tank advice

I want to use the same rock that I have in my current tank into my new tank. I have some algae on the rock at the moment, would it be ok to do some sort of dip to get the algae off the rock when placing it into the new tank? I don’t want any of that algae going into the new tank. What should I do?

Hello everyone, I just recently started my 55 saltwater up after having two failed attempts of getting it going. Both times I ended up doing something wrong that causes the tank to go wrong and fail. But, I’m determined to make it work. I recently started it back up, I cleaned out my filter...

Need some help deciding between Waterbox, RedSea & Cade. I am looking for a 4 ft. Tank for a reef setup. I am coming from a RedSea Reefer 250 but I sold literally everything off before we moved so I am starting 100% empty handed. I always felt like the 3ft of the Reefer was limiting as far...

Hi, I Currently Have a 15G Tank with a pair of clowns. I have a spare 10-gallon tank that I was planning on turning into a sump but I'm not sure if it will be suitable for 2 pairs of clowns. Would this be more successful and easier to maintain than turning the 10-gallon into a new tank and...

Hey, everyone. I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I've had a 25g Waterbox peninsula for over a year now (will be 2 years in May 2023). I am looking to upgrade to a redsea reefer; however, it wouldn't be anything too large due to cost and space. I was looking at the Redsea reefer 200 and 250...
