mixed reef

So this past Friday (January 31st), I came home from work to find some water on the floor around my 16 gallon Biocube. I looked, and sure enough there was a leak. The next day, I bought some aquarium silicone sealant and bought a 29 gallon tank from Petco along with a cheap 30 gallon HOB filter...

Hey everybody, I have just gotten 2 AI Hydra 32HD for a 48x18x24 90g tank. Im new to saltwater and corals, but im trying to have an lps dominated tank with maybe some birdsnest or montipora near the top. Is this lighting sufficient? Its super bright, but I'm new to reefing so...

I’m newer to the hobby (about a year), and first time posting anywhere. previously purchased some cheap Chinese lights thinking they would suffice. Obviously didn’t and broke. Decided to upgrade to the AI Hydra 52 HD’s. I have a 150 gal display mixed reef. I am wanting to start adding in more...

Just got the OK to put a reef tank in my office. I have done a 3.7 pico before, but it crashed after a year while I was out of state taking care of my mom in hospice for 6 weeks. This one I wanted to be in my office where I will see it everyday. I will be posting updates and am open to...

Most current FTS: 7/29/2020. See page 2 or 3 for the switchover to the IM lagoon. I've been a member here since 2010, but my old email address is no longer valid, and I think I only had maybe 15 posts anyhow. This tank has been running for 3 years, but this past year it had hard times due to my...

Hi everyone, We just bought a new home (Santa Rosa CA) last fall and decided it was time to upgrade our reef tank. Spent a great deal of time looking at tanks at the LFS and online. Finally settled on the Reefer 750 XXL. One small problem, they were on back order on almost every site I tried...

To start off I'd like to say that I hope all my fellow reefers are doing great and had a great holiday season. I am going to be moving into a new house about 15 minutes away and need advice on how I should move my 90 gallon reef with 20 gallon sump. The tank is plumped into the sump inside the...

Hi There guys here is my Aquaja Diamond 450 L Reef tank.

Hey Guys, My names Andrew and I'm from Western Australia and am brand new to these forums. Thought I'd start a build thread for my new 60cm x 60cm x 52cm mixed reef tank. Mostly for myself so I can look back at the progress being made, but hopefully some people will enjoy following along too...

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?

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.

Hey All, Newcomer to R2R, but been using this forum as a resource on my current build. Wanted to share this and hopefully pick up some info from you more experienced folks along the way. This is my second mixed reef tank, had one at my office a few years back, but decided to take it down and...

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...
