Hello, I’m hoping for your help I’m about to start my first tank and I wanted to get a gauge on practicality. It’s my first tank and I’m going for relative simplicity, I would love any advice. I’m going to get a 25 gallon peninsula aio. Due to size and other factors I will not be using a sump...

I've got a brand new Waterbox 15 gallon peninsula tank all in one. It's still in the box it was shipped to me in. I just dont have the time to do another tank. I also ordered the mesh lid. With shipping and tax I paid almost $350. I will let it go for $225.00. If you need pictures thats fine...

Finally getting around to selling my old setup. Tank is an Innovative Marine SR-80 Pro 2. It was set up for about 2 1/2 years before I upgrade to the SR-120. No leaks while I had it running and seals are in good shape. There is one small scratch on the front pane and some on the black acrylic...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for thoughts on what to put in each of the three filter chambers for my WB 25 Peninsula AIO tank. I have been testing weekly and I am not controlling nitrates well. To keep nitrates low, I have to do multiple water changes a week right now. Currently, I just...

Hello! So many places referenced R2R as an amazing resource, so I decided to join and document my journey with my first saltwater tank! I have two successful small freshwater planted aquariums and I'm looking forward to seeing what new challenges this will bring. I first set up this tank on...

Would you always go for a predrilled tank? Or prefer the standard? What reason? The standard version plus a hob overflow cost nearly the same as this seapora drilled.

Not new to reefing but new to an AIO. I had a 180g w a sump but have since downsized to IM 25g lagoon and am having lots of trouble. I started w a sicce synced silent 1.0 pump and it seemed like it was pushing water faster than it can drain. I have since downsized to the same pump just the .5...

My biocube 32 just turned 1 year old today! What a fun event. So many times over the last year I was not sure we would get here! From hair algae that took over and refused to die to the aptasia and bubble algae that still pop up every so often to the death of my beloved Georgie the clownfish...

Hello all, I just setup a small 12 gallon AIO that I am going to use to keep and grow out frags and small corals. I am planning to keep some live sand as well as a little rumble of live rock on the sand and then 4 frag racks on the stand covering above the sand. My question is would it be ok and...

Total noob question here: are the AIO and display sections of a tank supposed to maintain roughly the same water level? I’m setting up an IM SR-80. After we installed the ATO, the display section water level jumped up way too high (almost half an inch from the top) while the back remained a...

Hello Reefers! I finally took the leap into saltwater and I’ll be honest I’m a bit intimidated to get going. My local LFS was able to help break a deal with me to get up and running. I will be keeping the aquarium in my daughter’s room as she has been really digging fish and she loves Finding...

Finally found where to start this. instead of filling up the skip cycle thread. Gonna dump all of my decent photos here and use this for updates :) Eventually I see this tank becoming an anemone only tank in a few years but I don't have room for any more tanks atm so this is it (Yes it is...

SOLD I'm moving in a month and need to sell my tank setup. I had a mixed reef tank for a little over two years, and the tank served me incredibly well during it. I have a Red Sea Max Nano AIO (20g) plus its black cabinet stand for sale for $350. Here is all you get for that price: Tank, which...

At the moment, I have a FijiCube 32 AIO aquarium with mechanical/media filters in both chambers "A" and "B". There will be 1 chamber for the media basket, the other for chaetos. So, to which chamber, "A" or "B", the chaetos should be placed? And the reasons? Thank you for the replies!

Looking for a lightly used Tunze 9004 DC skimmer. Doesnt need to have the controller. Thanks!
