150 gallon tank build

I just bought a 150gal saltwater build second hand the other day. I will add pictures soon I have to give it an extra good clean to make it pretty. it’s in great condition and you can tell he took great care of it. He had an anemone die and didn’t catch it in time. It killed off the entire tank...

Hi everyone! I’m starting a project for my adorable captive bred seahorse herd. I found an amazing 150 gal 36” cube on offer up for $200! It had a stand but it was way too tall for me (5’1” person here), so I decided to build my own! I made it so the stand had a 1” lip on 3 of the 4 sides. The...

Guess I’ll throw myself into the tank build mix, which I’ll preface by saying this wasn’t my smartest decision while married. The Wife is 31 weeks pregnant and our 2-yr old just started to love fishies … so naturally I impulse bought a tank. As it is usually said, this will be an...

Getting a 150 gallon aquarium set up and was curious to know if a powder blue and purple tang would be good long term in there ? Both would be starting out at around 3 inches . Tank mates for now would be 2 ocellaris clownfish and 1 small fox face similar to them in size . Also feel free to...

So I’ve finally have been able to get my dream 150 gallon tank! But she’s a bit of a project so as much as I want to fill it up right away I have some things to do first . It’s already drilled, has over flow, came with a sump, ato water tank, and what I was told are two “China box lights”. I...

This is my very first salt water fish tank. My only previous experience is a 5 Gallon Betta tank, so essentially no experience. That being the case, I decided to start with an established tank (read second hand tank). It's a 150 Gallon reef tank, with sand, rocks, lights, and Fluval FX5...

First build on here. Moved to first house and purchased my ideal tank. Now working to get it to be my dream tank.

Had several tanks but this one is going to be permanent in place and hopefully will turn into my dream reef tank

Starting a new build after diving into the hobby around 1.5 years ago. I had been a planted freshwater guy, and when I moved to a new home I decided to tear down the freshwater tank and go salt. As such, I have been nursing a 65 gallon petco special tank, with a siphon based over tank overflow...

Hello R2R community! I've been in the saltwater aquarium hobby for about 10 years. I started with a 46 gallon bow front which I upgraded to my current 75 gallon about 5 years ago. Build thread here. It's been a great adventure with ups and downs. I got a steal of a deal on the 75. It's old...

Hey all, Planning a 170 gallon rimless peninsula build. An upgrade from my 90 gallon aqueon. Ordering glass soon, I've used some calculators available online but looking for more advice before ordering. With dimensions at 72Lx30Wx18H I am planning 1/2 glass. Which gives me a safety...

I need any opinions and tips on the what to watch for during the process as well as types of silicone. Tank is a bottom drilled typical dimensions with corner overflow. I planned to just reseal but the previous owner started the process then abandoned. So I think it’s best to completely tear...

After years of reefing, I finally was able to get my dream tank...the Innovative Marine Nuvo INT 150. I've had wide tanks, tall tanks, but always really wanted a deep tank. Here is how the process went! Equipment: Aquarium - Innovative Marine Nuvo INT 150 Stand - Innovative Marine APS...

Hi All! I recently moved, started a new job, and decided that now is the time to upgrade my reef tank! A little background: I've been using a 46 gallon bowfront tank that my dad and I set up when I was in 6th grade. That reef lasted until we moved a couple yeasrs later but, between one thing...

Hello all! So I've been gone for a while but I think this is a fun come back for me. So if you know me you know I have a two year old zebra moray eel and a one year old foxface, both are getting pretty big, though eel will be fine in there for a few more years but might as well get this out of...

So a few years back I lost everything to Hurricane Matthew. No power for a week and couldn't even get to our home for days. When we finally returned home everything in the tank was gone. Fast forward a few years, and a few dozen repairs later and here we are, starting over from scratch. I...

Hey gang! I moved out of my apartment to a house in Seattle, so The Apartment Reef has been disassembled. On the bright side, the new house has a semi-finished basement, so I’m back in the big tank game! The new (to me) tank is a centerdrilled 150gallon tank I picked up from a nearby guy on...

Hello friends. Exciting things are happening. Tank is cycling now so I want to plan what fish will go in. Here is a list of a few, please add or subtract. I REALLY want a blue throat trigger or Niger trigger, so please tell me when I should place those (first, middle, last)? Pair of...
