180 gallon

I’m setting up my first saltwater tank — it’s a 180-gallon display — and I could use some advice. Right now, I have a Red Sea 500 auto fleece roller, but my local fish store is recommending I upgrade to the Red Sea 1200. Here’s my question: Would it work if I added another 500 fleece roller...

Hello Everyone! I'm thrilled to share that I'm starting a brand-new SPS reef tank build, and I thought it would be great to document the journey here on Reef2Reef. For those who don't know me yet, I'm Sebastian, and I've been reefing for a while, but this is my first dive into a dedicated SPS...

Hello everyone, I haven’t posted in almost a year I think. Last year around this time I set up my 20 gallon water box, the tank is still running and it’s been through. It’s ups and downs lots of coral lost but my two clown fish are still alive and thriving. Knock on wood ha ha. I’ve been in the...

At 3:00 AM last Thursday, my wife and I awoke to my tank alarm and the fire alarm going off. My oceanic 150 blew a seam and causing an electrical fire. In my 14 years of being in this hobby, I never thought something like this would happen to me (jokes on me lol). Luckily, there’s no damage to...

What is max number of gobies for a 180 gallon tank? Is there even a max number or can I have as many as possible that would fit in the tank?

Hi Everyone, I have had saltwater aquariums for the past 15 years and kept everything from seahorses (in a FOWLR setup) to reef-keeping. I currently have a 46 gallon bowfront reef tank that has been running for the past 8 years. I recently purchased a 180 gallon bowfront (74x24x24) that I will...

Hi, I just purchased a used 180 gallon bowfront aquarium that is going to need to work before I can get it up and running. It currently is drilled for a single overflow in the right corner but I am considering adding an additional overflow in the left corner for better water filtration down to...

I am planning a stand build for my 90 that will have more space below for a bigger sump and an equipment cabinet, can I see some ways reef ready owners have done this, or ideas to help? I need to make sure the braces are not in the way of the plumbing that will come thru the top of the stand...

I tend to bight off more than I can chew, but yolo haha. My wife and I started the conversation about moving to a larger tank this year, but wanted to wait until summer. However, one day I was scouring Facebook Market Place and found one heck of a deal. A guy had a system he had in his garage...

Backstory: My first fish tank was a 29 gallon (that became a 55 gallon) freshwater tank in college in the 1980s. First job, a couple of apartment/house moves later, a kid or two, and I was back in the hobby again in 2002. This time saltwater. I had a 90 gallon peninsula tank with some...

I’ve been in the feeding hobby since I was 16. While most kids begged for a puppy I somehow convinced my parents to buy a 75 gallon saltwater tank instead. You might say that tank was a failure, but I fell in love with the hobby during those two years of heartache and frustration. 2 years ago I...

Hello all! Hopefully the title is catchy, unlike this build thread... I promise this won't start out all that rad :) So where do I start? I usually approach things with the end in mind as that's a recipe for success in my job, but this is for fun so we'll pitch that book in the trash to...
