    Oops. Lysol.

    My wife went nuts with a can of Lysol in the room where my tank sits a few weeks ago. Not knowing what else to do, or even whether the tank had been contaminated (though I can't imagine it wasn't), I did a large water change and added some carbon. I've done three ordinary water changes since...

    Tank size for clowns (hate to ask)

    I hate to ask, but I've been reading after an answer for days and have found quite a variety of sentiment. I'm setting up my first reef tank and my little girl really wants a clownfish in there. The tank's a DIY 20L AIO, the display is 24" x 12" x 12". What say we all? Thanks.

    Start cycle with ammonia?

    Whenever I'd cycle in a new freshwater tank from scratch, I'd use straight ammonia. Is that kosher for marine tanks?

    I mean to use acrylic to build a DIY AOI tank from a 40B, but have only the vaguest idea of what I'm doing. Here's my current design. Please critique. Thanks!
