Hello Everyone! So for my birthday my parents bought me a brand new 20 gallon long tank! It's been set up for 5 days now, and I am so excited! I'm letting the tank cycle and will be closely monitoring all its levels. Here is my question: I have been breeding clownfish and now have 2 clutches...

Howdy! I've set up a 20 gallon tall and have been having issues with a green/brown coating of (what I assume is) algae collecting on the glass and sand bed. I've had the tank running for about three weeks and it appears to be fully cycled. I've taken water samples to my LFS and had a full...

Hi I currently have a 20 gallon long fowlr but have upgraded all of my equipment to be suitable for a reef tank. This tank is 3 years old and has about 18 pounds of live rock and 25 of live sand. All parameters have been stable until I lost a serpent starfish about a month ago. I immediately...

Hey guys (and girls), I have a 20 Gallon FOWLR. I currently run a Penn & Plaxx Cascade 500 canister filter. A 100W heater. A corallife digital thermometer. That pretty much wraps up the equipment. The tanks has a Shallow Sand Bed, 30 pounds of live rock, and lots of hiding places. The...

Hello! I started cycling my 20 gallon tank that contains 20 pounds live rock and 16 pounds live sand. I have also been adding some bio spira here and there. (if that matters) I also put a dead shrimp in there for a little but not more than 10 hours I think I just took a reading of my...

Hello again reefers. A few weeks ago I purchased a 20 gallon saltwater aquarium off a guy that had it set up for over a year. Nice tank, he gave me everything including 3 coral for 100 dollars. Not a bad price I didn't think. The coral included was a large frag of green star polyps, fluorescent...

Hi. I was wondering what are some stocking options for a 20 gallon long tank? I decided to put this here, instead of in the nano tanks section, because I am asking about what fish I can put in it, nothing about how to care for it. So... I know firefish are a good option. I also like the...

Hi guys, this is my first post after reading and snooping for several years now. I have taken bits and pieces of a lot of threads trying to create the best chance for life and growth in my tank. I was hoping you all could answer my last couple of questions. I allow a lot of time before I...

Okay, so, I have 4 different tank options, and I'm thinking about an inverts only tank. Here are my four options: 2.5 gallons, 5 gallons, 10 gallons, 20 gallons What would you suggest putting in each one? What kind of filtration or special equipment would you suggest? Is it possible to...

Hi TRT and all you freshwater fanatics, I was hoping I could tap into your wisdom. I have a 20 gallon with a golden wonder killifish, a carnivorous kind. He had other tankmates, but he ate them or they deceased (I believe there is some kind of fungus in that tank because everything i put in...

Hello everyone, iv got a twenty gallon reef soft coral setup, I'm looking to upside it to 30 gallon, if I upsize it should I use the same sand, or am I better to not do the upsize? I started with a ten gallon and uped it to my twenty, any advice?

Hey everyone. I am still stuck on lighting for my 20g tall tank. I have a budget of $200 I am not sure if I should go with T5 or LED Do you think this would be a good LED? http://www.reefbreeders.com/value_led_fixtures.html I have heard good reviews about it. For T5 I was considering these...

Hey guys, I have a FO tank set up right now and want to make it into a reef. I think I need better lighting for it though, it came with Tetra LED hood lights. What would recommend getting? Make sure to add a link so I can look! Thanks in Advance. I can't post links to the lights yet.

Okay, so sorry in advance for the long post. I REALLY appreciate ANY feedback! I have been doing research for some time now, and I think I'm finally ready (I currently have a 46g Red Top Ndumbi cichlid tank, and have had many freshwater tanks in the past). This is a list of what I believe I...

Hi all, I am starting a 20 gallon (long) reef. I already have a aquaclear 110 leftover from one of my larger tanks, and I was wondering if this would be too big for my new 20 gallon reef? Thanks, Michael! If not I also have a Magnum 250 hang-on canister filter that I could use. Thanks for the...

Hi, I am new to this particular forum! I have had freshwater fish for years now. I have had huge cichlid tanks ect.. But I thought it would be time for a good change! I decided to start a small reef tank. I have my tank set up with water, live sand, and live rock as of today. So I will let it...
