mixed reef

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...

APRIL 12TH UPDATE - HELP NEEDED - Jump to last post to help me out with my new whitetail bristletooth tang and pintail fairy wrasse. UPS botched the delivery and the order arrived 24 hours late. YouTube video is also in the last post. Thank in advance. ----- Welcome to my build thread! Feel...

Hi all, I've got a 7mos old 150g mixed reef; my first. My current bioload: Chromis, Clownfish, Cardinal Banggai, Convict Tang, Royal Gramma, Diamond Watchman Gobi, Cleaner Shrimp, Tiger Conch, variety of softies, LPS, and down the road some SPS, hermit crabs, emerald crabs, sand sifting...

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...

Hello all, Long time R2R lurker here. Been keeping aquariums my whole life and reef tanks since about 2005. Six years ago I shut down a 120 and I've been missing it ever since. The bug has got me and now I'm planning a new 210 gallon tank. Equipment Tank - 210 Gallon Planet Aquaruims 72L x...

So it's come time to finally create this thread that I promised to do a while back. Been a member here on R2R for a while now but have only been lurking. I currently have about a 220 litre system with the sump included in that. Display volume around 170 litres. It's a cube and my first ever...

So, I ventured into that wonderful world of tank upgrades. I upgraded from my 70g cadlights II tank to a Waterbox 5226 peninsula. I'll be the first to say that it was quite challenging and took me nearly all day to do it. I found myself worrying and stressing during the whole process. But...

Just wanted to share a short video of my peacock in his 100g mixed reef. Breaking all kinds of stereotypes!

hey all, I wanted to start a build thread for my a new SW tank. I am hoping to get a reef ready glass tank that is either 90G or 120G (if I can find a 48” sized 120G tank, that is my preference. if anyone has knows where I can find one, please let me know, feedback I am getting is it is a newer...

Recent Update 5/31/19 Recent Update 4/8/19 - Shadowbox installed, tank filled -----ORIGINAL POST------ Hey guys! First time poster here but I've been reading Reef2Reef for years and most everything I've learned about this hobby was from you all. Build threads have been so helpful for me to...

I have a 36 gallon mixed reef bow with a 15 gallon sump. I have oscellarus clowns, lyre tail anthias, fire shrimp, lawnmower blenny, and assorted snail clean up crew. My reef is a little over a year old. I have a mix of softies, mostly lps, and some sps — green slimer and montipora. I am...

Hey again. I have a very large Devils hand in my 55 gallon mixed reef, along with many many loose fingers and small devils hands that drop off frequently. It's very healthy, but perhaps not happy at the moment. I say that because while it looks great, it doesn't have any polyp extension lately...

I am just about ready to put this plan all together so I wanted to make a build thread for it. Just so everyone doesn’t freak out about the cycle, I have had my sand in one 5gal bucket and my dry rock in another with air pumps with ammonia doses for the past 4+ months so they are both properly...

Hey gang! I moved out of my apartment to a house in Seattle, so The Apartment Reef has been disassembled. On the bright side, the new house has a semi-finished basement, so I’m back in the big tank game! The new (to me) tank is a centerdrilled 150gallon tank I picked up from a nearby guy on...

hey guys! First thread post so not sure if I’m posting in the right section. I tried to look for information on this but haven’t seen any. Does anyone put their encrusting sps on the same rock as a branching one. So example an encrusting sps with a branching acropora on the same rock. Would...

I just renter a PAR meter from BRS for$50/2 weeks. Anyways, I'm wanting to make my tank a mixed reef tank. So far I have mainly LPS and Zoas (2 Acros that haven't done much). Which is why I wanted to rent a PAR meter to fine tune things before really diving into and buying some good SPS. My...
