So it's getting to be that time where my cycle is essentially complete, and I'm making final decisions on what I'm putting in my CUC, and my first fish. Since it's only a 20g, I'm sump-less, and I'm starting to get some of that oily looking stuff on the top of my tank. After doing some...

Stocking wise, I'm going FOWLR and not sure which of these I could get into a 20G, these are the fish I like: Ocellaris/Tangerine clown (seems mandatory) Firefish Royal Gramma Neon Goby Mandarin Dragonet*. * - I know, a Mandarin won't do well for food in a tank this small. I have an old 10G...

Hello! I'm new to saltwater (in fact I don't have a saltwater tank yet) but I've run freshwater tanks for years. I currently have a 55 gallon long (48x13x18?) and a 20 gallon tall (13x13x18?) but I'm looking to get into saltwater. I have room for one more aquarium, but it would have to be small...

Hi All, So the other day, saw a 20 long on sale at Petco for $20, so decided I should upgrade hah. This will be my 2nd saltwater tank and I plan on it being mainly LPS and SPS tank. My previous tank was a 10g nano, with the main objective of it to be learning a lot about the hobby, nano's, and...

So i'm looking to upgrade my current lighting to allow me to grow some of the more light demanding coral (species of acro and monty really). Currently i have two 24w t5s lighting my 20g which is 12" or 16" can't quite remember. I've had the tank about 8 months so i think its about time i look...

Last night I drip acclimated my two new tank raised false percula clowns and this morning I tried feeding them flake food ( Omega One Marine Flakes with garlic.) they acted super interested but the problem is the flake food stays on the top of the tank. it doesn't ever go down. Do I not have...

I'm back. a long while ago I tore down my tank and packed it away because I thought I was going across the country for college. But I got an offer here I couldn't refuse so I stayed. Two weeks ago I put up a 20g tank to get back to it. Here is my setup. 20g long tank 10 pounds dry fiji rock...

So a few months ago, I packed up my saltwater tank in my closet and called it quits. I was afraid I was going across the country for college but I got accepted into the college here. So I have free time and money.... I am going to college for environmental sciences and I need something to keep...

Hey there folks! I have a 20 gallon FOWLR and was looking to upgrade to a nano reef so that I can admire its beauty while I finish my undergrad. I just want to start out with some softies until I get my feet wet. Maybe some zoanthids and mushrooms to start. Eventually some hard corals. However...

Hey everyone, So unfortunately I had a death today in my freshwater tank :( My Dwarf Gourami wasnt looking so hot yesterday (being very apathetic and also looked as though he had lost some weight) so I did a water change and continued everything else as normal and when I woke up today he was...

I'm looking for two 20 tall tanks to convert into sumps. It's ok if they are scratched...as long as they hold water I'm interested. PM me if you have one or both available!

Was watching TV last week and realized that I really wanted a reef tank of my own. My dad's had one for years, and I've always admired it and I figure its high time I start one up. Needless to say I've been reading reef literature almost literally non-stop for the past 6 days... I think it's...

I've been wanting a moray eel for about 5 years now, but have always been either too young or too poor to have now. Then a couple days ago I saw this add on craigslist: honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/for/3841983819.html (sorry, I'm under 5 posts and can't post links. I promise it's not spam...

I am relatively new to fish keeping, I have a few tanks dry awaiting set up and currently have a double 20g tank stand with a FW community tank up top and a FOWLR tank on bottom. I realize 20s are pretty small, but these are what fit in the room I have them in, and I am of a mind these are a...
