Hello reefers,
I'm about to dose my 6 month old 12G nano with copepods and phyto for the first time. What should I know?
How do I add pods from battle to tank, should I add it in water or at rocks, corals, sand? Should I do it with lights off, UV off, pump off?
What about phyto? Will too much...
I just picked up a deskmate 4.8 and was curious on stocking recommendations. I've seen many conflicting views and wanted to get an updated answer from the community. As of right now I am looking at a tailspot blenny, yasha goby/pistol shrimp combo, clown goby, or possibly a firefish although I...
Hi all,
After thousands of research, I bought Sony Rx100VI. I'm very happy with the results.
My aim was to find the best point-and-shoot camera for my needs.
Here are a few shots I made and cropped from the entire photo. These are not taken with a macro lens.
I will keep this topic updated. It...
So, The pieces I have been waiting on have arrived - pump and outflow accessories - and I'm going to try my hand at rebuilding the AIO chamber of the tank I have.
The tank is a 3 gallon Marineland contour AIO that I ripped the back partition out of in order to give the tank a larger display...

Hello all,
Looking to add a controllable light to my Aquatop 40 cube (21.7×21.7×21.7). Love the look and coverage of the 30w actinic blue and white it comes with but I want it to be more controllable than 2 on off switches on the cord. I ordered the current usa orbit 24 but the app was not...
SO.
Some of you may know from previous posts and comments that I have a desktop freshwater betta tank that housed a betta, shrimp and plants. It was a gift to myself when I started working from home, and it's been a lovely little tank. I've had it for threeish years now, and have done a few...
Going to get back into the hobby after a 10 year break. I have my cart full of everything, just waiting next week for a sale. Please let me know if this looks good?

Greetings!
Doing a bit of an experiment. I will get into more details as to why I am doing this particular plan in future posts. For now, the short version is that I am starting a 10g nano tank as a QT/Observation tank for live rock...

Just grabbed a Fluval evo 5 gal and been trying to navigate the whole pump/wavemaker mine field. All the recommended upgrade pumps are discontinued and I can't find a replacement for the life of me that would allow me to not need a wavemaker. Does anyone know of something in today's day and age...
Getting ready to set up my first saltwater aquarium. It’s a 150g but I truly love having smaller fish as I feel it gives the whole tank a better sense scale. My 60g freshwater currently houses fish that will never get over 1” long and I absolutely love it!
What fish would you suggest that...
I know that bigger equals more stable in reef tanks, but as I'm still very new to the hobby, a small start's a good start.
I'm wondering what would be the minimum tank size for a pistol shrimp and goby pair? Provided there's plenty of hardscape and substrate to dig around in. Research has given...
About two weeks ago I purchased a neon pink tip torch it’s my most expensive coral. For the first week it was doing so well opened up massive and was doing perfect. A week later I went to glue a new coral frag I bought and I grazed the torch with my hand it closed up and was bothered for a day...
Quick question I have for everyone, I am considering getting an IM 25 Lagoon. I want to get the NUVO Roller Mat, but since the 25 Lagoon has a dual intake on both sides would it be worth it to get a roller fleece only for one of the intakes? Also, what would be the best ATO for the IM 25 (Cheap...
Perfectly good leather to snuggle against but, nope, my fish rather go sideways into a cave! Stranger yet my cleaner shrimp lives here so I believe he goes in here to get his wash on!
Hello! I just upgraded from a 10 Gallon to a 18 Gallon Red Sea Nano desktop and would like to set up a controller and dosing system for the new tank. The Nano is an All in one so it has a built in filter sock, skimmer, charcoal but thats it. Any recommendations on how to augment the existing...
Hey all, looking for some recommendations.
I have a 5 gallon softie only nano reef (mushroom, zoas, kenya tree, gsp) and I’m getting ready to ramp things up with my coral game. I recently upgraded my light and pump so I feel that my tank is ready for some LPS. I recently got this little guy and...
