Isn't it funny how that little bare piece of wall area exactly 38" wide just screams "30 gallon here!"

After this thread I am thinking about 30 gallon in my living room across from my 75. I was going to do a hexagon in my bedroom...but it will be seen more in the living room.

We did that too. the only filtration on the freshwater tanks was triangular sponge filters...I guess biological filtration if its not interrupted is a good system.

As for saving on electricity...many years ago when I worked in a fish room with about 150 tanks, we kept the room temp at 78 degrees and never had to use heaters in any tanks. I think that was a money saver there.

I also like having tanks in every room : ) But then I like having my dogs and cats in every room too. My parrot lives in the dining room and is sometimes out on my shoulder. If I had a dedicated fish room, I would enjoy it more if I had some comfortable sitting spots.....and snacks : ) And I...

Hello all. One month ago I set up my 75 with 120# of live sand and later added 80# of "Life Rock". Twenty years ago in my tanks I had live rock that was collected in FujI and other places. And I was happy to find something man made that was nice to look at...and useful for a place to grow...

Are there any concerns with buying live rock from an unknown source like craigslist? How about if you are just setting up a tank and you have no fish or other life in the tank?

Dch48, people will buy stupid stuff...I worked in a pet store and once sold a Nile Monitor. I knew the woman who bought it (it was actually a gift for her) and when I last saw it, the monitor was well over four feet long and probably very nasty! I can't remember the most I've paid for a fish...

Beautiful!

Hello, I read another post requesting opinions on the future additions to a tank. So may I also get your opinions? This will not be my first salt water aquarium but it has been many years since I was in the hobby and a lot has sure changed over the years! I appreciate all of your help. So far I...

That's very pretty! I am not planning on having any anemones in this tank since I have a Seachem Tidal 110 filter with a built in skimmer. (I can't figure how to make the skimmer safe for a travelling anemone. The intake tube I could enclose in filter sponge. ) And I won't have any corals so I...

Thank you.

I guess my soon to be FOWLR doesn't need a lot of special lighting. Maybe some full spectrum light added. I am just setting up a 75 gallon and it came with a basic LED strip light that has two rows of white lights and one row of blue lights. To start with would I be better off using the white...

Its hard to know being a farm pond. My bet is on agricultural run off (since I am surrounded on all sides by big farms) adding excess nutrients to the water combined with heavy rains and lots of sun. It seems to be going through cycles, scummy looking, partially clear, more clear then back to...

I'm only starting up a 75 this time around so I have no fish yet. but I have lost count of how many birds I have : ) Chickens, ducks, geese, guineas and pea fowl...and one little parrot.

Is it usual to have nitrites in your tap water? Did you have previous good luck with fish with that same tap water? I had an experience where I was doing frequent partial water changes to help my fish overcome a problem, but they just got worse. My tap water was polluted. Let us know how things...

Jesterrace, what kind of anemone is that?

Lovely!

Oh my! That is just beautiful!

So last night I put the 120# of live sand in my new 75 gallon. Its looking good slowly clearing up the cloudiness and the filter is working great. I originally thought I would use live sand and crushed coral so I had also ordered 80# of coral. The 120# looks like plenty already. So obviously...
