I am a 28 year old paramedic. I have about 10 years on the job. I have a difficult time with coping with my daily stresses and finally jumped into the hobby of marine fish & reef keeping. I have had freshwater tanks in the past, intermittently. Since day 1; I have found that building my tank &...

Hey there everyone! So, I just got into the hobby and have been going since September 28th. I just wanted to introduce myself and get some advice as I progress through this journey. I currently have a 75 gallon Marineland Ensemble I picked up from petsmart without knowing anything, thinking I...

Hello and thanks for checking out my build thread! I'm super excited to be getting back into reefing! About two years ago i had to sell out my 180 build to go off to college, but now i think i'm at a point where i can start getting my feet wet again.... literally. I had been thinking about...

I have cycled my Lifeguard 14.26 Peninsula. I am now in the process of building my Waterbox X60.2. All I need is one more Prime 16HD , one 3D REEFING shade/diffuser, 2 Nero power heads, and skimmer. I have everything else.

Hello reefers, my daughter and grandchildren really enjoy my tank while visiting. They've decided they want to start a tank of their own. We started out considering smaller cubes with a simple hang on back skimmer and basic marine light. My son-in-law chimed in he had always wanted a...

Just upgraded my 10G nano tank from my first build thread tank to a 25G Innovative Marine Lagoon tank yesterday and now it’s two-days old :) Radion XR30 G6 at AB+ at 30% max for 9hrs and 1.5H ramp up and down. Dosing daily All-for-Reef, Brightwell CoralAmino, Red Sea AB+, Red Sea Trace Colors...

My first saltwater tank, 7g UNS AIO tank. After creeping around the forums and watching Lord knows how many youtube videos, I decided to pull the trigger. I didn't have space for a bigger tank so I decided to go Nano. Any opinions, thoughts, words of advice, as well as suggestions for types of...

Hi everyone! I’m starting a project for my adorable captive bred seahorse herd. I found an amazing 150 gal 36” cube on offer up for $200! It had a stand but it was way too tall for me (5’1” person here), so I decided to build my own! I made it so the stand had a 1” lip on 3 of the 4 sides. The...

Hey! my name is Anthony. I previously had a build thread on my old Red Sea nano. It ran for two years before I wanted to upgrade. I decided to start a new build thread on my upgrade. The upgrade details: fijicube 76g rimless tank with exterior overflow system. The tank dimensions are...

Hey everyone! My name is Andrew and I love to use R2R for the wealth of knowledge and felt it was time to actually become active in the community! Last weekend I found a used Redsea Reefer 350 with what seemed to be a full neptune system along with two Radion xr15 G5 Blue at the LFS. Digging...

I have a mandatory science fair project coming around and don't really want to do the same one that I am not very interested in for the thousandth time. So, I was thinking of doing "how does an Nem grow faster under the same conditions as another one but with a clown fish" I would do that to...

Hello! Thanks for checking out my build! My Nuvo 10g Mixed reef has been set up and running for about a month and one week, This tank was upgraded from a Fluval Evo 5 that had been running for a year. Im still new to the reefing community but would love to share my experiences and those to come...

What's good Reef2Reef, my name is Wayne as you can tell. I'm a retired Disabled Veteran and do contract work for the Army. I got into this in 2015 when I left Active Duty and thought it would help with my PTSD. When I was stationed in Hawaii I Loved Snorkeling and since my 1st time I fell in...
