first time

I hunted around the hitchhiker and critter I.D. forums for a while now and haven’t seen anything like this, if it’s there and I missed it I apologize. I turned off the blue light for this picture, critter in question is to the right of the little gsp clump. Antler looking thing started from...

Are mushrooms a good tolerant coral for starters??

Hey! So I got into saltwater a little over a month ago and I got the fluval evo. I love the size and look of the tank and it’s the perfect size for me as it fits on my nightstand. As I did more and more research I learned it’s much easier to have a higher water volume so I considered adding a...

Hello all, If you want to just give help on pricing start at SWAP PRICING. If you want more context, keep reading. I am trying for the first time to sell coral at my local frag swap. It is LEAR in Cleveland. I am trying to figure out how to do this effectively and the proper pricing. If you...

Valuable lessons often come at high prices. Unfortunately, today was one such day... Today, I leaned a Blue Spot Jawfish will indeed jump out of a 1.5” x 1.5” square section of an uncovered QT tank top. I should’ve known better after I saw the Flamehawk awhile back, in the pictured corner...

Good morning all. Wanted to post my progress so far on my first reef aquarium. I've kept numerous planted tanks in the past. This has always been my dream, and as we are limited in space I am keeping a small AIO in my home office. I just want some softies and LPS corals in here with a few...

Hello all and thanks for the warm welcome I've already received. I'm an avid aquarist with 5 freshwater tanks and I've finally worked up my nerve to dive into saltwater (see what I did there? Today I set up my Fluval Evo 13.5 - see pic below. I used 13-14 lbs of Carib Sea Life Rock and 10 lbs...

Hey guys, how is it going? This is my first time at reef2reef, and my first attempt at a saltwater tank. I've had a freshwater tank with goldfish for about a year now, and decided to take the leap and start a saltwater tank as well. So what I'm paling to have is a 20 Gallon tank with 2 clownfish...

I figured that I should finally put my tank on here. This is a Boyu Nano tank. 128L with a custom hood and a Corona Rapid LED light. I've tried mechanical filters but I've switched to an ATS. I currently have a Black Sailfin Blenny and a Sailfin Tang. I've tried a variety of corals, but the...
