Hello everyone! About a year ago I won a couple LED strips in a raffle at a local pet shop. They've been sitting in my basement ever since, collecting dust, but I recently acquired a 20 long and 10 gallon sump I was considering rigging up. Unfortunately I have never used LEDs and don't know if...

I'm in the planning stage of a small reef system (20L) .... I keep reading how shrimp and crabs can often irritate various corals/zoos by stealing food ... or looking for that last bit of algae near them ..... when I was doing reefs back in the early 90s .... "turbos" were the craze and...

New to "Reef" tanks. I have a 150 pred tank and have decided to start a "Nano" reef. I have a spare 20 long that I would like to use since it will give me some room for some nice aquascaping. Will i run into problems finding lighting and ect? that won't break the bank. Or will it be cheaper...

I have a 20 long, and would like to keep a flame angel, I hear that they say minimum of 30 gallons, and was wondering if I would be able to? It would be the only fish in the tank, and all my parameters are super! does anyone have experiences with them nipping corals?

Hey guys I'm working on my first Nano build. I'm going down from a 75 and I think im pretty set on either a Aqueon standard 29 (30x12x18) or a 20 long (30x12x12). Lighting is most likely going to be 3 nano-customs (evilc66) Par38 20K LEDs with the 60 degree optics. Which of the two tanks do...
