Currently updated to 1/10/2019. Happy New Year!! To start off with, my wife is a huge lionfish lover and I'd been trying to convince her to use my Elos120XL as a lionfish species tank, but she wasn't having it. Today we walked into our LFS (Aquatica Gallery in Valley City, OH), and got talking...

I've got the itch to do another tank and have always wanted to try a shallow mangrove lagoon style tank. I recently picked up the perfect dimension tank for this build and I am really to get started with it. The pics below are my inspiration for the build. Equipment List: 30 Gallon Deep...

Hello! Im still fairly new, I set up my first tank (A Evo 13.5 in Sep ‘17) and quickly moved into a Lagoon 25 in November. Here we are in March I’ve made into my final tank upgrade, a Lagoon 50. I am limited in size due to where I live hence the confidence in that statement. I also wanted to...

Backstory _______________________________ Let me start by saying I had a 600 gallon system with 100+ fish that ran well for years. I hardly attended to it because I was on the road for two, almost three years straight. Due to a large mangrove population and some rocks that had been cycled 15+...
