filtration

Warning- this is a long read! Soooooo, I really wanted to start a saltwater tank and do it the right way. I researched, watched a few dozen videos, researched some more, saved a few dollars, watched more videos on how to get started and then made the mistake of going into a business and letting...

I originally bought a 75-gallon reef tank off Facebook Marketplace, and I have resealed it (still waiting to leak test), but I want to be prepared for the future. My LFS can drill the tank, but they charge 75$ for the hole and 45$ for each additional hole. I had thought about getting a Diamond...

I just got my 15 gallon nano and now and I'm mentally figuring out the water situation. I am going to likely set up the RO/DI filters directly under the sink, and add a water storage container to the right of the sink, as you can see in the picture. The space is 25" wide x 22.5" deep x 20"...

Hello everyone, I'm back, and this time I'd like to ask if it's possible, to set up a 50 gallon reef tank, for a pair clownfish, 2/3 gobys, blenny and, maybe a royal gramma, softies, maybe some easier lps, like duncans and candy canes, and maybe a BTA? I'd use Fluval AC 110 and Sicce shark...

First, a peak at the result. After about 30 hours over 2.5 days, that is the finished product. Now the process. I have a 350 gal, two tank, shared sump system in the living room next door. But there isn't enough room in the cabinet or the living room for all the equipment, let alone a...

Are there any public aquarium keepers out there, that can point me in the right direction for implementing a new RODI system? I go through about 5K gallons a week and it seem that a home RODI unit is cost and labor prohibitive. I have a water softening (cation,) followed by carbon and a large...

Hey everyone, I was up late the other night doing what I’d consider a pretty major overhaul on my Fluval Sea Evo 13.5G tank—the first real one in two years. I’ve been in the hobby for about two and a half years now and decided it was finally time to swap out the substrate. I went from...

So I’m starting up a new budget build 75 gallon tank utilizing hob equipment. I already had a hob setup that was great for 7-8 years then all of a sudden aiptasia took over and that tank has never been the same, so I’m doing a restart with all new sand and Aussie live rock and ditching the...

I have a Fluval flex 32.5 gallon with maybe 30 pounds of rock, 8 fish, a BTA, some sps but mostly soft corals. I have a bubble Magnus mini Q laying around and I was wondering if it would be possible to run it on this tank? The mini Q is rated for 20 gallons, I feed once a day, either flakes or...

Soooo.... I have a 20L Fusion NUVO and it's just way too crowded for my liking. I am actually planning on moving in the next year from Oregon to California so i do have to take this into consideration since my wife won't be thrilled having to move an enormous tank. So i think my plan is to have...
