1st off, #WelcometoR2R !! 2nd. The basics are still the same. There is always this to read.. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/cycling-an-aquarium.306554/ Keep the questions coming!! We'll get you there!!

#WelcometoR2R and congratulations on your saltwater adventure! I currently have 3 #reefoctopus skimmers running on different tanks including the 150 INT classic. IMO you will be fine with the Reef Octopus 150 INT on your system both now and in the future.

#WelcometoR2R and welcome back to the hobby! When it comes to heaters, one thing to think about in addition to tank size is the difference between the ambient temperature and the desired water temperature. Another thing to think about is possibly getting a heater controller such as an Inkbird...

#WelcometoR2R!!! It sounds like she is doing some industrial-scale nesting! :)

Not looking super happy. Definitely browned out. Knowing the age of the tank as well as the major parameters would help. Add some details about lighting and temp, and we'll have a basis to help. Otherwise we are just speculating. Oh.. almost forgot, #WelcometoR2R !!

First off #WelcometoR2R !! I would find something relatively inexpensive from a shop known to have a high turnover rate. As an example, I wouldn't want to buy live sand that has been on the shelf for 3 years. I'd want to buy sand that just came in.

...about the troubles. Could you post your full tank numbers and more info about your tank, maybe a pic. I saw CU on icp, but such a small amount I am not sure that would be the cause. I will defer that for a second opinion. With a bit more info hopefully we can figure something out. #WelcometoR2R

#WelcometoR2R!!! If you're comfortable sharing, I encourage you to introduce yourself in the Meet & Greet forum.

First off, welcome to R2R. #WelcometoR2R Might I assume you can't get it through the stand doors with the center brace? What I've had to do with other large sumps (a 75 gallon DIY sump under a six foot 180) was to first install the sump through the top of the stand, and then put the DT...

#WelcometoR2R!!! I have also cut down PVC 90s to get them to fit. Although some people do paint PVC that is exposed to their tank water (Krylon Fusion is the normal recommendation), I personally avoid paint in my tank. Here is a post by @ca1ore in a thread on overflow boxes that you might...

Welcome to R2R! Can you provide picutures of your setup? We can take a look and help you get plumbing all figured out :) #WelcometoR2R

My go to silicone for acrylic/glass sumps......Use that all the time and sticks extremely well to glass and acrylic. Just make sure you let it cure. I prefer at least 3 days, but like 5 better. Oh, and welcome to R2R....you're going to like it here. #WelcometoR2R

First off, welcome to R2R #WelcometoR2R Sure looks like Ich, but I'm no expert, so let's get the right eyes looking... @Big G , @HotRocks , @4FordFamily , #reefsquad In the meantime, I'd get a hospital tank set up to isolate all fish.

I’ll let others jump in with filtration recommendation for a puffer tank, but I want to say #WelcometoR2R!!! @EmilyXLC

Hello Glad you joined and welcome to R2r #WelcometoR2R It has been a long time since I have cleaned rock. If I remember right, the best way to be sure to rid the rock of the mushrooms would be an acid bath. I would rather be sure though and get another opinion. Let’s see if maybe @Retro...

Hello!! Radion is a great light. #WelcometoR2R :)

#WelcometoR2R Let see if we can get some help with your question... #reefsquad @HotRocks

Just wanted to say #WelcometoR2R I do that when I have nothing else to contribute To the question . But, it does bump the thread so maybe some one else will know. And again welcome

I had to stop by also and say #WelcometoR2R you already got the best advice. Could I add on a few questions? How much rock and fish are you starting with. You may just be able to do a complete transfer with new sand and some rock without the worry of a cycle. Is there any other filters on the...

Well first let’s just say #WelcometoR2R If it is a new piece or you made changes most likely it is responding positively to its new environment. Looks like it is doing good. since you are new, if you like stop by the meet and greet section and intro yourself so we can all say hi

#WelcometoR2R!!! We’re glad you’re here!
