hello

Newcomer that is getting into the hobby, planning on getting a medium sized fish tank soon after researching requirements for species I want to own. As my username implies, I love morays, with my favorite genuses being echidna and gymnothorax. Hello R2R community! 👋

Hello R2R community! I am looking forward to R2R and your help also! I have recently downsized from a Fluval Flex 32.5 g to an IM 20 g and IM 10 g. For the past year, the Fluval Flex has been neglected and didn't have a good routine cleaning schedule due to recent life events and a 4-week...

I'm just getting started on the reef side of the hobby. I know electronics and chemistry, but am still shockingly new on the reef side. I joined the forum a couple of days ago to deal with a situation where a freshly arrived zebra moray eel was suffering badly from shipping stress, and have...

Hey everyone! I just started my first ever tank after doing my research for the past couple months. I have no experience at all with taking care of aquatics but definitely looking forward to it! I have a couple friends who are into the hobby and they have been help guide me as much as they can...

Hello and congrats to everyone in the US that survived another Thanks Giving. My name is Adam, I live in southern MN USA. I've been thinking about starting a reef tank (focus on invertebrates over fish). I do not yet have a tank, and this will be my first salt water tank. First any tank really...

Hi. Returning back to the hobby after few years. Doing a nano tank this time. They are so cute. Have a pair of clowns. I luv clowns! Probably just do a yellow goby and a pistol shrimp. The rest will be CORALS!

Hey, Ive been on and off over the years with freshwater and recently over the past year got back into the hobby with a 25g cube freshwater setup. After checking FB marketplace for a used tank for a new project I came across a 75g cycled saltwater tank with some fish and decided to get it since...

Hey everybody! I recently became fascinated with coral and have officially caught the bug. I have dedicated almost all my free-time, these last few weeks, to researching as much as I can about everything reef keeping. I ordered a Waterbox 35.2 Plus AIO and Osmolator 3 ATO during their July 4th...

Hi Reefers My names Rory aka Toast I've been browsing R2R for a few years now but I'm going to be starting my first Nano soon (40 gal display with 8 gal sump) and will probly log my process as it comes along. I've been beefing for about 2 years now with Pico tanks my current setup is a Nuvo 8...

"Imagine a society where every act of kindness is a coral, each unique and vibrant, coming together to build an intricate reef of connection—each life intertwined, creating a resilient, radiant ecosystem of hope." My love for reef keeping draws a parallel between the delicate balance of...

Hello! A quick introduction. I’m returning to the hobby after a ten-year hiatus—grad school sucks. But, now that I’m settled with a house and a job, I can’t wait to learn about all the new tech and techniques that I’ve missed during my absence. I used to work at an LFS and had a 90g mixed...

Hey there! I'm new to the forum. I had a 45 gallon rimless salt water reef a few years back. Custom overflow, drilled 45 gallon rimless, custom plumbing, a budget friendly DIY project. Loved it then moved and sold to an aspiring reefer entering the hobby. Looking forward to getting back into the...

New here, needed a nice community where I won’t be judged, Reddit really has some haters on there and always trying to put you down it’s weird. Hoping to learn a lot from all of you!

My first attempt at a reef. Overall pleased with the result so far after a year and some change. It’s funny how my taste in corals and visual lighting have changed so much since I started. I would love to change some things, but honestly just going to leave it as is and let it do its thing. If...

I've been in the hobby for quite some time now since I was roughly 10, however I have lately been really getting into it after being hired at a LFS in the area. Right now i've got a few tanks including a 55 freshwater, though this is a saltwater fourm so I should probably detail my saltwater...

Have just started posting on the thread after years of inactive participation and lurking lol. I'm a PA based reefer getting back into the hobby after several years away. My previous endeavors were in the nano size, and my current project is a 60 gallon shallow. Feel free the check out my...

Hello everyone Only 2+ years with salt water. Stared with 49l nano, next migrated 200l from Cichlids without sump etc and 2 month ago migrated to new setup. Current setup: REEFER G2+ XL-425 x1 ReefWave 45 Maxspect JUMP MJ-DC8K ReefMat 500 x2 ReefLED 90

This is my first reef tank (75 gallon + 30 gallon sump) that I purchased in July '23, I'm from the Chicagoland area in Illinois. I have kept freshwater before and also have a large koi pond! So far I love saltwater and my tank is stocked with: 2 clowns Blue Hippo Yellow Wrasse Mandarin Goby Ruby...

I have completed all of the steps, good luck everyone!!

I'm very late to this type of thread... my account has been up for a few months now but I might as well do it! I've been reefing now for 4 years and have struggled with my tank until I joined these forums! My first thread was about my GHA and it never going away. Everybody has been very helpful...

Howdy! I'm in my mid twenties and live in south central Indiana. I started my first saltwater tank back in January of 2022. My current set up is a basic 10 gallon with a YWG and pistol shrimp pair. Then I have a 29 gallon that I have plumbed to a 6 gallon refugium/coral tank that gravity feeds...

Im not *new* per se but realized I never posted a Hello so here I am. I have about 9 years of reefing experience, started with a 10g innovative marine and currently have a resealed Marineland 300g DD. I am a sps guy mostly but I love a mixed reef. In my dreams I dream of a long predator tank.

Hey everybody! This is officially my second post on the R2R forum. I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself, and see if there are any other Louisiana reefers out there. I am currently building a 2 gallon pico reef in a jar. Feel free to check out my build thread and leave some...

Hello! New to the forum and just got my first ‘big’ tank! Ive been running a Fluval Evo Marine (50L) for a few years and just manage to upgrade to a RedSea Reefer 250! Just began my cycle using Red Sea Mature Pro, although not convinced I’m doing it right since my Amonia (0.50ppm), Nitrite...

Hello everyone, I want to buy world wide corals mushrooms, frog spawns, and zoanthids but I have a 13 gallon fluval tank. Can I put these coral in this tank, thank you
