Hi reefers, I was hoping to get some opinions/tips and what fish I should get and how to keep one. (Although I’ve done hours and hours of research on my own for each of these.) So far my top choices are: Peacock mantis shrimp (top choice always wanted one) Mudskipper Largemouth bass (I know...

I’m starting to put together the equipment for my almost ready tank. It’s a 50g tank with a 20g sump. I guess a 75g capable protein skimmer would work best. The one I had in mind has sold out on eBay, so I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for a good, efficient, in Sump protein...

Helllo reefers, I was recently at a LFS in NJ and saw quarter sized frags of GSP for $30 each. Personally, I felt bad for anyone silly enough to pay that. In NJ you can grab a frag from craigslist for about $10-$15. Obviously online retail is a whole different ball game. I'm just curious what...

Hi! I’m doing a project for college and $1250 is on the line rn. I know this isn’t a freshwater forum, BUT, it’s the only aquarium forum I’m a part of and I’m sure y’all have owned freshwater tanks too. SO, with all of the equipment and plants, not including fish, how much have y’all spent on...

Never been to a frag show before. How much should one bring to get a decent amount of frags? What do prices for decent looking acros usually run? Will 800$ get you a decent amount of corals? Are frags priced better then if you were to buy them any other time?! All adivice is welcomed :)

I have been pondering the idea of switching to LEDS. I currently have 2x MH 4x T5 with led moonlight not ran since 2009. In the process of gathering equipment for my system to be back up and running after a LONG break. WOOW!! has technology changed! With so many brands and types of LEDS it gets...
