I have a 30-gallon biocube. The hood has been removed and replaced with a custom acrylic panel that sits on top and a China Box light that is hung above it. There are two nano skimmers in the back section in compartments 1 and 2. There is a 20-watt analog heater in the third chamber with the...

I have been out of the hobby for a few years and just getting ready to get back in as we have bought a house and won't be moving each year. I have a 9-10 gallon rimless jbj tank that I would like to start cycling and get a couple basic pieces in it. Within the year I plan on...

Being a deep water fish, Anthias are used to live in cooler water environment.
Anthias enthusiasts, please chime in.
