Thanks for the support and the recommendations. I've seen Joey's DIY Chiller, my concern would be could it drop the temperature enough, but I guess for the price of a used mini fridge it would be worth a try. As far as tankmates that for the suggestions. Believe it or not the american eel is...

Hi All, I am currently looking to set-up a tank for a chain catshark. I have a standard 180 gal aquarium and I have kept brown banded bamboo sharks and coral catsharks with great success. However, when I moved I donated the sharks and emptied the tank. It's sat empty for about 6 months in my...

Hi all, So I have kept my bamboo shark for roughly 3 years. I typically feed shrimp, squid, and occasionally scallops. Is flounder safe to serve to bamboo sharks? It is fairly cheap in my area and would like rotate this into her diet.

I am relatively new to DIY, but I have made a few stands and filters. I would like to disassemble my 56 gallon glass aquarium (30"L x 18"W x 24"H) and recycle the glass to make a (30"L x 24"W x 18"H) glass aquarium. Mine main concern with moving forward is that the bottom of the tank has been...

I appreciate the advise. I looked in the corallife T-5, but I wasn't really happy with the other reviews. I ended up in HomeDepot this weekend and picked up a dual T-8 fixture. I grabbed a 2 foot fixture instead of a 4 foot one because i didn't want any overhang. I am running it along with the...

I'll definitely look into it. I already have the light was the reason I was asking. I haven't seen a lot of options for 3ft t-8 fixtures. Also I haven't seen to many 6500k bulb options that fit the 3ft fixtures. If you have any suggestions. I'll definitely give it a try. I have seen some people...

Hello Everyone, I am new to the planted side of aquariums. I am looking to setup a low light planted aquarium for my goldfish. I currently have this LED fixture...

Hey is that a beamswork light. I recently bought one and would like to grow some low light plants anubias and java fern. I would love to know how your plants do with it.

I am actually interested where you can find yellow stingrays. I am in NY and my LFS who can usually get me anything, has had no luck in finding me a yellow stingray. Sorry if I am jacking your thread. I will be following your build when you move forward with it.

I don't know if you already went ahead and purchased a pump, but if your looking for cheap. I would look into the tetra submersible pond pumps they are affordable and get somewhere near the flow your looking for. Personally I would look into a reeflo hammerhead/barracuda because they are inline...

my cherry louti grouper definitely ranks top notch. steals food from all the fish and isn't afraid to swim in open water.

I don't know much about plywood build except for what I've seen, but that is one awesome looking exterior. Never seen a plywood tank look so clean on the exterior.

Sorry to have shown this post some neglect, I recently have been engaged with tons of paper work regarding my new job and studying for the CPA exam. I've also reached out to my LFS. As a result I will be contacting the collector in the Keys on Monday.

Hi Zoodiver, I would love a PM with the collector's contact information. I will verify again with my LFS that they are absolutely sure they can not get a hold on any. As always I'm glad MFK has resources like you available.

Hello everyone, I have a smaller bamboo shark around 12 inches. Current tankmates include a pollenei and louti grouper. The louti grouper will be rehomed should he become a problem. Both are around 3.5-4 inches. I am looking for a schooling fish with some color. I have heard french grunts or...

Hello everyone, I currently running a 180 gallon FOWLR aquarium with light stock. However, I have plans to fully stock my tank within the next 3 months. I recently blew my protein skimmer, and I am in search of a replacement, preferably in-sump skimmer. I previously had a eshopps skimmer and was...

Zoodiver, I watched the video and I was curious the size of that male bamboo in the video. Based on the coloration of its bands it's not that old, but its probably one of the larger ones I've seen still demonstrating that coloration.

Hi, I have been in the hobby for sometime, but have only a few years of experience with saltwater. My question is what are some quality auto-topoffs. I am just trying to improve the stability of my salt levels.

I'll be honest I've kept coral catsharks in a 180 gallon tank before and your best bet for tankmates is probably some chromis or damsels. They don't compete for food and they don't pose a threat to the shark. Also they don't place a heavy strain on the filtration and could substitute as food.
