Stumbled over the Jebao/Jecod return pumps, like the DEP-5000 or the MDP-5000. They seem to be substantially cheaper than similar return pumps from e.g. Aquabee, Abyzz, Tunze etc. My question now is if this is a pay now or pay later situation and I would be very grateful if some Jebao/Jecod...

I’m currently running an eshopps S-120 on my 130g system with a 90g display tank with what I would call a moderate to heavy bioload. A LFS near me has a barely used reef octopus 110SSS space saving skimmer for sale. The rating online says 60gal heavy bioload, 90 medium, 130 light. I would go...

After searching through different databases, I found out the name of the mystery anemone, which I had in my tank for 2 years. So far, from my experience, it benefits more from feeding than light exposure. Care level: (hardy, although I'd say not good for beginners) Temperature- kept around 78...

Hello Reefers! Long time visitor of the form, now taking the time to ask the question. So I am relatively new to the marine aquarium stuff (7mths in). I have watched far too much videos on everything reef related! I have a nano cube tank (75L or 20g). Mixed reef, 2 x clowns, 1 x goby, 1 x...

Hi all! My lfs has some juvenile engineer gobies and I did some reading and would like to get a pair of them. I wanted to see how some of y’all experience these fish, are you happy with them or did you wish you never got them. I have most of my rocks sitting on the glass so I’m afraid that they...

Red stingrays at the Lotte World Aquarium. Has anyone had any experience caring for the Red stingray (Hemitrygon akajei)? All I have heard about their specific requirements is that they prefer temperatures between 15 °C and 25 °C (though I would imagine their care is similar to that of the...

Interested in hearing about any lessons your current/previous aquascapes have taught you, or what you would change if you could go back in time! I’ll start— My 40g is my second tank and first true aquascaping attempt (pile of live rock in first build). With this scape, I grossly...

;Pompus;Pompus;Pompus;Pompus;Pompus I have always wanted a saltwater tank but just never committed I guess. They are stunning!!! Well now I am ready but I think I need to hear the good and the bad. Don't get me wrong I am so ready to do this - no matter how much work it is. I have no...

I am debating buying a venturi skimmer where the venturi is located after pump. Like life reef skimmer and so. My only concern is the noise level. I saw some comments saying its loud noise and some says its not. Whats your experiences with the noise level. This aquarium is right beside the...

Our time in the hobby gives us personal experiences to learn from , good or bad. But without other reef keepers knowledge and experiences, there wouldn’t be anything to compare to. We all learn and grow in this hobby, alone, together or both. But what’s more important to you, right now? Of the...

Just curious to know who long people have been able to get flame scallops to live in their tanks. I currently have a red flame and an electric red flame scallop that has been in the tank for a year now. I was told to only expect them to live 6 months or less.
