So I am in the process of setting up a vivarium to keep poison dart frogs. I don't know why I do this to myself but so far it seems like it is going to be a really cool hobby to spend what is left of my money on. Here are a couple pictures of the viv so far, no frogs, still in the setup/growout...

I missed the deadline so I could not participate in this months contest so I thought I would post what would have been my entry just because I think it is a cool shoot. Not the best in quality, but the content is pretty cool...

Well, after several month's of posting here and reading and researching, it is time to start actually working on my own build. I have decided to go with a 10 gallon due to space constraints as well as budget limits. I have not done much so far other that build a hood and base. I have lights...

I am going to set up a 10g tank soon since I have to put my 29g project on hold and I am thinking of doing an invert/softie tank rather than having any fish. I was just wondering how much inverts add to the bio-load compared to fish? My invert list is not been made but will include a shrimp or...

I have two ARO AS-220 VHO ballasts laying around the house not getting used. They are rated to run two 55/65 watt CF bulbs each ballast. I originally bought them for a FW planted tank that never happened. So anyways, I have been planning to do a 29 gallon project and was going to ditch these...

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...

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...

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...

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...
