    Aquascape Poll!

    Hey Reefers! I am reconstructing my aquascape & hoping for your opinion on what direction to head in. For context, this is a 13.5g nano. I intend to keep a mixed reef with a couple fish. Space for coral is the priority for me, but also aesthetics. Keep in mind, scape 1 was my completed...

    Galexea placement

    Hey all! New to reefing and just getting into corals! I have a new sonic the hedgehog galexea and I'm wondering if it's too close to my gsp. It's still on a frag plug so I'm definitely able to move it. It's on an island alone but I'm still thinking eventually it's going to sting the gsp...

    Non-reef rock in reef tank?

    Not sure if anyone has tried this, or knows the answer. I've posted questions on the products on BRS's website without response unfortunately. Has anyone put non "reef rock" in a reef tank? Is it safe? Are there ones that are safe and ones that aren't? I'm thinking about redoing the...

    How I scaped my reef tank using mostly branch rock

    One of my favorite parts of reef keeping is building the scape. I like to use as much negative space as possible when I create reefs. Branching rock helps attain that look much easier. Creating an NSA (negative space aquascape) is easy using fast setting glue such as Glue Master’s cyanoacrylate...

    Should I bleach cure live rock that's had no load for 2 months?

    I recently purchased a second-hand 260g reef with a few fish, coral and live rock. During the move, the tank developed a leak. The tank is now resealed and curing, but it's been a long process and the fish and coral died within a few days after the move. I spent a whole weekend scrubbing hair...

    How to cure live rock that is now dry?

    I got a large amount of live rock over a year ago. Only some of it went into my tank cause I suck at aquascaping and I already had my tank running with fish and a small amount of live rock for over a year which makes it difficult to move stuff around. I ended up putting the rest into buckets and...

    Aquascaping done,?

    Finally got the aquascape done, or almost done. It's not how I envisioned it but it's what the rock I had allowed me to accomplish without breaking some apart. I did get several nice caves, plenty of hiding spaces, and some swim throughs. There's 200# of ARC base rock and 30# of Gulf rock...

    Honest opinion on my first aquascape?

    I went with AF Rock -- very heavy on plates and shelves. This is good for my shallow 5ft 100G tank. Except for the two bases, All the other rocks are suspended (i.e. overhangs and the like). Looking for honest, constructive, non-hurtful criticism, and opinions. Is this supposedly minimalistic?
