Set up a 20g QT tank. Had a Flamehawk fish go through no problem. Then about 2 weeks ago we ordered 3 fish from liveaquaria.com 1 Purple Tang, 1 Flame Angle, 1 Royal Gramma.... The Royal Gramma passed about 3 days later and then the Flame Angle died about 2 days or so later.  All were eating and...

Wondering what the best CHEAP lighting option is for a 20g/30" long QT tank. I would like to start using this to QT soft and or lps corals.  Not sure what the best cheap option is.  Would love to stay as far under $100 as I can, but keep the coral alive for a month or so. :) Thanks for the input! 

So I never want to add anything to my tank without QT'ing again... but I don't know if that really going to work well with a cleanup crew.... So I was thinking... Can you dip snails, crabs, ect? Just like you do with corals?thanks for the input! :) 

Currently, I have flexible vinyl tubing off of the overflow and into the Sump.  My problem is that I have moved my Cheato into the first section of the sump since it is larger.... I have a very powerful LED light that grows the Cheato.... Amazingly!!!  .... but because the vinyl tubing is see...

Hello,My wife and I have come up with a list of fish we want to eventually add to our tank. Trying to figure out the best plan of action for adding which fish when. Would love any input! A Big Question is, knowing the Flame Angle & Yellow Tang can be aggressive... Should we add them at the same...

Would love to buy a used gyre pump. Thanks! 

 I've read in a few places of people using a vinegar solution to clean your tank, parts, and such. Can anyone tell me what type of vinegar and how many parts vinegar vs water ect? Thanks! 

I have three questions.... 1) How do you control the water volume in your sump? Mine is a little high I think. It comes over the first wall in the sump from time to time. I need it pretty high, because I am using my hob skimmer from my last tank and I need the water level to be high enough for...
