mixed reef

Hey everyone I was at the LFS the other day and some Talbots Damsels really caught my eye. I love their coloration! Are they like other damsels, extremely aggressive or are they a more peaceful one that can be kept in a community reef?

This summer I purchased a 68 gal CADlights tank with all the equipment for $1100 on Craigslist. I just started the tank up at the beginning of November. My equipment: 68 gal CAD lights tank and stand Trigger Systems 30g ruby pro Various 6 return pump MP40 Bubble Magus Curve 7 protein skimmer...

I am planning on switching to a 2x Kessil a360we with a 48" T5 hybrid fixture with 2 blue+ 2 coral+ staggered. How high above the water surface should I mount the fixture. What is a good lighting schedule for a mixed but mostly SPS dominant tank. What is a good lighting schedule to start at...

I currently have a 60g, 29g and 10 gallon mixed reefs set up and I’ve never dosed anything to the corals. Any opinions on if or what I should dose? I feed them reef rounds twice a week and dose alk and calcium. Thanks.

So I wanted to start up a new tank. Was looking at a 200 gallon 48x36x27. Just wanted to get ideas for what equipment I should buy for a mixed reef tank. Thank you

Hey gang, I had the good fortune of buying a custom built 300 gallon glass aquarium and custom built stand from my dentist a few months back. I've been telling him for a few years that I want to buy the aquarium because he didn't ever have any water in it (the previous dentist in the practice...

I’ve been meaning to start a build thread for sooo long. So here it is! :) I’ll start with a little background and try to catch up to now. The image in my signature gives you an idea of where my current tank is at. Anyway, lots to cover! Hope you enjoy :)

Welcome everyone to my first build thread on R2R. Please be patient with me as I take a very long time for everything in this hobby including this build thread. However, I will try my best to provide in detail to help other reefers out there. I have read so many build threads that have tons of...

Time to start my build thread. Waterbox 230.6 was delivered a couple of weeks ago. Delayed a bit due to Hurricane Dorian. This will be setup in our new beach home we purchased. This was the last 230.6 made. Thanks to Angela for pulling some strings and making the white stand happen...

Hello reefers, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5g mixed reef tank. It is my first saltwater reef tank. My tank is now 6 months old and has undergone a lot of upgrades and changes along the way. It’s a mixed reef so I have softies, lps, and sps. So Fluval is an AIO so it has 3 chambers in the back. The...

This is my Fusion 40 as of 09.02.2019. I'm focusing on mostly keeping LPS, SPS, including Acropora's, but don't mine a few softies. Eddie of Eddie's Reef Aquaria(My YouTube Channel)

This is my new Red Sea E Max 260 build. I've been out of the hobby since 2009 when I used to have a 12 gallon JBJ Nano cube deluxe. I had some success with that tank as mostly a FOWLR tank. I have been wanting to get back into the hobby for many years and now with my young daughter around I...

Forgot to do a build thread on the 75 i set up! dang well thats fine its only temporary untill we settle on a new home, then im going 200+ here are a few pics! (Better get in and out before the tang police arrive)

Well before we get into the 40 Breeder it has been a privilege to care for nearly 2 years now, I figure I should start with my original baby the 20 High, and the story of my decision process of selecting a new tank and the transition from one tank to another. This was my 20 high reef tank...

Hello I was wondering what is your experience with keeping SPS in a mixed reef tank. I currently have a 270 gallon mixed reef and I have some montis in the tanks that are doing well and I want to try some acros out, whats the best way to add them in to an establish reef tank, I have read that...

The tank is a 120 (tall) 60x18x26 LxDxT. Unfortunately it has a blacked out center brace which complicates things. My current setup (at least in terms of lighting) is 4 black box lights and 2 ATI Blue Plus bulbs. My existing setup already grows Acropora, Miliporas, LPS, pretty much anything...

So I decided to stop just lurking around and actually participate. I'll use this thread as the "build" thread for my current tank. It's a 120 gallon 4x2x2 tank that I just setup and swapped from a 125 6 foot tank. This will be a "reverse" thread, where it is now and the how I got here with...
