aio build

To give a little back story. A few months ago I decided I wanted to get into saltwater, and specifically keeping a reef! I’ve had a few freshwater tanks running over the last year, and grew up with a sizable pond at home. Keeping fish wasn’t new, but saltwater certainly is! I was watching a...

Hey all! Been meaning to start a thread on here but got busy with life. Anyway, I had an IM10 SPS tank in highschool and sold everything (idiot move) when I moved to Colorado for college, thinking that I wouldn't set up another tank until I had my own House. That lasted for about 3 years and...

I'm DIYing a AIO for a tank and I dry fit the acrylic sheets yesterday. My question is, in the middle between the two baffles I plan on using cheato, I have seen other people AIOs have an additional baffle where the red line is drawn of the picture attached. I assumed that was for catching...

I introduced myself and my hubby at the beginning of 2022, but never started a build thread. I'm usually on my phone when I come to R2R and I was not about to try to write this on the phone. If you want to get straight to tank stuff, skip the next 3 paragraphs of back story. The title? Maybe a...

Nearly four years ago we had a plumbing accident here at home, and, because there was no longer space to house my 55 gallon reef aquarium (8 years old)... ... I gave the inhabitants to an lfs and we broke down the tank. I had elevenish years of reefkeeping experience, and thought either I...

Setting up the tank this Sunday and have made a few scapes, there’s about 8 pounds of rock here and the tank is 15, any suggestions or recommendations on which scale to use or how to improve, also I was wondering if using just a small piece of live rock can seed the tank because it’s really...

Recently I picked up a new tank from @Tenecor Aquariums. It started as a means to replace/upgrade another AIO I have (AquaTop BFT-13). The hassle of keeping the 'sump' clean on that tank is a pain, and I'm limited on space/growth potential in that tank. This is where the Tenecor Peninsula| 17...

I have had a 40 gallon freshwater that I just recently upgraded to a 45gallon, but have always wanted a saltwater tank. About six months ago we finally decided that if I can keep plants/fish alive in a freshwater tank how hard can saltwater be? That answer is - Kinda hard, but also super...

Anyone have any recommendations for an ATO for the IM Nuvo 30L gallon? The Tunze brand keeps coming up but I'm not about requiring the "most expensive" or top of the line. I just need one that works well.:) Thanks!

I just set up an Aquatop 40 and I’m having a hard time with the water level in the display and the chambers in back. I replaced the stock pump with a sicce 1.5 and I’m wondering if it is pushing too much water and is not able to flow through the back chambers fast enough. The level in the...

Hey everyone, I'm going to start a super shallow (6 inches tall) frag tank (the 6x18x18 by advanced acrylics) for my mushrooms but I've got a question or two. My plan is to transfer most if not all of my mushrooms into this tank and have it as a place for new frags. Right now, they are in my...
