I wanted to start this discussion now because I have some ideas that I would like to bounce off some folks before I start cutting lumber.
I have a 8x2x2 acrylic tank with dual overflows. I’m going to build the stand, which by itself isn’t very complicated. This is where it gets tricky.
I am...
Upgrading my 32 Biocube.

Hey all. I just got a 75 gallon and notice a strange line on the top left of it. It runs a little bit and is wavy, and kind of thins out to nothing. I can feel it with my fingers it feels like a smooth bump. I just don’t know if it’s a crack or silicone. I am halfway setting it up and noticed...
Hey all
So I have a 40B. I have an opportunity to upgrade to 75 or 125.
Problem is I don’t know which. I have one filters rated for 100, plus skimmer and Uv rated for 100 and 200.
My 40b is 3 years old, I know transferring to the 75 will be easier but that 125 is tempting. What do y’all think...
Hey everyone! I've had a few FW tanks before, but this one is my first SW one. I’m in Canada, and over the years I've fallen in love with Hawaii - it's always so hard to say goodbye after a trip! My last visit to Maui in March finally gave me the push to start a reef tank.
The tank was cycled...
I was wondering if i could get some input on a stand for my 75B? I'm trying not to break the bank on this new build.
I just went to Petco and picked up my new 75 Gallon Breeder (48.5"WX18.5"DX21.125"H). I am going to be drilling it out and putting an Eshopps Eclipse M Overflow with an Aqueon...
The dilemma between the two sizes would be that I have about 55” of room to place the aquarium. With the 100 being 47” this leaves about 8” of space total, likely 4” for each side. This would essentially leave the side doors unusable and removing the sump if needed would have to be done through...
