I bought the fiji cube 20 long DIY sump kit and it says i need the things in this pic of the directions, but I can’t find any “acrylic plastic silicone” online in general let alone anything that says it’s safe for aquariums. Any recommendations or ideas as to where i can find it?

So this past weekend my fiancé told me she doesn’t love me anymore and I’m back to living with my parents. On the bright side, I’m converting the empty room with much more space in their basement into the ultimate bat cave (I’m very into goth culture) where I’ll keep my nano tanks. I’m also...

Curious what others think I should stock my Innovative Marine 100g tank with. Planning to keep corals, mainly softies and LPS. I read another user calculated that with sand and rocks, leaves about 85g in the display tank. Unsure how true or accurate this is. You can see my build thread for how...

Hey guys after my last post, I’ve come to the conclusion that I most likely started a mini cycle on my tank which caused my more sensitive fish to die while some of the other remain. I have 6 fish left. I read @Humblefish post about new fallow period wherein you raise the DT to 86F-88F and that...
