Hi! This is the build thread for my nano drop-off tank. It’s a fun little tank, and I hope you have fun following it. Strike-up date: 30 December 2021 The tank: Dymax IQ9 Volume: 48 litres (12-13 gallons) Skimmer: stock standard Sump media: stock standard, but swapped out the ceramic rings for...

Hey everyone, I noticed on my glass within my aquarium there seems to be tiny little white specs and they move, seems like I got a good amount. Are they copepods? Or something else I should be concerned about? I’ve attached a picture and they are very small, I hope the picture is clear enough...

Hello fellow reefers! Recently added a small/med sailfin tang to our 125gal reef and within a few days it’s gone MIA. We’ve looked everywhere and moved some of the LR to see if maybe got stuck in the rockwork but to no avail. Are they known to be jumpers? If that’s the case it probably got...

Hi all, I’ve had any clown for about 6 months, and just 2 days ago she switched her hangout spot from the upper corner near the power head to under a rock arch. Is this normal behavior or am I just being paranoid? She still eats well and sometimes explores the tank. #reefsquad

Hey everyone, So I started out in the reef hobby very careless as I wasn’t too sure if I’d enjoy it and I tried to do this on a budget. Fast forward 8 months in, I never quarantined anything, fish or corals. I had a ich breakout and I really enjoy the hobby so I want to do it right this time...

Hey guys so I wanted to know before I make the jump but I’ve read on LiveAquaria that the pink tail is aggressive but how aggressive are they? I currently have a blue tang (hippo) and a chromi in the tank theyre small like about 3in so they’re small and I’ve been eyeing this trigger for about a...

Ok so i just got my new Fiji cube 57 gallon complete set up. My issue is what to do about the refugium. I’m going to get 2 AI Prime HD 16 lights and a VerioS-2 return pump. I have a Tunze ATO from prev tank. Will be using some bio media under the filter floss but after that I have no clue...

Was thinking of going with a radion xr15, just don’t know whether to do blue or pro as well if I go with that light. Thank you for any help in advance!

I’m on the tail end of equipment building, I have begun compiling a livestock list. The total volume is 230 but I know I can’t include that for livestock so after the sump volume I have 190 gallons to play with (so I’m using a 1 inch per 3 gallon rule). This list is also excluding the clean up...

A few weeks ago I came across a tank(can’t remember where) that was huge, and the corals were allowed to grow where and how they wanted, even if it meant fighting between corals. While parts of the tanked looked great, others not so much. I completely dismissed the idea. since then I’ve seen...

I have a 13.5 Fluval that has been running for 2 years, this week. I have an ocellaris, six line wrasse, and a cardinal. The cardinal was added about a year ago and never had any problems with aggression and my fish all hang around eachother (no sticking to certain parts of the tank). I have...

Hey guys so I just wanted more input but I’ve been trying to keep clownfish in my tank, I’ve been taking my water weekly to WWC and LFS for test and everything is fine, all my parameters are fine, I’ve been able to keep in the tank a Hippo Blue tang, purple tang, chromis and a blue throat...

I recently cleaned a used aquarium that i just bought with vinegar, and i rinced it with water. ive seen other poeple do that, but it only occured to me that it could have an effect on water chemestry and livestock health, like with Ph and whatnot. i have a 55 gallon, so i cant touroughly rince...

These are practically brand new, I set them up and had them on maybe 2 months over a 4 foot LPS and softie tank. Very light use for the number of lights over that frag tank. I am currently trying to sell them to someone else so that they can use them as I won’t be able to run my tank for a...

Hey guys so I have this Galaxia frag, I’ve had it for months now and it’s been perfectly fine but today I noticed these weird sponge-like things around the frag, they don’t seem to be harming the guy and looking around I actually see some around the head of some torches, is this something I...

Hello! If you were choosing between Fluval Marine LED light or Current USA Orbit Marine, which would you choose? Price is about the same. I was going to go with USA orbit but it looks like it maxes at 8,000k? Fluval maxes at 25,000k. Thank you!! Fluval Sea Marine 3.0 LED Aquarium Lighting...

Ok, So last night I realized my lined seahorse has snout rot and a white spot on his tail. I'm pretty sure he has a bacterial infection, so I immediately put Marcylin-2 in the tank. Will Marcylin-2 work long term and heal my seahorse, or will I have to get something else? Please Help.

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking at my reefs stock and trying to find the general “rule” for stocking reef tanks. For context I have a 164L 36 gallon tank with a sump, skimmer, live rock, refugium and it is 2 years old, i’m still slightly newer to corals so it’s a whole new ballpark! i’m...

I’m in the process of parting together my 250 gallon beast, got impatient, and saw Waterbox having a 10 gallon cube sale and came up with this. Attached a AI Prime 16 HD Reef on it for good measure. Now debating if I want to make it a nano reef or a nano anemone tank!

Hey guys, I have an odd ball question, so in my tank stock I have a Purple Tang, Blue tang, blue throat trigger, pistol shrimp with a pistol goby and a red scooter. My tank parameters are all normal I’ve taken multiple water samples to World Wide Coral and run a full test and they’ve said...
