Hello,
While having had a tank crash in my 10-gallon I want to take the opportunity to upgrade to a new tank.
I have been breaking my head for the following tanks.
Waterbox AIO 35.2 or the Red Sea reefer 170 G2.
The only reason I would go whit the waterbox is just how easy an AIO is.
I once...
Hey all, I'm Jonah, not new to the hobby, but I am new to the reef2reef community.
I'm currently setting up my second reef tank, which is a C-Vue 45 AIO system. The set up is in my living room, so I am aiming for a very clean, simple looking setup with minimal cords, pumps, HOB anything...
I have a new c-vue 45 AIO that I'm cycling, and would like to find a skimmer that will fit in the small space provided in the sump area. I will link a photo of each baffles dimensions. I've seen a lot of people recomend the tunze 9004, and while I know it's a great skimmer I've heard issues with...
First time reefer here and this is my build. I've gone through a bunch of content here on the forums, Reddit, BRStv Youtube, etc. I intend for this to be a "low maintenance" tank while looking very cool at the same time. Let's see if we can pull this off.
Going to focus on keeping the fish...
Hey guys, gonna keep my progress updated here to look back at things!
Build specifications
Tank: Aquatop Recife 24
Modifications:
We added another baffle to the sump area to keep the water level consistent in the media chamber.
I plan to add a better skimmer in that chamber or use it as a...
Hello!
I just got into the hobby. Decided to save some money and build an acrylic
tank.
My tank is 36x24x12 (lwh). I have attached some pics as well. Before I add water and start cycling, I was wondering if anyone has any experience building acrylic tanks. I wanted to know if one brace across...
I’m thinking of ordering this lid. My question is, the gap that allows for cords to pass through on the back next to the “false wall” of the AIO filtration chambers.. is the gap large enough for a fish to get through? My whole motivation for purchasing this lid is to keep my starry blenny from...
I'm starting this build thread a little early. I am moving apartments in late March and am using that opportunity to transfer my Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25 contents to the new lagoon layout. It fit's my desired look far better, allowing for mangroves and more horizontal space for macro algaes...

Hi everyone!
I have been asking a lot of questions here while I have been setting up my first tank and figured I should start a build thread. It may also help me from doing something stupid ;Shamefullyembarrased
For background, my brother has been in the hobby for just under a year and after...
Hopefully this will help some people. This is a video of a tank I put together showing the flow through the tank using the above mentioned equipment. The Jebao Pump is set at W1, Speed 3, Knob turned all the way to slow, using a RFG nozzle off a Coralife S-1000 pump.
Hopefully you can see the...
This is my modified AIO Kent bioreef 94 litre. Running ten months now and things are going great. I add tmc all for reef, ab+ and live 8 species Phyto daily. I also dose iodine, manganese and occasionally magnesium. The fish are fed with a mixture of frozen brine and mysis shrimp and lobster...

Hi, fellow reefers.
I'm stoked to join the forum/community.
I had a 40G Reef (Methode Jaubert) a decade ago... and I'm only getting back to it now after I (managed to ) convince my missus to get a pico tank .
I'm over-excited to get back to this really - Things have changed (myself included)...
The captive bred fish I’m looking at are in the poll. My tank is a 25 gallon AIO and currently has 2 ORA clownfish and an ORA shark nose goby. I’m trying to support captive bred fish and am looking to add 2 more. I Have a small refugium seeded with apex pods and I feed arcti pods daily; so...
Hi all,
I will give some more details to the title.
I recently started my adventure for the first time with saltwater aquaristic, so I have no N years of experience for supporting my claims.
I come from freshwater, and before that terraristic (bearded dragons, newts, frogs etc) and a common...
I've been struggling with high phosphates and currently have a refugium to help reduce my nutrients in general. I recently added BRS GFO to combat the phosphates. Is using it in the media bag fine? Or would it be better to use it in a reactor? If for a reactor, what would be a good reactor for a...
I got permission from my manager to setup a tank in my office. (This was easier than it would be for most considering I bought my 200 Gallon aquarium from him.) The build progressed very nicely from a 5 gallon to a 10 gallon to a 40 gallon NUVO AIO.
The tank will be starting with dry rock...
Hi All,
I have never said hello however I am here for a while and in my own little ways contributed in the forum. I like to do things in a reversed order sometimes ;) Aren’t all IT like that?
So Hello to you all and a special hello to those I never had the opportunity to interact here yet.
I...
Welp… it’s been just about a year since I’ve set up my first reef tank, and like many others, I found myself looking to upsize the tank.
Through this past year, I’ve definitely made plenty of mistakes and certainly felt at times that this maybe wasn’t the hobby for me, but I seriously can’t...
