hello

Hi everyone! I’ve finally joined the marine hobby after so many years of wanting to be part of it. I’ve become obsessed with it and researching stuff constantly. My Fluval flex 123l got filled yesterday by the natural seawater supplier company. They’ll be proving me with water from now on ...

Im new to saltwater tanks. I currently have a 36 gallon and 5 gallon set up. Im excited to grow in this hobby. Heres a video of my watchman goby and pistol shrimp pairing up for the first time in the 5 gal.

Hello, I'm new to this hobby. I've made my way to this thread but I cannot really find anything about W.M.A.R.S. Where is this club located and where to find more info about it? Thank you!

Hello all, my name is Daniela and I've been lurking for a while and wanted to say hi. I'm in Arizona and just got into reefing. I've had fresh water tanks before, and wanted to try my hand at creating a salt water ecosystem. I have been enjoying learning about the ecology / biology / chemistry...

Hello everyone! I am kind of new to the hobby. I had simple SMALL freshwater tanks forever. Mostly Betas. Well, last October, our last Beta died of old age at 4.5 years. He lived his whole life in a 1.5 gallon cheapo PLASTIC tank with no light, no filters, and monthly 100% water changes where...

Back into the R2R community with a new account. It’s been a while. I live in Asheville NC, have two Nano Tanks one new Waterbox Cube 20 and a 3 year old Evo 13.5. Hope everyone is well.

Hello! I am new here, but not new to the hobby. I have had saltwater tanks off and on since the mid 80s. That's only 5 or 6 years ago, right? Lol. I currently have a 125 gallon, mostly predator tank. I have a couple small frags in it. I HAD a really nice 40g reef, until our puppy decided to chew...

Hi All. Here is my intro... First, I'm not a fan of sharks in an aquarium - my name refers to my love of the San Jose Sharks - I had season tickets when they first came into the league. I moved to Colorado over 20 years ago, and live about an hour north of Denver - Avalanche country. I'm a...

Hello Reef 2 Reef Members. I just wanted to introduce myself. Brand new to hobby but feel like I have watched days of YouTube videos and read a lot of blog post on here about starting my aquarium. Starting w/ a 65 gallon / 15 gallon sump. Will try to start my build post today of what I set up so...

So I always been into tanks from as early as I coils remember. My dad had a fresh water 55 growing up. Fast forward to when I was 21, I got me my first own tank, was fresh water. Had a jack dempsey and two Oscars. I never did water checks, even had times when I was young and dumb and would just...

Hey everyone! My name is Tyler. I live in Southern Louisiana, around New Orleans area. I am brand new to the hobby. I never thought it was something I could do, then I watched the How-To Guide from BRS on YouTube, now I have a 50 gallon Innovative Marine display tank in one room, and 10 gallon...

Hey all, really excited to start my account on R2R! I've been reading everyone’s entertaining threads on here for a while, but finally decided to create an account because I have a new project I’d like some help with :)

Hey all! My name is Haley, I'm a professional classical saxophone player currently studying at the university of Alberta! I keep fish for a hobby, and recently started saltwater. I tend to second guess myself, but at the same time I'm a perfectionist. I'm sure I'll be asking plenty of questions...

Hey R2R, Just wanted to make a quick post to introduce myself, and say hi from the Netherlands! I have been a long time lurker on this forum, and have finally decided to get my first reef tank after trying to soak in as much information as I can. I got a 22g ( 2*1.35*1.35 ) to start with...

Hi everyone, I am rescuing two poor clownfish from a not-so-responsible LFS. Both appeared to have part of their tails bitten off (or is it a disease?) and were neglected in a corner. They are now in my bare, 5G, all-in-one tank. Tried my best to keep PH, KH, NO3, NO4, salinity in check. This...

Hi, I found this site when looking for places to get help with reef-pi. I'm actually using reef-pi for my outdoor pond, so I may be blaspheming by being a member here. Is that a thing? A pond is certainly not a reef, but it is a mini-ecosystem of its own. Plus, it keeps the mosquitos at bay! The...

Hi Everyone, I have had saltwater aquariums for the past 15 years and kept everything from seahorses (in a FOWLR setup) to reef-keeping. I currently have a 46 gallon bowfront reef tank that has been running for the past 8 years. I recently purchased a 180 gallon bowfront (74x24x24) that I will...

Hello all!! I'm Lindsay, and a newb to the saltwater community. We have 3 freshwater systems, but I've learned Saltwater is a TOTALLY different ballgame! I started out in July with 2 marine hermits that my daughters found while we were vacationing in Pensacola. Being the animal lover we all are...

I’m just getting back into reefing. I joined reef 2 reef a couple of moths ago but really haven’t been active and have noticed I never posted a thread here lol. I’m 43 years old and live in Texas. I’m one of those dang Yankees the south joke about haha. Either way I love it down here and this...

Hello everyone! I finally decided to rejoin the hobby! I’m a little late on starting this thread so I will add a bit in due time for timeline purposes. I got out of the hobby nearly twenty years ago while I was in the Navy. I told my now current lovely bride for the last 10 years how much I...

Hello Everyone! After much time browsing and lurking on the forums it is time that I start a build thread of my own. I have been working on this tank setup and fish room for a few months already so I will have multiple posts to get everything up-to-date. After a recent renovation to our...

Hi fellow reefers, I am documenting my build in this thread. As I posted in introduction, I am an old FW aquarist and starting my large reef.. I will sketch out my vision, plans, and how I am building my reefer. Vision: create a mixed reef with good amount of SPS corals, focusing on Angels...
