    Brand new to the hobby and need advice - 75 gal

    Drain the tank and level it? It would be a pain, but would be the best long term I think.

    scooter and lawnmower blenny?

    Salt recovery after water change

    Really? I never would have thought that. Good to know, and as you mention, makes even stronger a case to do water changes.

    Overflow mod question

    Unless you increase the size of the pump, you will not get any more flow into the box by cutting in more notches. All you would do is lower the...

    Salt recovery after water change

    The answer is yes you can, but no you shouldn't! :) As mentioned, salt mixes contain a lot more than just salt. One of the main reasons to do a water...

    To GFI, Or Not To GFI.....

    I just installed GFCI receptacles for both of my tanks. They really should be anywhere there is a possibility of getting wet. I personally have never...

    Best return pump for the money?

    Your math is correct. But you also need to take into account additional head loss on the return pump due to fittings (elbows), etc. But you are on...

    Best return pump for the money?

    Just an FYI - pumps do not like to be dialed back. They should have no back pressure whenever possible, just head pressure. To start, figure out...

    Cycling Tempurature.

    The only reason to go higher is if you were cycling a tank with pure ammonia. In that case you would want to be around 85. Otherwise, keep it where...

    To QT or not to QT

    So is this going to change your mind? Just curious. I am of the mindset that you should only take medicines when absolutely necessary, otherwise let...

    Activated Carbon in a reactor

    Good points; HydroCarbon 2 meets those criteria, which is another reason I liked it.

    To QT or not to QT

    Good point Renee. Do you QT, and if so, do you treat for Ich even if there are no signs?

    Wave Maker or Vortech?

    To QT or not to QT

    Oh ok, that makes sense. I was thinking that you were saying a fish you had for a while got sick, not a new purchase.

    To QT or not to QT

    Here is a follow up question, did you QT the first fish in a cycled new tank? No other fish to infect, but still a good idea? The main reason I can...

    Stocking.

    Space is the issue. They swim a TON in the wild, and we are cramming them in relatively very small spaces. The theory is the lack of space can cause...
