Ok, so I am a procrastinator. I have my filter floss, I have a piece of black plastic to cover the vents. I have read that people have used super glue gel to adhere rocks together, and am planning on using it to cover the vents with my black plastic. Have you herd of this being problematic...

Awesome, thanks. I will be making some changes this weekend.

I guess what I am not getting is. . . If I take out the sponge and the rings, I'm left with: Chamber 1 = Empty Chamber 2 = Bag of Carbon Chamber 3 = Pump & Heater Where does all the gunk that I normally clean out of the sponge go? Do I replace these things with something better...

I'd like to add a skimmer to my 12g AquaPod. All of the chambers in the back of the tank are stock (sponge, carbon, rings, pump) except for the heater in the third. Is there one that is recommended or is this better done through modding something I currently have. To that effect, are there...

Does this look like there may be too much water movement? The powerhead is adjustable.

Another option (although it's generally panned) is researching Biospira, not the conventional or patient way to do it, but there have been some nice success stories

Is/was this rock cured properly? The thing in four could be something yet to fall off. . .

It's a little under a year, but was pretty neglected until recently. I bought the tank based on the box (just add fish), but as I have learned more I have developed a respect for the skill this takes to do properly. I'm making up for lost time while tying to be as responsible as possible.

Tank Oldie but a goodie A newer addition. and my brand new friends glowing Thanks for taking a look.

I did a real good job overthinking this one. With the powerhead on the left blowing to the right and pulling from the front I completely bypassed any of my tank's filtration. As it turns out the powerhead was just fine stuck to the back of the tank being supported by a rock. (on the right)

Here's the picture, you can see the powerhead on the left.

Thanks SWNewb, Taking a look at your thread really gave me a good base for understanding how your fuge was set up. It looks like your canopy top is open around the actual light housing, does this negate the need for fans? The pictures of your corals are great too, what camera/ macro lens...

Weld-on #16 on a piece of black plastic from the back of an old CD case. Cut the plastic a little large (so there is no oozing) and use the sponge that came with the tank to keep it held into place.

So would the AC50 remain stock or would I remove the filter insert and replace it with a sponge and rubble? Also to increase the lighting, is there a new bulb that can be used or do you think that I would need to mod the housing itself? Sorry to be a pain, I just want to know how deep I'm...

I have a 5gal bowfront freshwater tank on my desk at work. My fish are getting to be all grown up and my plants are going nuts. They will all be upgraded to a 10gal hex. With my vacant tank I would like to start another SW Nano. I currently have a 12 gal Aquapod at home. All of the guts were...

I turned the thing on its side. It now blows to the right and takes water in from the front. The weight dispersement is such that the top cup no longer comes loose. I should have just bought a koralina nano. In case you ever need to do the same thing some other suggestions have been: 1...

I have put an Aqua-Clear 10 into my 12 Gal Aquapod. It is submersed about 2.5 inches down on the right side (on the glass) it is held on with the three suction cups that it came with, but keeps falling. I thought that the cups may have been hitting the curve of the corener, so I made sure...

Thanks for the definitions. I never knew that lighting could be so involved. I have much to learn, thankfully this seems an excellent place to do just that! —RJ
