    No Filtration...0 Nitrates

    So I have been running a 32 gallon biocube for about a year which has been fairly successful. I had a long and difficult battle with dinos for a few months which I eventually won. I knew that the reason I had the dinos was bottoming out of my nitrates and phosphates which had both reached 0.00...

    Hi I’m new to aquariums - things going well so far about 3 months in. The corals I’ve added look alright & my fish are happy. One of the rocks in my tank is covered in green algae (SEE PHOTO)...

    Cycling a 5 gallon marineland tank

    I setup a small tank last night and I used half the water and a piece of live rock from my tank that is already cycled. My question is will this tank need to go through a cycle as well before adding anything? I would assume it's ready to go but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for any information you...

    What should our display tank be?

    While top down views are great for photographs, they just don't give the same effect as a normal full frontal tank view. This is why, we've decided its time to setup a little display to give our eyes a break from the computer screens as we maintain our website. We currently have three different...
