Has anyone used a tank controller for a freshwater tank? I've been thinking about using a Neptune Apex on my 150 when I set it up but it doesn't seem that controllers are as popular on the freshwater side of things as they are on the saltwater side. I guess I'm trying to figure out why they...

Hello all, I have posted this on other forums so if some of you have seen it elsewhere I apologize! I am trying to get a broad range of input. My wife and I have been doing planted freshwater for some time. We currently have a 75 gallon, 38 gallon bowfront, and a 20 gallon. We recently picked...

Hello all, I've also posted this on plantedtank but am looking for all the advice I can get. We picked up a 150 gallon aquarium that measures 48"wx24"dx30"h and need to light it as I don't think that the included 80 watt florescent fixture will be sufficient for plants in that deep of a tank...

Hello all, I installed an add-on DI cartridge to my RO system. I need it to be a dual use system so I teed off of the membrane output between the ASOV and the polishing carbon/re-mineralizer. I did not put a check valve before the polishing carbon as I did not have one and could not find on...

We went to the LFS to look at supplies for starting our new 150 gallon freshwater tank, or so I thought. The LFS is shutting down so we were hoping to get some deals and while we were there we started talking about converting our 75 gallon to a marine tank. The price for equipment was a bit...

Does anyone have any experience with the Aquatop Titanium heaters? We are thinking of getting two of them for a 150 gallon we are planning on setting up. The manufacturer says one is enough for a 150 but I like some redundancy with heaters. Just looking for any opinions or experiences with them...

Hello all, just sharing for the fun of it. If anyone has advice I'm always happy to listen but I'm not sure what I did wrong the first time to get the tank to complete its cycle. After having the issues getting our tank to cycle we have started over and went in a slightly different direction...

Hello everyone, We picked up a 38 gallon Marineland bow front tank kit from PetSmart on Black Friday. It came with LED lighting, a heater and a Penguin 200. We are running a community tank with 6 Danios, 2 Red Tale Sharks, 2 Cory Cats, 1 Plecostomus and 6 ghost shrimp. We do a weekly 25% water...
