    I built the wrong kind of system

    Should all of us who haven't had tank crashes yet knock on wood?

    Some help with a new idea...

    Okay, so I have a plan but no real idea on how to push forward with it... I want to setup my RO/DI maker in the basement, directly under my tank. I want that to fill a 55 gallon barrel or something similar, and I kind of wanted it to fill based on a float valve in the barrel...(yeah yeah, the...

    I adopted a sick fish and need help getting him healthy

    Make sure you constantly test the water in the QT tank. All the medications and feeding can easily throw it off whack, and that doesn't help sick fish at all.

    how often do you clean detritus from your sump?

    My tank has been running for 4 years now and I have maybe cleaned it out once? To be fair, there isn't much of anything accumulated in there...too much water flow.

    Paludariums, anyone?

    So I don't know how much everyone knows about paludariums, but I can say I have wanted to set one up forever. Anyone on this board have one perhaps? I think I live planted Amazon swamp would look so cool :D

    New/Old member ready to get back in maybe

    I remember you selling off your last tank I believe. I was just getting into it then so yenno how it is. I don't think too much has changed O.o LED's are becoming more and more popular I suppose.

    Hello

    As everyone else will say, take it slow and make sure you keep good quality water; most important part. Get the appropriate test kits and just continually test! If you document it, you should be able to watch the tank cycle as well!

    Reef-keeping and SCUBA diving?

    So in my latest 6 month absent period from the forum, I have been getting into SCUBA diving. Have yet to dive in the sound, but I got certified in a lake over in Idaho :D Curious though, how many people on here do we have that keep these reef tanks and SCUBA as well?

    Green Mandarins

    I would just establish the copepod population in your tank and purchase a regular one if I were you. Its fairly easy to do as long as your water quality is good, and most fish will eat the copepods anyway so it would be beneficial for the entire tank. Just my 2 cents.

    SO decided to try out purchasing fish online for the first time. I purchased 5 fish...2 Lyretail Anthias, 2 Engineer Gobies, and one Foxface Rabbitfish. I setup a 10 gallon QT tank where I planned to QT them for a bit. I woke up on day 2, and found the foxface stuck to the filter. He wasn't...

    Alright, this is frustrating. Went and picked up some clowns at Barrier Reef Aquariums, and the damsel FINALLY, after a year of having him, posed an issue with the tank. He immediately started giving the clowns a hard time, so thus started the process of trying to get him out. Started with...
