build

Hey all! Wanted to share my current setup and how my livestock is doing. I have a couple euphlyia, a mushroom leather, a mushroom, a zoa colony and a GSP colony. I have around 9lbs of liverock in the tank.For fish, I have a Wisconsin white clown and a snowflake clown. I also have a bicolor...

Hi! I think everyone can use a diversion now and this is a great hobby for it. Like many others, I’ve been a lurker for years and thought it was time I shared my build experience. I started in this hobby about 20 years ago with a 65g. Over the years I upgraded to various tanks when I could...

So after 3 years with my Red Sea 130D AIO I am upgrading... This thread is a bit late as I am well into the first few months with the new tank... Just a quick rundown of equipment ~ (Used) 90G 36X24X24 SCA tank... I'm of course still in an ugly period with diatoms but water is fairly stable...

Hey Everyone! I tried to start a build thread with this as I was working through some things I got caught up in the mix. I wanted to share my build with the community here and also hopefully get some feedback and new ideas as we go. A little background on this tank: I purchased for $50 on FB...

hey everyone, after a few months of leaving my tank empty i've finally had time to start all over again. this outbreak almost made me quit since it all happened so suddenly, friend bought me a surprise fish, an orange shoulder tang, dropped it directly in the tank. everything died in 2 days...

Hey all! Just set up my Fluval Evo last night and I plan on making it a macroalgae tank! For equipment I'm using: -100 Watt Cobalt neotherm heater -Sicce syncra 0.5 pump -stock light For the scape, I figured I would keep the rockwork low and let the algae give it height (let me know what you...

Hello. Thanks for stopping in to check out my build. Forgive me, not everything is here yet but I have been planning for months now and I’m anxious. I was going to do a 20 gallon nano since I found my mom’s old freshwater tank from when I was a child, but my son moved and had two 55 gallon tanks...

Hey, long time member but I never felt I hand anything that I was particularly proud of. I've kept the same Biocube 32 for 9 years with success, but I never was able to do more with it due to the size limitations of the tank. Back in late Jan, I got the go-ahead to upgrade the tank, I still...

New to R2R but the community has been great so far! Figured I would post my (re) build of an old tank I got for a steal a few years ago that has been neglected pre quarantine! Dimensions are 60x26.5x25. I would love to get some feedback and ideas! I wish I would’ve posted a month or so ago...

Hey R2R, I primarily read through my local reef forum. However I wanted to make my build thread here to get a broader range of inputs on what I’m doing. I’ll likely stick to my plans but it’s always good to hear other opinions. I grew up with a reef tank in my house, but never dealt with its...

My build so far. Hope to have everything in the next couple weeks and start my cycle soon after that. Still not sure on my ATO, leaning towards Duetto because of it's small size? If you have any recommendations that are must have's for a new reefer? Was also playing around with my scape...

So build is in quotations because my tank is built and has inhabitants in it. I'll list my setup and creatures. Photos to follow of the process are in no particular order. Also a few coral shots. Setup: 40 breeder Custom coast to coast overflow Bean Animal drain Custom built 30 long sump/fuge...

Hi All, My name is Dan and I am new to Reef@Reef and saltwater, though I do have some freshwater experience. Just picked up a Waterbox 30.2 AIO and it was delivered a couple of days ago. Thought I would start a new build log. The delivery itself was a real smooth process, both the tank and...

Hey everyone! I figured I'd start a build thread for this new tank I just started, seems to be what all the cool kids are doing these days :D. I've been keeping aquariums for around 10 years now, most of which have been freshwater planted tanks. After running a few high tech tanks I decided that...

So, I'm locked in and laid off and i have started a project to remodel my basement. Plans include moving my 150 gallon reef tank to the other end of the basement, and into a new wall and building a shadow box background. I have began construction, and am now at the point where i need advice on...

So, I have been looking for a while to get back into things. About 7-8 years ago, before kids 2 and 3, I had a 29 gallon biocube. Ended up breaking that down. A couple of months ago, I got the "itch" for a bigger tank to go on a long wall that we have in our house (new house for us as of 2...

Hi Guys, With all the spare time I have during the Corona pandemic, I've decided it is finally time to create a build thread for my 75G. Please comment with suggestions! This tank was setup in February of 2017, so it is now well established and has gone through numerous changes since its...

Hi all, Figured I'd start a build thread now that the tank is starting to look decent. Tank is a seapora 65g reef ready. Will get into the gear in a later post, but wanted to share some pictures of the critters. The Bob Marley Zoa needs a little more light, we think, but I dont like handling...

Hello all! I started a new tank build yesterday on a 65 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I’ll update as I go, but here are the pictures so far. So fricken excited!!

New here, just wanted to share my custom build with all of you, i custom built the stand and made it in white acrylic over a sheet of quartz to make sure it was sitting level.this is a downgrade from my previous 65 gallons, i wanted something small built to my taste. The tank is a SCA 45 gallons...

Hi all, Finally putting together a build thread for my first tank! I am starting from Step 0, which is planning and research. So any and all advice on this rough blueprint for my tank is welcome! :) Now is the time for me to be pivoting and flexibly charting my course since I have only made...

Just got the OK to put a reef tank in my office. I have done a 3.7 pico before, but it crashed after a year while I was out of state taking care of my mom in hospice for 6 weeks. This one I wanted to be in my office where I will see it everyday. I will be posting updates and am open to...

Hello R2R peeps. I am returning to the reefing hobby after 15 years or so. I have 3 young girls that love animals and this might be a good learning experience for them. I decided to put a 75g tank in my basement home office that my wife and I share. So the journey begins!! Here is my plan...
