Do people still use canopys? Also what's the best way to prevent mold from growing on the inside of the canopy and stand? I've read some info on primers like kilz. I've also read mixed reviews on it that it doesn't prevent 100% mold and with some stuff it can potentially drip back into the sump...

HEy everyone, just purchased a lightly used marineland 60 gallon cube with a centre overflow and a custom stand and canopy. It was a price i just couldnt refuse. Not setting it up for another few months but want to knock out a few things so that when i do its good to go. First off plumbing. Now...

Need some opinions or from personal experience. Are water changes really necessary? For example if I'm dosing and I have very low phosphates and damn near 0 nitrates. Is there really a need for a water change if I don't need to dilute any high elements?

Hey all. So my suspicions first arose when I noticed a whole lot of pink coralline showing up. Which was great. The contrast between the two, purple and pink looked quite amazing. However, three days later the pink had turned all white. I suspected lack of calcium since I have added a lot of sps...

Hey all. My tank is over two years old. Have never kept sps's before have always wanted too. So about a week ago I decided to get a few easier to keep ones. From what I was told anyways. Just some info on my tank to maybe help someone answer my question easier. It's a sump less 20 gallon long I...

Hey all. I recently got the marineland reef capable LEDs with integrated timer and am liking it so far other then the lack of blue colour I want when the day times are on. It's more then enough when it's just the moonlight in fact it may be too much for my shallow tank. Anyways I've been looking...

So I don't have a sump so glass lid is out of the question. I have a plexi glass lid I made last year . With many holes drilled for chords and gas exchange and such. Heard though that it reduces a lot of the light from getting in. Any truth in this? Also I recently made a mesh cover with...

Ive read by many people that brine shrimp is not that great for fishies as it is more like candy for them then anything. This is the kind i feed my fish Aquarium Fish Foods: Hikari Frozen Brine Shrimp Food not sure since this stuff is vitamin enrcihed and all that jazz if it makes it much...

So the dying brain coral i got from my friend awhile ago is doing fine now, although, where the dead white part was on it, is now covered in a furry green algae. Maybe about the size of a dime. I pluck it as often as i can. Recently however, i notice it starting to grow on one of my rocks as...

Ive noticed over the past month my glass is really starting to get covered in what looks like green corralline to me. It comes in spots and is very difficult to remove, my magnet scrubber barely phases it. I manage to keep the front of my tank clean from it from constant cleaning though the back...
