    How do you install your airline tubing into your dosing reservoirs?

    I know that if you don't install it properly, it wont get all of the liquid out of your containers. Is there some kind of suction cup attachment that you can install on your tubing?

    Online or LFS orders for an Aquarium, what's the difference?

    Hey all, I'm leaning into ordering a IM 50 EXT tank in the new year, would it be better to order it myself online, or through at LFS? If it benefits our LFS's here in the bay I'd like to support them. Does it make any difference?

    Using shelf brackets as reef light mounts?

    So, I know I made a post the other day about not being able to drill into my ceiling, but would it make sense to use shelf brackets as a mount for some orpheks? If you've used them, what kind did you use?

When I size down to a rimless tank I'm looking to get some smaller lights similar to orpheks, as I can't...

    Do you set up tanks outside of your house?

    Hey all, I’ve been considering setting up a quarantine tank in my back yard for new fish I’ll be buying. I haven’t yet because I’m not sure if setting up a tank outside will be a great idea, but, it’ll be underneath a shaded area. What do you all think about outdoor QT tanks?

    Heater sizing

    Hey all, I bought 2 eheim 150 watt heaters rated for 79 gallons. Is this enough heat for a 150 gallon tank? My thinking is that 2 150 watt heaters would be the same as a 300 watt heater. Thanks!
