So im about to add in my Arag-alive sand and then add in my saltwater, I just have a few questions: 1. I only have 10 gallons of saltwater made (about 40% of what the tank needs) will that affect the live sand? 2. I'm pretty sure I am supposed to put in the return pump and heater before adding...

Hello all my tank has been running for 4 weeks, 1 week with fish in it. I put in two clowns last Friday one seems to be thriving and eating everything while the other hasn’t eaten much if anything in like 3/4 days and is now breathing rapidly. Did I just get unlucky with this one?

Does anyone have experience storing saltwater mixed using Aquaforest Sea Salt? I have a 20 Gallon AIO, and the most time consuming part of my weekly water changes is mixing just a few gallons of saltwater. It mixes very quickly, which is convenient. But when it comes to mixing just 3-5 gallons...

So my uncle passed away back August and left behind several of his tanks, only one saltwater tank with life in it. It’s a biocube, but he was pretty weak towards the end and admittedly it got a little out of hand. I somehow managed to drive the tank and fish from Colorado to Washington and keep...
