I’ve decided to stop using all mechanical filtration and use just live rock and sand along with 2 wave makers. I will do a water change every week. Is this sustainable? I keep seeing mixed responses. Thanks!

Hey guys, I have a 25-gallon reef tank with a few corals. It has been running for over a year now. I don't like my aquascape. Doesn't give me great options for placing corals. I wanna completely replace the rock that I have with new pieces. They will most likely be dead rock. Non alive rock...

Ok, So we’ve had a 50 gal for around 6 months and we’ve had a few snails in other tanks for close to 8 months. We started seeing baby snails popping up on the glass in our tank over the past few days, But we didn’t think much of it. Our skimmer had also been acting up recently (kind of like what...

Hello Everyone , I did a thread search and couldn’t find the answer to this question specifically for the im nuvo 40 I am new to marine tanks (15 years experience in freshwater off and on) but this is my first saltwater tank. I am setting up this IM Nuvo 40 and I am wondering what I should put...

I just put in a basic manifold from my return pump that connects to a dual chamber reactor Tee'd off from my return line. The first chamber just has some biomedia (porous rocks), and the second has a solid 5 micron carbon block filter (the same filter I have on my well system for my house). My...

Hello, I have had some things floating around in my head recently that I need answers for. So what is the difference in filtration between salt and fresh. Why in freshwater you use these big filters that are packed with biomedia for maximum surface area for beneficial bacteria (maybe K1 or...

So I got an algae problem and it slowly starting to spread faster. We’re thinking adding more filtration will work to compete against it. Like a skimmer, cheato, etc. What’s everyone thoughts on this? Sorry for the picture it hard to get a good picture.

I’m selling my SR Aquaristik Pro Skim 80 protein skimmer. I am the original owner and have had this skimmer for about 10 months. It works great, but is just a bit overkill for my 40 gallon lightly-stocked reef. It’s in perfect condition and has been cleaned with citric acid solution. I’m...
