It is a 10...
