Hello, it’s been a little while since I made a post. And my tank has had stable parameters. So I’m looking into getting some corals soon (GSP to be specific). But I was looking at pictures of other reef tanks and I noticed how they used multiple small rocks instead of a few big rocks (Which is...

Hi all, My tank is 2ft deep with around 125-140PAR at the sandbed; I have a couple spots I'm looking at. I'm looking for suggestions for corals than would do well down there. I'll most likely put them on a little standalone liverock "island". The flow is pretty high in one location and...

I was hoping to get some help with my tank. I have a 75L Red Sea Max nano tank, has been running for the last 10 months or so. We used to struggle with brown algae/diatoms or SOMETHING that covered the tank walls and sand bed and created a film over the rocks, but 3 months ago was able to fix...

So I have my hammers and candy cane that I feel aren’t in the best spots based on the light and flow in those areas. I wondered where the best placement would be. I attached some pictures of my aquarium and scape.

Hello, first of all, sorry for the low quality of pictures. If anyone has any idea what this may be (algae, Dino’s, cyano?).

Hey everyone, So I started out in the reef hobby very careless as I wasn’t too sure if I’d enjoy it and I tried to do this on a budget. Fast forward 8 months in, I never quarantined anything, fish or corals. I had a ich breakout and I really enjoy the hobby so I want to do it right this time...
