    New 40 Breeder setup

    So how much actual live rock do I need to provide the filtration? When you say Base rock, is that dry rock?

    New 40 Breeder setup

    I'm taking my old freshwater 40 breeder and making it into a FOWLR tank. I've got a eheim pro II canister filter currently with bio media rated for 97 gallons, but I'm thinking about just putting live rock into the filter, and the tank to provide filtration. A couple of questions: 1) Should I...

    Hello!

    Thanks, I know a few guys who are big drilled or internal overflow guys so I'm seeking out other opinions. I think that drilled not only looks cleaner, but is much easier to DIY on an acrylic tank.

    Addind an overflow to a tank

    I'm looking to buy a very nice 48x18 deepx24 tall acrylic tank, however it does not have an internal overflow. I've found some online but they are like 8" deep. Where can go to find a full height unit or am I stuck making it myself?

    Hello!

    Joined the community as I'm beginning to look at a FOWLR conversion of my existing freshwater tank. Trying to discuss with the fiance as she's fond of our existing freshwater fish and I think the compromise might be a bio cube...
