Anyone have one? Do they like it? I'm doing my 20L build and bc it's sitting on an antique dresser, I can't overflow and drill. So, I'm wondering if anyone has one. Also, do they use the protein skimmer you can buy with it? Or should I go with the Tunze Nano? I've been skimmerless in the...

I'm upgrading from a 10 gal. with 13lbs. of LR to a 20L. I have a bunch of lace rock laying around from my cichlid tank that isn't being used bc I use it to add to the tank when I remove existing rock to bleach it annually. Could I use a few lbs. of the lace rock in the tank as base rock and...

Ok, so the debate should be kept respectful. Present an argument for or against... but realize that not everyone agrees with you... and results may vary. In general, I ignore the bashing against tap water folks like me. Frankly, I like coastal living bc I get RO desalinated water from the...

gonna be a 20L. The corals are zoas, mushrooms, GSP, Yellow Colony Polyp, a hammer, and a chili. Currently I have a Coralife Quatt 96W on my 10gal. but the bulbs lose spectrum after like 6 months, so I want something else. I've been looking at going to T-5 HO's 4-24W setups with half 10K...

Well ya'll, for Xmas, I finally gotta camera. Yippee!!! With Macro... even better. My tank is a standard 10 gal. AGA. Aqua-tech 30-60 HOB modded to a sump/ fuge. Currently, my Sanders Piccollo skimmer is removed bc I need to replace the airstone. I am adding a Koralia Nano this weekend...

So, there are always these posts about people with algae issues. We all know about the basic "algae cycle" of a new tank. I'm wondering, does anyone else notice a "pattern" for a new tank? A pattern that even with the utmost care can only be minimally controlled until it has run its course...

So, I'm upgrading... to a 10 gal. standard tank. Here's the lights I'm looking at: http://206.188.205.168/index.asp?PageAc ... rodID=1323 or http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/P ... 004+113345 in the 20 ". Is the quad bulb on the coralife a pain... I mean if it goes out for any...

So, my boyfriend's 2 year old FW betta finally died from a tumor she had overtake her swim bladder after 4 months. So, he looks at my 5 gal. hex on the nightstand and says, I want that on my desk. Said if he got another betta it would just remind him of his friend that he lost. Well, my 5...

So, here are some long awaited pics of my hex-5. They are taken with a cruddy cameraphone, but suck it up, it's the best I can do. Here's the tank with coral (4/07) Here's the tank before coral (12/07) Here's 2 pics of Sam I am, my YWG: So, I know the pics aren't great, but...

Here's the blueprint. What do you think?

So, I posted in DIY and not lighting bc they don't make kits for a hex-5. I currently have a compact fluorescent 10 watt 5.5 inch (not 50/50) in the tank. If the 50/50 is all I can do, then I will, but I was looking for other options first. Here's the problem with the hex-5 though. How...

Could this be eggs? To what? I just found a tiny white starfish, I already have two BABY clownfish, 2 blue footed crabs, 2 nassarius snails, and 2 of another kind of snail... I just placed this flowy coral type stuff in, don't know name, 3 sets of zoo frags, and 2 mushrooms (1 of which has...
