    Saltwater tank to freshwater

    I found a decent deal on a 225 gallon saltwater tank 72" by 24". It's setup as of right now as a salt water tank.. According to the picture it looks like it has dual overflows...

    Siphoning sand?

    I really enjoy the white sand substrate I chose for my tank. However, my juvenile peacock bass is a very voracious eater with eyes bigger than his stomach.

    Freshwater Puffer Tank Cleaning

    I am planning on purchasing a Miurus Puffer (Congo Puffer). I have other fish such as oscars so I know how to do general cleaning. My question is should I be worried about my puffer biting me while cleaning the tank. I really don't want bit. Will it bite me and if so how do I fix this?

    Cleaning My 150 Gallon Pond

    So I have an 150 gallon pond and it currently has extra, larger fish (I'm going to be moving them out to a larger tank that I have once I can get help setting it up. They aren't especially large but just larger than the rest I have) and there is a great amount of debris at the bottom of the tank...

    Hey everyone. So I was wondering what everyone does to clean their acrylic? Obviously anyone with acrylic is worried about scratching it so I was wondering what all you're doing to prevent scratches as much as possible? I just watched the video of the guy with the 1700 gallon 'river' tank and...
