I'm actually pretty annoyed with Sicce's unusual threading size on their pump.
My current return line is plumbed for 1 1/4" to get maximum flow out of my waterbox 150.4 setup. It seems the Sicce 7 SDC pump has a thread around it sized for 1 3/8" which is unusual and quite questionable (why ‽)...
I'm moving in the next few weeks and will use that as a good excuse to upgrade my 75 gallon tank from a canister filter to a sump system. I've got a 29 gallon tank and a few other pieces of equipment and now I'm looking into in-sump skimmers. I read somewhere that you can get a skimmer that is...
Size matters when it comes to Engineer Goby’s. They grow long like an eel to a purported size of 12”!
I’ve had mine for about 6mos and got a rare glimpse of him today. Looks like he’s up to about 6”! Very impressed to see his growth from the little 1” baby I purchased him as.
Lets see the...
Hello, I want to set up a tank for a Stars and Stripes puffer, I know they need big tanks but how big exactly? My house Is not huge and I don’t want to get something to small so just wondering.
Hi,
in the coming month I’m going to order my first reef tank. However, I’m having a hard time deciding between the WB reef 130.4 or 180.5. They both fit my budget, although, I have a little more extra to spend on the 4ft one if I decide to go with that one. My question is, will I regret if i’m...
I am currently trying to put a new ocellaris clown into my 20g tank. I had two clownfish before, but one died, so this is the replacement.
However, the new clownfish is approx 3 inches, while the clown I already have is about 1.5 inches. I’m worried about putting them together and having the big...

Hey everyone!
I need a bit of help choosing the correct tank size for my ocellaris clownfish.
I’ve got the options to pick between a 96Litre (25G US) and a 120L (31G US) tank. I’d normally always go the bigger sized tank, but I’ve found an amazing deal on some new preowned equipment which...

I was trying to make a drying rack for my Hanna Checker vials and was having a hard time finding the thread size for them. I tried calling Hanna and spoke to their tech department and they didn't know what the thread size was either. Any help would be much appreciated and thank you for your time!
Hello, i recently started building a larger reef tank.
I got a 25g Rimless tank, it came with a sump & stand.
Anyways i got it drilled and added a overflow.
I got the...
I've always wondered what manufactures really mean when they give dosing instructions based on "gallons."
For example, Korallen-Zucht and Red Sea give dosing instructions for their additives in terms of X ml or X drops per 25 gallons.
Gallons of what?
Is it based on the rated tank size (my...
I have fish that I know will outgrow my tank. They’re small now as juveniles but I know some reach over a foot when grown. I have plans for where they will go when they do get too large. But I don’t know how to tell when that is. What are the signs that it’s time for a fish to move to one of my...
So - everyone here with an SPS related tank is concerned about growth. Without googling:). What is the maximum growth to expect from SPS within a year?
Hi all.
I am stocking a fish only tank and decided I want to add a red coris wrasse. I’ve kept one once before but ended up taking down the tank a few months lather when I moved.
Last time I bought the wrasse as an adult but this time I’m buying a tiny juvenile (about 1.5 inches) since I’ve...
Hi all
ive decided to get a peacock mantis shrimp and give it its own tank. I found an old oceanic 8 gallon bio cube on Craigslist for 35$ and was thinking of using that. It fits perfectly on my nightstand. I also have a 20 gallon setup that I took down a few months ago when I upgraded. But...
My WWC Bounce is growing quickly in its new home. I had acquired the mushroom a few months back in a trade. It was smaller than a dime and didn't have a single bubble on it when I first added it to my tank. I am beyond pleased with the amount of bubbles that it has grown, but they tend to stay...
