build

Added a large rock on top as I could not remove my new anemones. Came together nicer than I thought it would and created the cave I’ve been looking for. Missing some on the left side to look more natural but let me know what y’all think and how I could make it better!!

Hello everyone, I am making this post to show off my new waterbox105.4 build. The tank was just delivered today, however I am moving to a new house soon so all equipment is going to sit and wait. I will be posting the journey of this tank on my instagram (Butcherreef) and on here. If you have...

Non-Photosynthetic (NPS) Corals have the some of the craziest colors and shapes you'll see naturally in corals. Our NPS Tank at the Seattle Aquarium we've dubbed as the "Dr. Seuss Tank" due to all the colors and shapes, also because that's what a lot of guests refer it to as. So I'm taking that...

I just bought a 150gal saltwater build second hand the other day. I will add pictures soon I have to give it an extra good clean to make it pretty. it’s in great condition and you can tell he took great care of it. He had an anemone die and didn’t catch it in time. It killed off the entire tank...

Hi all! So I have a 125 long LPS dominated mixed reef that I run on a pretty tight budget. I slowly add corals and upgrade equipment over time and it has been up and running for about a year and a half now. Everything is doing well in the tank, most of the corals are growing, albeit slowly in...

Hi all, Back when I was in grad school I had a 55 gallon reef tank that I cobbled together with extremely limited funds. After many years out of the hobby I’m back! My girlfriend gifted me a 32 gallon Biocube which I’m hoping to start up soon. For now I’m planning on keeping the included hood...

I think I’ve decided to label this project my “small but mighty” reef tank. Thank you so much for the support thus far everyone. I can’t wait to share with you all this build as we go along. This post will be updated with page tags when possible. Happy reefing everyone -AHD 2.22.2023 - Bored at...

Started off about 2 years ago with an old 75 gallon tank I picked up at a garage sale with an old busted-up MDF stand. I redid the facade of the stand to cedar and added in 2x4 supports where I thought the stand would sag. Honestly I took it on as more of a woodworking project than an actual...

Hello and merry christmas! I wanted to share my project over the last few days. No one in my personal life cares about it so I was hoping I could show off my hardwork to some people that might appreciate it. Haha. About 6 years ago I decided to add a tank to an old exterior window before the...

This Red Sea reefer portion of this newly combined setup has been running for a little less than a year (probably more like 8/9 months if I was to guess I have to check that time and update that later) I had all of these pics here ready to go so I figured I’d go ahead and get this thread...

Hi all! I’m getting back into the hobby! Even though the 13.5 is an AIO, I wanted to add a sump for additional water volume and filtration. I had a couple of 10 gallons hanging around so I set one up with an Amazon sump baffle kit. I looked into all kinds of over-glass U-shaped siphon designs...

Intro: I've been away from reefing for a decade. With the fast pace of life, I have missed the patience and focus that this hobby required for success. I'm excited to get connected back into it. I have never done a build thread, but felt it would be a good practice to record the activity for...

Here is the tank that i Will build And here is how it looked before the crash

Hey everyone! Been a long time fan of the rabbit holes of information on Reef2reef and figured this build deserved some proper documentation to hopefully one day become my very own rabbit hole! The Backstory: I've been keeping aquariums as far back as I can remember. Freshwater planted tanks...

So let me get this started by introducing myself. My username is homage to my 2 crazy kids 4 and 8, they sure do always keep me on my feet. I am a long time freshwater keeper, my last tank being a 90g planted with C02. I have some close friends in the hobby who finally pushed me to take the...

Hello Reef2Reefers , I am starting this thread to show you my new build at my new reef shop located in Amman Jordan. I shut down my old 180 gallon tank , and relocated from Saudi Arabia to Jordan. In this link you can see full information about my old tank...

Month 1: June 2022 At the beginning of June I picked up a used Biocube 29g. It had been setting in the guys garage with a couple inches of water for a while and was looking pretty rough. The first couple of weeks involved citric acid, bleach, and a lot of scrubbing. The rocks were bleached...

Started off with months of research. Came to a conclusion that I wanted a 90 gallon tank with eventually having a mixed Reef and a very specific set of livestock that has of course changed over the course of setting up the tank. I went in knowing NOTHING except that I knew I wanted to be a...

We used to keep a 180l custom cube tank and three Nano tanks in the UK. One as a mixed reef, one as a seahorse tank and one with an awesome longhorn cowfish called Frank (he was awesome!)... 12 years later have moved to Australia and haven't tried to keep any fish since then. So one boring...
