Hey all! I am a new reefer and member of this forum from Canada!
I started the hobby with a Fluval 32.5g tank, but after a month in I decided to upgrade to a Red Sea Reefer 250.
With a new tank comes a new build thread, and here it is!

Anyone have experience with Fauna Marin Pro sea salt? I'm looking to switch from RSCP to a lower Alk mix.
Debating between Fauna marin, Aquaforest probiotic, and RS blue bucket
Thanks!
I have been in the hobby for about one year thanks to fluval nano 10g tank for newbies
with success ( to my likings and my small test kits) I decided to go big or go home and I have the set up

For sale 30 kgs of AF Aquaforest Rock taken out of my tank. As you can see it is really nice and different shapes as opposed to normal reef rock.
Bottom of pieces is flat for good appearance on your sand or bare bottom tank.
Selling because of tank tear down.
NOTE: This is for pick up only...
Hi everyone, I'm sure this has been answered numerous times but I can't find a comparison thread with these 2 specific tests.
Hanna is out of my price range before you ask ;)
I see that a lot of people get zero readings on their Salifert kits, hopefully that means their actual levels are close...
Hello Everyone! ;Happy
I can't believe I finally have a chance to begin a fresh build thread for our latest reef project. This year started just crazy and affected all our projects for this cycle, but we are working to adjust to the #newnormal and progress. Finally, we are ready to share with...
I don't like all of the plastic that comes with the Aquaforest Balling kits and my wife has been pushing our household to use less plastic container so i want to start mixing my own using the original Tropic Marin powders. Technically they should both be the same chemicals, so do i need a...
Hello,
I want to know how to dose The Dry calcium from AF (make my own water to be dosed)
I saw on youtube on the balling method, that you should add 50 grams of Dry Calcium to 1 liter with RODI water.
They dont mention how much ml you should dose to a certain Tank size, and how much will...
Bent the knee again guys!!!... This time I truly hope to keep it simple, yet, it is proven how challenging dealing with such small amounts of water can be.
So here it goes :)

Hi all, Had an amazing experience visiting Aquaforest in Poland last month.
Just wanted to share some photos of my trip there. The facility is about 45 minutes away from Krakow by car.

The tank is really huge. Pictures don't do it justice because...
My name is Spike. This is the story of reef keeping with a jet setter lifestyle.
EPISODE I: The story begins with keeping a reef while traveling heavily, and leaning on an enthusiastic partner and plenty of technology to ensure operation while I'm away three days every week.

Hello R2R!
I perform 1.25 gallon water changes daily and want to switch from IO to Auaforest Reef Salt. My question is, can I mix the salt in the RODI station and allow it to sit for a week or so by the tank in my reservoir, awaiting water changes? I know that the Aquaforest Probiotic Salt...

I think my tank suffered from lack of nitrates. I was dealing with some GHA and always testing zero for NO3 and PO4. I think my nitrates were actually too low, but the phosphates were used by the GHA. A few weeks back I dosed a few capfuls of Seachem flourish nitrogen over a few days, but then I...
Hi all,
So I am properly sick of not being able to purchase Triton additives because they are always out of stock and having two sets of milk jugs leak in the boxes when I receive them is not making me very loyal at this point. I currently do not follow the "triton" method but us their...
I just wanted topost this quick video I pre-ordered the GHL Maxi during the all the Black Friday sales. I Had my eye on a DOS for a very long time, but couldn't get over the shape of the DOS. I may be unique in that regard, but i had purchased 2 DOS units and two DDR's and sent them back. I...

I wanted to try something different than Reef Crystals for a new build. I chose the Aquaforest Probiotic Reef salt based on generally positive reviews on BRS.
When mixed according to on the box instruction, the end result was somewhat cloudy. I continued to mix with no change in results over...
