So I’ve been researching Reef Aquariums for a couple of months now, and my wife and I are looking to buy a house soon, so we were looking at houses and we saw a good one for a reasonable price that has a built in 2000 gallon aquarium. After a bit more looking at houses and comparing and stuff...

Hi all, I have an under stocked 220 gallon. Originally the plan was for a FOWLR tank, then I started liking the inverts, then I started looking at corals... lol. So the tank has been running for a couple years with live rock and about a dozen or so fish plus some snails/hermits/shrimp +/- a...

Hi! I have had a lot of experience in freshwater but I have always loved saltwater. I was thinking about eventually converting one of my 20g tanks into a saltwater environment (nothing fancy, just a couple small fish and live rock). Nothing bigger- my other tanks are happily occupied and I...

I knew that title would get everyone's attention! So here's my tank: 40 breeder with 20 sump, so a 60 system. Rock-work is not very "dense", and allows for a lot of swimming room. Could I, get a Yellow Tang (when the time is right) as a juvenile, then trade/sell/give him away once I feel that he...

Hi all, Ive read a variety of reviews. Anyone with experience with multiple basslets? I have a 220G that I am slowly stocking. I like the royal gramma and the chalk basslet.

Hello everyone! I am still pretty new to this hobby, but am starting to get more and more comfortable with the care of corals (although I had a scare with a pooping torch coral). I have started becoming more and more interested in goniopora along the line as well. They are rather infamous...
