    Hello, I'm going to be getting my first ever saltwater tank in the next few months and I'm VERY excited! I have kept all types of animals and I have kept multiple difficult freshwater species but I have never kept saltwater fish. My main reason to even get a saltwater tank is corals, I really...

    Downsizing from my 55 Gallon Marine Marine Land Aquarium due to a move. If another New York reefer wants to take it off my hands, wouldn't mind. The black rim on the top of the tank has some damage. It is standard 48"x13"+-x20"+-. Standard Petco stand is also available. I'll give it a good...

    Hi I recently started a 55 gallon tank and want to try soft corals. I recently came across 2 36" HO dual t5's. In each fixture is a 39w 10000 daylight and a 39w actinic. I was wondering if these will work for soft corals. If it will do I need both of the fixtures and do I run both lights...

    Hey guys - seems like more people check out this part of the forum than the Tank Specs part so I'll post my questions here and link to my tank spec thread so you can see my set up. My fishless cycle with dead shrimp has been going for 9 days now, and my test results are throwing me off and...

    I have always enjoyed having fresh-water fish tanks in the past, and I have always wanted to tryout a saltwater tank. Unfortunately, I have never felt like it was a terrific time to start a saltwater tank due to financial commitment, time-commitments, etc. But I think the time is now. My wife...

    This is a partial repost from my intro thread, but since I plan on having plenty of questions, I thought I should probably have my tank listed here. I currently have a 55 gallon tank (48"x12"x20") started in 2013 with a 1-2" live sand bed, 60-70 pounds of live rock, AI SOL Superblues x2, a...

    I have a 220 gallon that I am thinking of downsizing, I was thinking of using my 55 gallon. If I put some of my "big fish" in the 55 but use the equipment from the 220 would that be okay. I was thinking my 3 foot zebra eel and my 8 inch lionfish. Neither of these animals need open water to swim...

    Hey guys I am wanting to sell my actinic light. It is only a few months old and in great shape. It is just too much light and I have no need for it. I would like to get 250$ for it, a timer and the hanging kit. I will consider offers, really interested in the new maxspect gyre. Thank you

    Hey guys! I broke out my old quad T5 fixture that was in the attic. I wanted to add it to my Current USA Orbit Marine LED. So I could add a little kick to the LEDs, for some extra PAR. The Orbit Marine fits perfectly in the middle of my old T5 fixture. I have room for two T5 bulbs(one on each...

    I have a 55 gallon tank currently cycling for the past 3 weeks. I've been looking for more live rock to fill it and in the process I ended up with a compete 90 gallon setup along with a 40 gallon that was used as a refugium for the cost of the rock! Incredible deal! But now I'm torn.... And I'll...

    Ok, so after my tank was wiped out by marine velvet I am much more careful and prepared this time around. While I cant get more fish for quite a while, I've come up with a new stocking list that I would like some opinions on. I have a 55 gallon tank. Also, I'm not sure how many corals I can...
