    Sump DIY question

    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?

    Fiancé left me, new house = new tank

    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...

    Suggestions on a pump for nano skimmer?

    I have the eshopps nano skimmer with the stock pump (Sicce Micra) connected to a co2 scrubber, but the pump doesn’t pull in enough air to make the scrubber effective. Does anyone have suggestions on a stronger pump that will fit the ehsopps nano skimmer?

    Fallow Period

    To touch the back or not to touch the back - that is the question

    Hi team, I have an aio that has the hard plastic back. I’m thinking about doing some aquascaping and back in ye old days I had stacked rock and leaned some of it against the back of the tank. Do you think it’s better to avoid that if possible? My tank is a cube so it would be easy enough to avoid.
