filtration

I recently picked up a 125 gallon fish tank from aqueon that is not drilled. All of my tanks are not drilled, not that I don't like drilled, its just they seem to be a bit more money. Now all of my current tanks rely heavily on HOB protein skimmers, uv sterilizers, and canister filters. I have...

Trying to understand and figure out when the right time for me to begin running my skimmer and UV is on my new tank build. 310 gallon display tank, been up and running since September 2nd of this year. Just added my first group of 5 captive-bred fish to the tank over the last couple days. I have...

Hello, I am considering using refugium or algae scrubber as the main source of filtration (previously I was more into carbon dosing, which I am doing currently). That would mean buying a smaller skimmer for my new tank and/or letting it run only for some hours every day. I wonder - what are...

Hello, I am looking to get a juvenile coral cat shark for my 75 gallon saltwater aquarium then move him to my 240 gallon. I have very little experience with sharks especially in smaller tanks. The 75 gallon where he will only be for a short amount of time has 15 lbs of live rock so he has room...

Hi all, I currently have a canister filter under my 46 gallons bowfront reef tank. I hate it. While it gets the job done I was always thinking of one day replacing it with a sump. Now I see there is this Sicce Shark Pro submersible filter that looks really cool. Should I go with that or would I...

If I got an innovative marine 20g peninsula AIO, is there a wrong way to set up the filtration? I was thinking put a UV sterilizer in the first compartment, protein skimmer in the second, and heater with return pump in the third and final. The main issue I see is the lack of biological in the...

Used Vertex Omega 150 in great shape and works very well, currently still running on my tank. I recently upgraded to a larger tank and needed something a bit larger, new skimmer will be installed in a few days. I'll give it a good scrub down once the new skimmer is installed. This skimmer is...

I am currently planning out a 20g long lps reef tank to replace my 10g. I want to take it a step up and get better equipment. First off, I don't know whether a pair of Kessil a80's or an AI prime hd would be a better fit. I haven't been able to find any other lights in that price range that...

Not sure if anyone else is still waiting on this item. Ordered mid to late March. Has anyone received one of these from Saltwateraquarium, if so please share and if not, please share too!

Hey all, I have been struggling with nutrient export as of late (along with an outbreak of GHA) and have been working to reduce nitrates and phosphate through all of the traditional routes (water changes, reduction of feeding amount/time, consistent cleaning of filter and protein skimmer, etc.)...

Hey guys.. so I have an IceCap 48xl sump for my 310 gallon display tank that I’m considering to modify to enlarge the return pump section of it. The sump comes with a 15 gallon ATO reservoir but I’m using my 130g total volume saltwater mixing station also for auto-top offs since it’s in the same...

Hi everyone, so I've set up a little betta tank as an amphipod culture tank but the powerhead that the internal filter comes with is obviously designed for freshwater; I was wondering, is it really such an issue to use a pump that likely has a stainless steel shaft for marine purposes? The pumps...

I attached a rough image of what I intend my new frag tank setup with a ZooMed Low Boy to look like (I'm not the guy he's just a reference for height) what are some pieces of equipment you all suggest? I already have a sump for the system and an array of lights including 2 LEDs, a T5 fixture and...

Hey guys! It's me :D If you have to attend to other fish hobbyists that are having emergencies or something, go ahead xD But what I want to talk about is how much do I change water. I have a kind of small tank, and I want my fish to have the best way of life possible, so I started feeding them a...

I’ve always wondered why every time I clean my aquarium, when I pour the new water after siphoning, my fish always swim towards it? Maybe it has something to do with oxygenation? My filter is pretty big for the tank size but I find it weird that even though fish are scared by strong currents of...

Hi all, I have a biocube 32 with the coralife protein skimmer. I recently upgraded the media basket to the intank one that fits biocube 32s. I was curious to if anyone else has done this and what they've done to fit the coralife protein skimmer and the intank media basket so that both work...

Hey. I’m looking to buy a media reactor probably to run carbon or gfo. I’m leaning towards the Nyos torq gen2 but the reviews aren’t that great. what are the top of the line reactors and easy to replace media?

Has anyone use k1 media? In there sump?

Hello all, I hardly ever post here and I’m gonna tell a little about my situation first: TLDR at bottom I’ve had a Biocube 32 for 6 years, it still runs okay and my clownfish and clowngoby have been completely healthy, but the corals have all died off except some soft cabbage and I can’t seem...

I will be setting up a new 300L tank soon but I don’t have a sump with it, what good options do I have for filtration preferably that wont crowd the tank with equipment?
