When we think of barracuda's we often think of the Great Barracuda which reach around 5 feet and are absolutely not suitable for a home aquarium. But there are other species of barracuda like the yellowtail barracuda (Sphyraena flavicauda) which reaches a max of 24 inches and on average 14-16...
Hey! Anybody know what’s happening and why all these fish stay in the corner. So before the clown was on the other side of the tank no he’s migrated to where these catfish (not sure exactly what they are). Those two always stay in the corner and never swim around in the tank the clown hangs out...
I purchased a Black Indian Trigger about 2 months ago. He was at my LFS for a few months, I finally broke down and got him. Currently he’s in a 75 with a Maroon clown. Live rock tank with lots of Macro Algae and a couple coral.
I know a 75 is too small. The trigger is about 4” and from what...
I recently acquired a 5-6in Princess Parrotfish and despite efforts to learn more from looking them up online, I haven’t found much information on them.
To those that OWN THEM NOW OR HAVE OWNED THEM, what have your experiences been like? Good, bad, and in-between please.
I was told their diet...
Just curious...
Would a Valentini puffer be suitable in a 20-gallon long tank with a clownfish and gramma?
Maybe a dumb question, but I've read that some have had success keeping these guys in 20 gallons.
Thank you!
This is her now
The day I got her
6-7 “ Raccoon Butterfly Fish
I enlisted her to help me get rid of my majano anemone infestation. I’ve had her for 7 weeks and my 600+ majano problem is pretty much totally gone.
I have never had this fish in my main display, so I am not sure how it would be...
Guys I finally got the first edition! The tank is 13 weeks old, full of copepods and I finally took the plunge with a Firefish! I’ve been waiting for the perfect one as I’m aware I’m limited on options and I think it’s so pretty!
Would like to add 3 sexy shrimp in a couple weeks but any ideas...
Hello,
I have a 300 gallon FOWLR. It has baby horn shark (it’ll be moved to a 500 gallon in a year or 2), a 5 inch miniatus grouper, a Niger trigger, a powder brown tang, a blue ribbon eel, a clown that came with the tank who holds his own well, and a 4 inch hi fin snapper. Everyone’s been...
I’m getting a 180 (72 by 24 by 24) around Christmas, and I’ve come up with the stocking that I want for it.
I’m getting a sump around 50-60 gallons, and I already got a large aquamaxx skimmer
I already have a few tanks, and plan to add most of the fish I have to it
Fish that must go in...
Hey all
I’m new to saltwater and my friend has moved away so we had his tank and his live rock (around 4kg plus some ocean rock). Everything seems to be going smoothly minus bits on the surface? I’m worried that my water is not getting enough oxygen. Ph is 7.8, Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate all...

Hello all! I wanted input on my stock list for fish for my 100 G tank.
Details: 100 G tank (quarter circle, think Hershey kiss shaped), 30 gallon sump. FOWLR. This was an established tank we bought and it came with some fish (a few passed from disease and we rehomed some as we didn’t have...
When you have a FOWLR tank I feel like the aesthetics of the aquascape are really important because corals wont be able to cover and add the extra ~spice~ to the structures
I am looking for inspo for a new 4ft tank. I don't want something that looks crowded and may eventually add some softies...
Thinking of adding a few supermale wrasses (Madagascar Flasher) together into a 300g FOWLR at the same time. I know typically I would add a M/F pair together, but thoughts of adding say 3 or 4 males together simultaneously in this size tank?
Thanks!
yes I agree to terms and conditions
I have a brand new never used
3" High Output Standard Pro-Max UV Sterilizer (25 Watts) - Lifegard

I really wish I could...
New to the r2r community and hobby. Grappling confusion with all the acronyms, equipments needed, and pvc? (Never have I). However excited to start my first fowlr tank and a quick learner maybe.
Have this so far after 4 to 5 weeks

Hello Everyone,
I’m in the final stages of a custom 240gal FOWLR build and am trying to narrow down the stocking with the family. It’s been over 20years since I last had a tank (technically my father’s when I was growing up) and am having difficulty determining what sources to trust regarding...
Hello,
I finally have some time to put together a build thread on this tank! My goal is a FOWLR build but who knows where that'll take me. I was in the middle of a 40 breeder build when my wife found a Prostar 90 that was super cheap. I picked it up for 1/3 of the price off a guy who bought it...
My wife and I got into the hobby in January. We each have reef tanks, hers a Red Sea reefer 350 g2. Mine in an IM 10g in my home office. We are looking to do a large fowlr and from what I have pieced together, there are some differences. My main concern is getting everything I will need so...
Been in the planning stages for months, lurking here, and gathering equipment for my 120 gallon build. Finally got everything together and started cycling the tank about a week ago. No livestock in the tank yet as I don’t want to rush anything (have before and learned from my mistakes) but...
Hi All,
New to saltwater but have several fresh tanks at the moment.
I have a 250 Litre tank and will run this with a sump (socks, pro skimmer, media, return (size TBC)) and have a question regarding whether to have OR not have an overflow box. The tank would need to be drilled either way, and...
Recent events have me decide it best for me to treat my FOWLR display tank. I've just about moved all the inverts into a separate tank to go fallow.
I plan on using Copper Power. For full coverage, would I be able to do Kanaplex or Ruby Rally at the same time? I also have Prazi but I don't...
90.3 Waterbox FOWLR is on the launch pad. Though the launch pad has a water-stain on its door (irony!) so we're waiting for a replacement door before setting it up. It's been several weeks since the original order, so what's a few more...days. Door heights will be evened out when the new front...
Hi everyone!
I'm currently a student at Northampton Community College in Bethlehem, PA and I wanted to reach out on behalf of my Mom who is the Director of Education at Northampton Community College. Ever since getting a saltwater tank almost a year ago my Mom has expressed interest in getting a...
