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?

Hello, I have some dried live rock and was wondering if someone had suggestions on how to prep it for the aquarium (it hasn’t cycled yet). I was reading that you don’t need to cure it because it is dried and didn’t come from another aquarium or in the ocean. Is this true?

Hi everyone, Just recently set up my first saltwater tank in a Biocube 16. I’m fascinated with the different life forms so I purchased live rock from the ocean at my lfs. Let’s hope I don’t regret it. The rock is teaming with life, and much of it I am still trying to identify. I am aware that I...
