new tank

My reef tank has been setup for 9 months and Im still battling this horrible red algae. No matter how much I remove it just keeps coming back. My tuxedo urchin ate so much at first but not any more. The algae has wiped out 2 zoanthid colonies, covering them up in this red slime and wiping them...

Hi everyone! So I’m a bit stuck in my cycling process. I had seawater delivered 12 days ago from Natural Seawater supplier. I used dry rock and live sand for my Fluval flex 123l. My lfs advised me to use Seachem stability to start my cycle. I have been ghost feeding with flakes each day but...

Hi I recently set up a new tank. Should be total water volume of around 650 litres when you subtract sand and rock. I want to purchase a UV to help with parasite control as well as water clarity. I have had Ich, Dino’s and cyano in the past. I am in the UK and torn between 4 different UV...

Well due to local reefers generosity, I can start building this tank for the school! Brand new for me, as I've never had a sump system before, nor this big of a tank before. My idea is building the kiddos ( kinder-5th grade) a clown harem tank with dare I say, different types of clowns? I feel...

Hello R2R! Thought I'd create a build thread for my first ever reef tank. I purchased the Waterbox 15 Peninsula AIO tank. Plan for softies and LPS, plus some fish and inverts. I've had fresh water tanks before, but always been too daunted to switch to salt water. I decided to take the leap and...

Hi everybody I have a question hope someone can help me with. So I’m recently just getting back into the hobby with an Innovative Marine nuvo 15 tank. It’s cycled going on 3 weeks with two clowns…but I recently had the opportunity to get the innovative Marine nuvo 20 tank an impulse buy and...

I have a 75 gallon tank and I’m wondering when I should start doing water changes.I only got 1 fish in there so far.

Hello! Let me first give you some background on myself and my tank. I am not an expert in reefing but I am not new to it either. I have grown several successful reefs and farms. But like all of us I have forgotten and become impatient about some of the new tank uglies. My tank is a 62g...

Can velvet or brooklynella stay dormant in a clownfish for 4 weeks without appearing? I think my clownfish I have had for almost a month is starting to exhibit symptoms of brooklynella.

Hi everyone, hoping not to annoy asking this as I’ve seen similar posts. My tank is roughly 2 months old so very new and I am learning every day about the cycling and thank this group for so much info. Is this good ‘algae’ or should I be doing something different? My levels are great: KH -...

Hi All, To be perfectly clear I am brand new to the hobby so I could be completely wrong, but I think this Tank and fish have been neglected. I need help preparing myself a little priority-wise for helping this ecosystem. So please help me identify with the photos I have provided any problems...

Hi all, I recently set up a new 30 gallon reef tank and am trying to figure out what to do. For some background, I have a 13.5 which I bought a rock that had 3 awesome nems on and placed it in my tank knowing the previous owner had dinos. This sparked the dinos in my 13.5 which I have recently...

I want to use the same rock that I have in my current tank into my new tank. I have some algae on the rock at the moment, would it be ok to do some sort of dip to get the algae off the rock when placing it into the new tank? I don’t want any of that algae going into the new tank. What should I do?

Hello everyone, I am in the process of getting an Innovative Marine 25 Lagoon. I currently have a tank with live rock in it. A couple of weeks ago I took out probably 5-10 lbs of rock that was in the tank which was live rock. I dried it out and it has been in the sun the past 2-3 weeks. Is it...

Hi everyone! We are Eugene and Dasha. Unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance to create our built threads yet, but hopefully with this thread we’ll be able to achieve that too… My husband and I have 3 tanks set up at the moment, my husband’s first tank, a Reefer Max C 250 (65gal), my old...

The tank I want to thank @i cant think and @SaltyT again for help on the stocking but that stocking was intended for a 180 gallon tank and after some discussion and negotiation I can confirm I will be purchasing my dream tank, a 100g/≈374L tank, and all the equipment needed this afternoon. I...

I just recently noticed these. Seems like my clown fish are eating them, maybe?! I did drop a cube of PEMYSIS in last night because my new clown fish seem to not like pellets, but that is a different discussion! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Should I be concerned? Thanks,

Hello guys! I just started my first tank about 9 weeks ago and I just want to see what you guys thought on the different types of algae and bacteria. Its all new to me so I really can’t tell what’s good or bad since it is my first tank ever!I if you guys have any suggestions or things that you...

So I am starting up a new 22 gallon tank and planning on bringing my clowns and inverts over from my Fluval 13.5. Problem is the 13.5 has been showing signs of slight dinos from a rock that I had recently added to the tank after buying some anemones. I would love to move the anemones to the new...

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...

Hi everyone! I've recently been building up my 90 gallon tank setup and I think I've finally just about finished it for now. I'd love to know everyone's thoughts on my aquascape, sump setup, and more! To start, it's a 48x18 marineland corner flow aquarium which I have plumbed with a Herbie...
