Hey all, I am looking to move my 10gallon to a nice 20gallon but not sure the best way to go about it. Should I fill the 20gallon halfway and heat that water then just move everything at once? Pretend it was a large water change? Any experiences or help is appreciated.

Unfortunately my situation is changing and all I'll be left with is a 10gallon nano. Right now I am taking what I can out of my 55gallon with plenty of success however I am left with one problem. One-Eyed Jack, the Yellow-Finned damsel that has been around for eternity. He/she is really too big...

I'm looking to find a LFS here on Long Island. I used to know some good ones, but can't remember their names as its been awhile.... Anyone out there with some reccomendations? I know there are one or two in Suffolk, but even google has been of no help :( Thanks in advance :)

I was very disappointed in Brooklyn Aquarium, very small, ******* of a worker too. Country Critters is amazing. Beautiful tanks full of hard & soft corals, polite staff. The fish are all in great health!! I didn't see one fish that I wouldn't buy. I was there during feeding and I've never seen...

I want to add a skimmer to my tank which is now comprised of two tanks. One 55 gallon and a 30gallon underneath with a DSB and macro's growin on a reverse daylight schedule(sp?) I've always been fascinated with Tunze since reading about German reefs years ago. And I like their claim of having...

Just wondering what a good number of Turbos and lil bluelegged hermits a 55 gallon reef (sandbed, LR) would be, I don't want to add too many and have some starve :( Thanks.

Oh duh, it's your standard 55 Gallon 18" height 12" wide 48" long

Quick question, I have 2 10K 175Watt MH Pendants arriving tomorrow. I've come across various opnions on the height I need to hang them at above the surface. Right now all I'll need the light for is one carpet anenome. Also I figure I'll start the lights at 2 hours a day and add an hour every...

Hey all, I got a 55 gallon, which I converted to a Live sand bed with pleneum. I followed the directions in Sand Bed Secrets to a T, but water quality continues to be poor at best. I recently converted my sump into a refugium as well, since I have had amazing results with 2 other tanks. This 55...

I plan to be just keeping Soft Corals for the most part, Colt, Xenia, Leathers, and there's an anenome in there. It's a 55gallon, should a 50/50 ratio on dayligh/blue do well? or more daylight?

I was wondering what height I should have these bulbs above the water's surface? And how many watts would be suggested for a 55gallon? Sorry if that's too general : Paul
