I’m setting up my first saltwater tank — it’s a 180-gallon display — and I could use some advice. Right now, I have a Red Sea 500 auto fleece roller, but my local fish store is recommending I upgrade to the Red Sea 1200. Here’s my question: Would it work if I added another 500 fleece roller...

So I have a 29gal topfin starter tank and I’m wondering what to buy to make it a more “suitable” tank for fish and corals I plan to put in. I know that actinic light is really good but I can’t seem to find a good brand that has reputable reviews, I also feel that I’ll need to buy a new/better...

Hello everyone! Recently I setup a fluval evo 13.5 gallon! I decided I want to keep seahorses and have done all research necessary to keep them. From what I have seen it is wayyy to small for larger species but may be to big for dwarf seahorses. I wanted to ask for some extra input. I've read...

When there's not enough water left in the brute can to do a water change what do you do?

Hi everyone, I posted recently and a lot of you had great answers so I’m asking more questions. I’ve only ever had beta fish before and that was an extremely long time ago. I was going to get back into the hobby and get another beta when I found myself in the position of inheriting someone’s...

Hey everyone. I'm located in South Jersey. Setting up a 125g with a 40g sump. I don't have enough cans to hold that much water and I only have a small RO/DI unit that does about 50g a day. So does anyone know of a place that would deliver about 150 gallons of pre mixed saltwater?

This is probably a silly question but I’m going to ask anyway. I have a tank that I’ve had up for a few weeks of fresh water fish and a snail. I kept going back and forth if I wanted to do salt or fresh started with fresh now I’m gonna go to salt since that’s what I really want. My question is...

One of zoanthids frag seems to be dying. I am new on this and kind of lost on what I should do. I had it for 2 months no issues, but last week started to look weird and it is getting worst by day. the only change I did was adding new corals, they seems to be doing fine. Please advice!! Thanks

Hi people, I'm new to saltwater aquariums but have kept tropical fish for about 10 years and finally took the leap This might be a stupid question but when mixing salt is it common for the salt to contain shards of crystallised salt? I have bought Tropic Marin REEF-Salt and just about to...
