    Build Thread 100'' Shallow Reef Tank / Paludarium

    I'm excited to start working on a new project, a 100'' long shallow reef tank! Previously, three smaller shallow reef tanks covered this wall.. but I always had the dream of creating one large, low-tech, system and having lots of mangroves, macro algae and nano critters in it. Above the water I...

    Integrated Macro Tank

    Has anyone successfully integrated a macro algae into their system? I was thinking of splitting my overflow to put about 80% to my refugium and 20% to a macro tank. The output from the macro would go to the skimmer chamber in the refugium. thoughts?

    Advice needed from cheato reactor experts

    The instructions for my Tunze chaeto reactor (large version) say: Two questions: I don't really understand how the reactor can keep the nutrients stable, if I get rid of 90% of the cheato. Should I really toss about 90% of the cheato when I harvest? I measured out 390 grams and it's not really...

    Tips on how to get rid of Coralline naturally?

    Hey all! I have a 10+ year old 24 gallon tank at home that is self-sustaining, but has tons of Coralline algae in it. I know some people like it, but I don’t. Can anyone give any tips on what clean up crew to add to attack this? I was thinking a zebra urchin and some trochus snails.

    So many copepods? Is this normal? Or am I just lucky?

    I set this tank up in January. Is this normal getting this amount of pods in 5-6 months? Things I did, I used pods/phyto from algae barn right after the tank cycle was complete. Got the refugium up and running on month 2. And during the initial tank set up. After the cycle of course. I also got...

    Setting up macro tank questions.

    Hello, I'm in the process of setting up what will be a 55 gallon macroalgae tank, and was wondering if there is any specific salt that I should use that will give me the best chance, or if it doesn't even matter. Salt like Natural salt water, red sea coral pro, instant ocean, etc. And any...

    so I’m working on plumbing a display refugium/macro algae tank into my main display tank which is a 135g. My main question is when can I add macros, and when should I add a clean up crew.
