    Upgrade necessities

    Hi everyone, I'm upgrading to a reef ready 75 gallon tank, it's the standard Aqueon tank with overflow box. I have to build a stand before it's ready go get started, but I want to know what sort of equipment I'm going to need. The skimmer I have will work, it's a Curve 5. I've got a 200 Watt...

    Nano to 75 gallon

    There's nothing quite like sticking your head in a tank full of fresh silicone. Not much to see here in the picture, I went with black silicone, taped the sides but left the bottom. It's not the prettiest thing ever but the dies are good, and I don't like the look of bare bottom so it'll always...

    Nano to 75 gallon

    Thanks everyone! I’m really excited to have the room for some different fish and with any luck an anemone. Everyone on here is always so willing to help it’s great, I’ll be posting some questions I have about equipment later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nano to 75 gallon

    Thanks! I’m planning to seal it let it dry, and just keep it filled with water in the garage while I do the stand. Maybe have the plumbing just into a bucket to have that being tested too. Anything specific I should be looking for when I test it, I mean other than leaks that you can visually...

    Nano to 75 gallon

    Back in May I started a 29 gallon tank. Well I started a 10 gallon, then a 29 gallon. And I thought I was good with that, I got the fish who are in QT, tank all cycled, a lovely CUC, some corals and it was all great. Only my plumbing has been one gurgle after the next, my light which isn’t even...

    Where to buy big tanks?

    That’s good to know, I’ll have to factor that in to any decisions about upgrading. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Where to buy big tanks?

    I believe I've seen that 40 and 55 are 50% off instead of 1$/gallon. Does anybody know if that same 50% off applies to any larger tanks as well?

    Where to buy big tanks?

    Hi everyone, I'm playing around with the idea of a bigger tank, like a 4-6 foot long one, preferably 6 because I would ideally like a yellow tang. So I'm trying to look around online, but I can't seem to find where on earth they're sold? Petco doesn't seem to have anything on their website...

    75g bow front

    @Jeremy Brito I think I found a few things on your tank and how it gave out. That really sucks, I'm glad you've got a new setup going on now, I saw some pics and it looks pretty cool. I might be willing to give it a try, see if I could fiberglass something and fill it with water in the garage...

    75g bow front

    Hi forgive me if this is a rather obvious question, but what would prevent it from being able to be used with the problems with the frame? Is it structural, will it leak? I'm new and it seems like it would just be an aesthetics issue. I'm looking to get a bigger tank than the 29 I have, so if a...

    Used Equipment Values and Equipment ID

    Yeah it pulls a lot of stuff out now and all I have is come corals and a CUC, I also kinda overfeed because I have some filter feeders in there, a big seafood counter clam and I don't want that little fella to die. I'll have to keep the petco sale in mind. My light is maxed out for the spread on...

    Used Equipment Values and Equipment ID

    Lovely :smilet_digitalpoint: I'll just have to see what I can manage then. Luckily that wasn't a light I planned to use (at least not on it's own, had hoped it might be supplemental to my black box 165 watt). I've got a lovely new pump doorstop so it seems, maybe I'll chuck the UV sterilizer in...

    Used Equipment Values and Equipment ID

    I understand that, I was really in it for the tank and stand, and I figured that the light it came with would be enough to supplement my existing light however the sizes were all messed up unfortunately. The person I got it from also said in writing that it all worked, so I’m going to go through...

    Used Equipment Values and Equipment ID

    That is a really nice looking setup, but if I’m going to be needing to spend more money on things like fixing my lighting setup I’d rather be way in the clear rather than barely getting away with something. If it was closer I might try but I’ve been seeing numbers of 4-6 feet for a yellow tang...

    Used Equipment Values and Equipment ID

    Absolutely, I'm sorry I wasn't trying to argue with you as I said, it was just shocking to me that it seemed to be the rate since there's tons of tanks online on the second hand market that aren't even close to that so it was rather disheartening to hear. Maybe I should be checking out more...

    Used Equipment Values and Equipment ID

    This is in no way directed at you, I promise that if it comes off that way at all it's just because I'm really really bad at hearing my own tone in things and I'm sorry if it does, I'm just baffled since 50 cents per gallon seems really really low to me. Maybe on nano tanks it might sound more...

    Used Equipment Values and Equipment ID

    The things are down in the garage and outside so I'll get pictures tomorrow, I just took pics of the different labels on things for my research. The UV light has a power light but it also doesn't light up. The pump didn't even make a sound when I pluged it in.

    Used Equipment Values and Equipment ID

    Hi everyone, So I made a very bad impulse buy tonight getting a used 54 gallon corner setup. The pictures looked good and I measured it all out to go in a specific spot in the room. Measurements all checked out. When I got there the tank just seemed so so much smaller than I had imagined it. It...
