I have a 12 gallon nano-cube which was a reef tank with no fish until recently I bought a mantis shrimp.So now I need to find an aquarium so I can get him out of my reef tank. I am looking for a somewhat thick 4-7 gallon, acrylic, and with built in filtration. Give me you opinions about what I should get. Also I would like it to be somewhat nice looking for it is going on my desk. Please do not flame me for having a mantis I don’t find them to be pests as other aquarium hobbyist feel, that is not what this post is about.

I have 2 tomato clowns in my 24g nano cube 72W reef aquarium and i was wondering if since they are very similar to the anemones they host, would they host torch, frogspawn, or hammer coral?
SORRY i think they might actually be CINNAMON clownfish

Mrs. Sirius Black asked:


We have a biocube salt water tank with two clown fish and a fire shrimp. Our power went out last night for about 4 hours, during which I kept getting up to check on the tank because the filter went out with the power. Thankfully they’re fine and the power came back on, but how long can salt water fish survive without the filter working and what should you do in that sort of an emergency?

If I bought an aquapod 24 gallon complete tank, what additional supplies and equipment do I need for a 24 gallon saltwater system with just coral, cleaner shrimp, and a fish or two. Protein skimmer? Bio Balls? Refugium?
I’m a novice. eager to learn, but financially budgeted. want to try and calculate how much it would cost to get a tank up and running.
