    Filter / waterflow question

    You like that aye? :lol: Yeah, the more I research the closer I get to what I am going to to, however before that happens I rush and ask questions like this :neutral: I have decided to go with the 20L and I am going with the AC 110 for a fuge and now I am debating on doing a CL system...

    Closed loop....thoughts?

    I am still in the design and research phase of my up coming nano tank and I am interested in possibly doing a CL system for better flow and to also keep as much stuff out of the tank. I have included a pretty elementary paint shop drawing to be critiqued to make sure that I have it right and to...

    Filter / waterflow question

    I am not sure what size tank I am going to setup, either a 10 or 20 gallon, still to be decided. My question is, I am planning on starting out with a HOB filter and I am wondering if this will provide enough waterflow. I know that the turnover rate will be way more than enough but will the water...

    store bought water

    This is old but nobody answered so I am going to bring it back from the dead. I am thinking about either a 10 or 20 gallon setup and even though my own filter system might be cheaper in the long run I just don't feel like maintaining it and the initial costs and blah blah blah. I have not...

    Your algae is awesome. Your whole tank is but I love the algae. Great color.

    Square or long?

    I think 55's should be taken off the market. I hate them. Way too narrow. I personally love my 75. It is a perfect mix. If anything I wouldn't mind seeing another 4-6" added to the depth (not height). Still lots to consider but I have nothing but time. And thanks for the welcome. Seems like a...

    Square or long?

    Yeah, I still need to decide if I can be dedicated to strict weekly or even more than one per week water changes. But I think that if that is something I can commit to and with a good biofiltration system (quality sand and extra LR) along with effective cleaners that it is very doable. I think...

    Square or long?

    I thought the dimensions were off. That is what they listed the 20 sq.on glasscages.com. I'll have to find out whether the measurements are wrong or the capacity listed is wrong, but either way I think you are correct that the 40 sq. would be a better tank. I guess it would be borderline nano...

    Square or long?

    I was looking at tanks and was wondering if one had an advantage over the other. I was considering either a 20 long (30x12.5x13) or a 20 square (24x24x13). I like the idea of more front to back space and I don't think that the extra depth will affect my lighting plans. Any thoughts? There is...

    A must-see tank...

    Insane. And here I am worried about where I am going to scrape up the cash to set up a 20 gallon nano tank. Sheesh.

    Dead Live Rock...bringing it back

    Thanks for the advice. I was going to boil just to be safe but I figure the soak will be long enough at this point. I won't be setting this up for some time but will probably do something similar to what I described above so the rock will be alive as soon as it hits the tank. Of course there...

    Dead Live Rock...bringing it back

    I was thinking and thought I would throw this idea out there to see if this would be an acceptable way to get my rock back to life. I would boil the rock and rinse it super good to make sure that it is clean clean clean. Then I would add live sand to the tote and place the rock in the tote with...

    Looking for a good online source for Premium Live Rock

    I have ordered from Premium Aquatics two times and both times the rock that was sent to me was gorgeous and very well packed in heavy styrofoam boxes. Prices are as good as anyone else and if you special request a shape or size of a rock or two they are very good about trying to fill that...

    Dead Live Rock...bringing it back

    I have about 75 pounds of LR that I had in my 65 gallon SW tank several years ago but after the tank failed the rock was dried out and is now stored in a Rubbermaid Tote. I am thinking about giving a SW tank another try in the form of a nano tank and would like to re-use the old LR. How should I...
