I've been thinking about setting up a freshwater fish tank at work at my desk because me and some co-workers thought we needed something to lift our spirits on crappy days at work (which are more common these days...) I was planning on doing this a while ago but when I changed my 55 gal tank to...

ok, so i have a 10 gal tank and i was wondering if a Six-line wrasse could live in my tank. I have a mis-bar clown fish, a blue-green chromis, serpent star, one astria snail, one blue legged dwarf hermit crab, horse shoe crab, two blastos coral, and a cluster of Zoas. there is a fair amount of...

It's been a long time dream of mine to start a saltwater tank, but I always feared the cost of setting up a tank, so I've stuck with freshwater up until now. A couple weeks ago I decided to upgrade my 10 gal freshwater instead of setting up a saltwater, so I bought a 55 gal and moved all of my...

Hey all, Thought id post this here since it is a nano forum. I also thought this would help others too. So two weeks ago I started my 10 gallon tank. I intially thought my tank was a 20 gal. That wasn't true once I measured it. The tank was gifted from a friend who now regrets the offer because...

i'm looking to upgrade my lights for my 10 gal. i would like to be able to start putting corals in there and i plan i buying a 30 gal tank sometime in the future. I'm hoping to buy lights that would work for both a 10 gal and eventually a 30 gal. Does anyone have any recomendations?

hey there TRT, how is everyone today. I have a little 10 gal nano reef that is in its infancy, it has been going for about 3 months now and i have had no major problems. i have about 5 and a half pounds of live rock, and about 20 pounds of black sand. i have a aqua-clear filter rated up to a 20...

Anyone say you could house a 6 line in a fish only tank with a goby or blenny or something?

Well........Here it goes. This will be my first Nano reef. Ive had Larger ones in the past but sold them off over the years:doh: Never sell your tanks folks. I have had this tank lying around in the garage for a few years now and I decided to make a spectacle of it. In my possesion I Have...

After a rather ponderous speculation, I have decided to incorporate a sump into my 20 gallon nano reef! I plan to do this next month when I get the supplies for my birthday. (dec 08) I will be faced with a bit of a obstical, or a test of nerves if you will. My tank has live stock, not much but I...

I am completely new to saltwater but I have a lot of freshwater experience, what Im wanting to do is start somewhere from a 10-30 gallon reef tank. What all equipment would I need? Including lights skimmers ect? Id like to have lots of coral as well as fish and urchins if possible. Any Advice...

Hi, I have a ten gallon nano reef tank that has some corals (caps, zoos, green birdsnest, mushroom). It also has hermits, snails and a pompom crab. Does anybody have any ideas of something small thats totally reef safe and wont eat corals? Maybe an anemone shrimp? I have heard that sexy shrimp...

Ok, So after some serious planning and a lot of help from the forums, I am deciding to go ahead with this build. First and foremost I would like to acknowledge FutureDoc as this is something he already did and I am just showing my progress with the tank and want to take it one step further in my...

I am planning my 10 gallon sump and need to maximize the real estate in it. I want to plan things around the skimmer, but I'm not sure what to buy, so I wanted to ask for suggestions. I would like the skimmer to go up to maybe 90 gal so that if I get a bigger tank I can use the same skimmer...

I have had a 29 gal. fish-only tank I've been using for the past two years. I planned later on maybe one day trying corals but I just havent spent the money into yet to have the proper lighting setup, etc. There is nothing wrong with the tank and it's held up pretty nicely for me. But I was...
