I'm looking to setup a silent reef tank since it will be in the same room as I work and can't focus which noise. I'm looking to put together a reef tank that's 40-50 gallons. I would prefer something affordable (Maybe up to $500ish or less?) that's complete if possible.
I've been told to get...

Long story short I spent about a year and a half building...
So we currently have a 32g biocube. The wife has gotten into corals that go on the sand bed. Such as Acanthos, Cynarias, ELegance, Lobo, Wellsos, and Trachys. To give us more sand bed i was thinking of going to a 40B with the AIO drop in as my wife dosen’t want to do a sump till we move. Has...
After posting about my refugium over in the macroalgae forum I decided why not post up my whole build progression while I'm at it.
First off, I suppose this would be considered a budget build by most standards, and/or DIY, nearly everything was repurposed from old builds during my last foray in...
Hello all. I just recently joined but I have come across an issue with the design for a tank I am making. I want to have a black background, but I can't paint the outside becuase of its design.
The black divider pictured will be made of glass, but that is what I want to be black. But how can I...

Good day to all. I have been slowly prepping my aquarium upgrade and am determined to find something to cover the AIO sump box section. I had a DAS 60g with internal filtration, old school AIO (got the tank in '98) and I used old crusty filter socks to cover that area to prevent algae growth and...
Hey everyone! Here's a glimpse into my build so far! Will be updating more as time goes on. The tank has been up, scaped and cycled via fishless for a few weeks now. Will be ordering the clowns I want soon. I will get some pics for everyone soon. I'm pretty stoaked about my scape for this tank...
I recently got a new Innovative Marine NUVO Fusion Peninsula PRO AIO Aquarium Bundle for Christmas and here I will be posting my progress and issues that I encounter while building my tank! I am switching from a 10 Gallon NUVO AIO, which is simply too small for me to deal with any issues I...
I have had aquarium since I can remember. Ok the very first one hardly can be called an aquarium as it was just a 3l jar with a 2-3 inch catfish in it my dad caught while we were fishing. And that fish didn’t last long with me as he had to go back to the river Danube. It was growing faster and...
This isn’t my first rodeo with saltwater. I left the hobby a few years ago. However, my love for saltwater aquariums has returned! I’m excited to begin a all new journey with new plans and goals. The hobby has grown quite a bit since my 29gal biocube In 2015. With all of the new gadgets coming...
I just started this tank up about 2 months ago after upgrading from my 13.5 evo after I saw a good deal on Facebook and couldn’t pass it up. Thought it was final time to make a build thread.
Equipment:
Stock innovative marine pump(467gph)
Aquami Kps powerhead
Autoaqua smart ato
5 gallon ato...
going to be upgrading an IM20 to an IM30...since im currently documenting the IM20 progress in my waterbox20 build thread, I thought the new tank deserved it’s own thread!! IM20 is about 18 months old, I got it used off of CL as a full setup.
goals of upgrade: more horizontal space for various...
So out of the blue I stumbled on a posting on FB for a 10g tank. I have been kicking around some ideas for my FW 55g and my old 29g and never thought of going smaller. I offered the guy 50$ thinking there is no way he would take it. Turns out not only did he take it but he lived about 5 doors...
Hello All!
I’ve decided to start my first ever reef tank after spotting the AIO Fluval Flex 32.5 Gallon Tank Kit (Aka Fluval Flex 123L). Figured the all in on (AIO) was the way to go since I’m a first timer and the setup seemed pretty simple to grasp. However, after reading about this tank from...
This is my first saltwater aquarium. Since around middle school, I've kept freshwater aquariums, and I just finally decided to try saltwater as I'm off on my second year of college. I would have rather of gone with a larger aquarium (15-25gal) but due to dorm restrictions, I'm limited to 5...
Hello Reefers,
Im a first time reefer but certainly not new to the aquarium lifestyle. I decided to start my journey with an AIO (all in one) Fluval Flex 32.5 Gallon. I have had so many questions about the best way to go about setting up this tank as there are many ways to modify and improve...
Hello Reef2reef, I've recently started the build for my IM 50 Gallon lagoon aio. This is my 1st saltwater aquarium & this site gave me the confidence to actually pursue the challenges that come with keeping & maintaining a slice of the ocean in my room.
I plan on keeping a fowlr system for the...
What's up Reef2reef, I've been lurking for a couple months & Finally got started on my build for a AIO Innovative marine 50 gallon lagoon. Just finished my aquascape & now need advice on what reurn pump to get, along with power heads or wave makers.
My 1st options are the vectra s2...
Hi every one. I'm new to the marine tank experience and I have found myself wishing I would have purchased a much larger AIO. I'm thinking of selling my Waterbox Cube 20 and stand to purchase a bigger Waterbox or some other brand of AIO. If you have had the same thoughts post the AIO you...
Completely new to Reef2reef as of this morning and wanted to see how I could do with documenting my IM 25 Lagoon's progress thus far from build to present and also see what advice or thoughts other reefers might have. I'm a very verbose person...sorry in advance.
For a little background, I've...
Hey folks - so there is a 45 gallon JBJ aquarium up for sale. Right now the guy has freshwater stuff in it. Has anyone had any experience with this rimless tank? (This one does not have a sump in it but it does have that back stuff like you see with Red Sea I believe). So what are thoughts...
Now that I know 100% I cannot install an in wall tank my only choices come down to these two tanks.
I’m getting confused when ordering , do lights come with these tanks? Are these lights actually good?
Waterbox shows a bunch of additional items I need but what about Red Sea? Do I need a sump...
As the title says... let’s see your All in one mixed reefs.
I have just completed a DIY build (see build thread) and am now starting to look into some nice corals to fill the tank (over time, obviously).. I’m really interested in a mixed reef.
G me some inspiration and ideas for corals.
