nano build

Hello everyone, I am a long time lurker here but I finally have something that might be worth sharing! I have had a Fluval Evo 13.5 AIO tank for about 2 years now and I ended up with a second one so I am starting a new build (which I will also retrofit to my other tank if it works well)...

Once again a very huge thank you to @Rubymoon286 for this amazing Secret Santa gift!! Obviously didnt take me long to rip the wrapping paper of and get started! Behold the beginning of The Winter Reef! My first venture into a nano tank :) - Deskmate Classic 5g - using the included pump for...

I’ve been in the hobby for about 3 years now. Just started over on a new tank. Here it is! It’s a nano.

Hey all! I've never posted a build thread but always wanted to. Been deep in and out of the freshwater hobby my whole life and have dabbled in keeping a FOWLR system in the past, but I'm ready to graduate on to the world of reefing. I decided I'd go with something small that can easily be moved...

I've been reefing for around 7 years now, starting in the hobby when I was 17. My first reef was a fluval m60 which ended up being still one of my best tanks to date. This tank was upgraded to a red sea 170 which was also a success. I ended up taking some time out the hobby due to university...

Hello everyone, I've been out of the hobby for about 6 years but i had been quite active in the hobby prior to that dating back to 2002. I had 3 tanks in the past, a 85 gallon half hex, 29 biocube, and 20 gallon standard tank. My kids are now at the age where they have taken a real interest in...

First tank in several years (First ever was in 2007), I made the cardinal sin of choosing a smaller tank, and I have already started planning the upgrade, should be about September when I start piecing that together, will be a 75g Innovative Marine INT. For now, the IM 20g Fusion Pro (first gen)...

Hi all, I built a little acrylic tank as a proof of concept to see how it would go and it was good, so I wanted to use it to make a "Micro/Nano reef", the tank is 30cm*30cm*50cm (W*L*H). Was thinking I would have a cm or so of sand than some small rock and not sure if I would have a fish or...

I’ve been saving up, studying, and working hard to save up $$ -I put some money aside for either a 90 gal discus tank or end my SW hiatus... Finally hit arange where I can acquire a somewhat decent nano aquarium. Going bare-bottom w/ dry rock with only 1-2 fish (NO CLOWNFISH since I refuse to...

Hi reefers! I am using this build thread to document my journey to rescue two baby clownfish and to seek help along the way. The Mission: Nurse 2 clownfish babies back to health. See background: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/rescuring-2-baby-clownfish.900102/ TDR: They came from a...

Here's my build thread. I'll try and start from the beginning when I started before ending up with the 20gallon AIO I have now. May take me a few days to find pics and get them posted. Here's how it started: A Fluval Chi 5g (was freshwater, but the pump failed and I decided to repurpose), a...

Hi everybody! I just wanted to thank everyone for the amazing information you all post on a daily basis. Here's my story! I'm back in the aquarium hobby after 30 years (haha had a bunch as a kid) and started my first Reef tank in October last year. Here are the specs: Fluval flex 9 AI Prime...

Hello, I have a larger reef on our main floor but working from home gave me the urge to build a small office tank using leftover equipment and some DIY. The tank is far from done, but just kinda taking my time with it and having fun. I always enjoy seeing the interesting ideas of everyone’s...

Short version: Would love to document my journey on a BTA tank build and share some info with a community that has given me so much knowledge. There will be a few things that I will be trying out for the 1st time and a lot of time tested stuff I have discovered through trial and error on...

Hello Everyone, So recently I bought the 22.4 Gallon Rimless Nano Tank from FijiCube off of bulk reef supply. I wanted to hear suggestions on my build and hear any thoughts and concerns. I'm very happy with this build and I'm very excited to start reefing but before I start aquascaping I want...

Greetings all! This is going to be my build log/tank progression thread for my new 29 gallon display/10 gallon sump project. Currently running a modded fluval evo 13.5, which while getting me into and helping me learn the hobby, I would like an upgrade. My original idea was to save up for a...

I should have started this thread from the beginning, but oh well! I'm only a few weeks into it, so I'll start a list of my equipment and add some photos here as things progress. Aquarium: Waterbox Peninsula 15 gallon Stand: DIY 2x4 stand wrapped in plywood and painted. Heavy duty leveling feet...

This is mostly copied from my introduction meet and greet post, but I wanted to consolidate the information here in my build thread! Below is an overview of my current setup: Display Tank (DT) Tank: Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 25 Gallon Lagoon (w/ overflow protection and hightide risers)...

Edit: Fish Plan! Thanks to all for the feedback/recos, I really appreciate it! First aquarium from scratch! :) grew up with a 45g that I adored as a child, so my mom surprised me with an Evo 13.5 for my 26th birthday! Tank/Equipment: Fluval Evo 13.5g, stock light & pump, hygger 1,600GPH wave...

Welp… it’s been just about a year since I’ve set up my first reef tank, and like many others, I found myself looking to upsize the tank. Through this past year, I’ve definitely made plenty of mistakes and certainly felt at times that this maybe wasn’t the hobby for me, but I seriously can’t...

Hey everyone, I'm going to start a super shallow (6 inches tall) frag tank (the 6x18x18 by advanced acrylics) for my mushrooms but I've got a question or two. My plan is to transfer most if not all of my mushrooms into this tank and have it as a place for new frags. Right now, they are in my...

Hey guys! Downgrading my Redsea Reefer XL300 to a Waterbox MP25! Decided to take things a little slower with this tank and what better way to do that then documenting the process! All is on order, just awaiting deliveries! Stay tuned
