    75 up and running

    I'm thinking about getting a Reef Octopus BH100T because it's a hang on back skimmer and it has an ATO reservoir

    75 up and running

    Picked up a 75 gallon on craigslist with a veneer finished plywood stand. Cleaned out the tank, painted the back black with spray paint, and set it up 75 gallon all glass aquarium black background Eheim Pro II canister with surface skimmer intake Fluval 305 canister with surface skimmer intake...

    In tank vs. HOB skimmer

    My canister filters have surface skimming so I'll just something to the back of my tank. I guess I'm most concerned about having a box of water hanging outside my tank. I dont want to come home with half my tank on the floor one day.

    I've already spent 2 months researching, I'm asking here because I wanted to hear reviews from people who have used them.

    In tank vs. HOB skimmer

    I have a FOWLR 75 gallon tank that I'm looking to add a protein skimmer to. There is no sump, and no room to add one so that's not an option. I'm concerned about having a HOB sitting outside my tank and dumping water everywhere. I'm looking at a Reef Octopus BH1000, or BH100t (auto top off...

    Refractometer, salt brand?

    I was hoping to get some guidance on refractometers, there's a huge variety out there, with many people recommending some random ebay one. I'd rather invest in a better quality unit, assuming it makes a difference.

    Refractometer, salt brand?

    I'm spinning up my tank this weekend, I'm looking to buy a refractometer and my first batch of salt (I'll be buying RO water, but I don't have enough containers to do 50+ gallons of water to start, so I'm making my own). It's a FOWLR tank (at least it will be), I know many people use salinity...

    DIY Cube aquarium stand

    I'm building a custom stand for my new cube aquarium. I used Pine stair tread for the top deck, which is glued into place. The stair tread is nicely finished out of the box, and comes with bull nose. Not to mention that it's made to hold heavy weights. We cut the Rabbits into the 2x4 frame...

    Custom Strip LED lights

    If I choose to get them I for sure will write up something with pictures, apparently the string is 16.4 feet long and you can cut it every three LED lights. I'm also considering the LED bulbs for the T5 fixtures.

    New 40 Breeder setup

    I'm not saying that it won't take any work, I'm not interested in doing the extra work required to keep corals. no need for the jackass response.

    New 40 Breeder setup

    I have been told by many people the canister is perfectly fine for FO or FOWLR. Especially if I retain my current bi-weekly canister clean out.

    New 40 Breeder setup

    I want to drill the 40 because it's clean, but I guess I can't do anything until I see that sump tomorrow. My plan is to gut/clean the 30 gallon, and assuming the sump/fuge will work for the 40, stick the canister on the 30 and get it up and running and put all the freshwater fish in it. Then...

    New 40 Breeder setup

    I'm picking up a sump/fuge setup with a skimmer (I'll have to wait till tomorrow to see what the skimmer is, but it came from the guy who runs the fish department at dennys pet world). I'm looking to get an Apex, I'm looking for temp probe, salinity, and ph for now. I currently have an eheim...

    I'm not trying to dose, I'm trying to plan out my budget, and I need to know if I need to worry about setting aside for money for it.

    Custom Strip LED lights
