mixed reef

Hello everyone I'll be moving in the next few weeks and would like to upgrade to the Red Sea xxl 625 when i do. So I'm selling my Reefer 350. Its been up and running for 2 years with no crashes. Depending on interest, I'd either be willing to sell it as is, with all the livestock and equipment...

I've had this system up and running for about a year now, it was an upgrade form a previous 10gal AIO that I had been running for about 2 years. I just never got around to creating a build thread until now. Equipment list: · IM Lagoon 25 · 2x Kessil A80’s w/ controller and goosenecks · DA...

I don't think I ever posted on this forum before. So, hello everyone! I am a biochemist working in an office and terribly missing my lab days. That and my love for diving had me starting a reef a couple of years ago. In my youthful light-headedness, I thought I could do it in a small (180 litre)...

Hello everyone, Welcome to my tank build. I am graduating from college in less than a month at this point and am beyond excited. So to celebrate this I am thinking of treating myself to something I've been wanting for quite sometime, a 125 gallon mixed reef tank. I found a standard non...

Hello, I just joined here and am starting a new thread to document the progress with my new 90 gallon tank build. I also have a tank journal going on a Canadian reefing site but it lacks activity. SPECS DT 48"w 18"d 21"h 3/4" bean animal overflow & diy glass overflow box Sump 30 gallon breeder...

First want to start off by giving you a little background information about myself and the tank. I am a total noob to the reefer hobby so will be looking for help frequently. I have took the last 2 months browsing this forum for help and research. I have previously been in the African Cichlids...

I recently saw this snail in the beach, there were quite a few. I have never put anything alive from the wild in my tank and was wondering what kind of snail this is and is it safe for a mixed reef? If it is, would it be ok to Dip? And most important, is it legal to remove from the beach?

Moving my build thread to the right forum! Hello Folks! I am returning to the hobby after a 10 year hiatus. I had a 75g mixed reef when I was in high school with varying levels of success. It has been so long, and I screwed so much up before that for all intents and purposes I consider myself...

Hello, I am starting this tread to show our Reefer 450 build. It all started with a used 20G Nano tank that my girlfriend bought after we had discussed how much maintenance i needed to be involved in if she got a saltwater tank. It took maybe 2 days and I was hooked. The possibility to really...

Hi all, I am setting up a mixed reef in my Nuvo 40 office tank and I am trying to figure out some good coral stocking options. I am struggling to figure out my best options for the lower portions of the liverock closer to the sandbed. The photos I attached will help to show why I am asking about...

Hey everyone! It's finally time for me to upgrade my 50-gallon mixed reef. I want a tank big enough for my yellow tang when he gets bigger, and also for my powder blue tang. I have a budget of about 2 Grand and I was wondering what tank I should get. I really like the all-in-one designs, and I...

I'm setting up my first tank in a few years, life and moving got in the way but that's a whole long story... I'm starting back with a 48x18x21 with a 30 long for a sump. I'm hoping to start with a few fish, softies and move into lps and maybe at some time down the road sps or at least another...

Hi guys, I'm starting a new reef tank and also wanted to start a thread at the same time in order to document the whole process. So here goes. I currently have a Red Sea Max C250 (current picture attached) it is 3 1/2 years old and it was also my first tank. It has served me well as a first tank...

Ive been working hard spending hours on this site, I love getting feedback and suggestions on my build. My build thread is in the cube section but I figured maybe I can reach more eyes posting in general forum! Would love for people to check it out and let me know what they...

Some background: I grew up working with my dad with freshwater tanks, and had wanted a saltwater tank for a long time. About a year ago, I finally bit the bullet and invested in a basic 10 gallon set up. Just some live rock, a hang on back filter, and a power head. I was immediately hooked. I...

I like that nifty little title so I reckon I better start an actual build thread. I bought several tanks, a 10g, 20g, 20g IM Nuvo, a 29g and a 75g with stand. The 20g Nuvo will be my QT, the 10g the ATO for that tank. The 75g is becoming my reef tank. It was used and came with a shoddy...

Hey everyone! I haven't updated my original tank thread in over a year, so instead of trying to catch up, I thought I would make a new thread starting from where the aquarium is now. If you would like to see the original thread, which shows how I put together most of the aquarium, you can go...

#1 - David finally hooked me. This is the beginning of a long journey of the first system put together by a close friend, Chris Boehm. He moved on to other display systems and ended up passing it on to me. It's over 5 years old, but has been revamped many times. I'm not sure if the hardscape...

Ok let’s get this started. As you can see my Reef Savvy tank has arrived in its fantastic crate! My anticipation for this tank and the build I’m about to embark on has been great to say the least. After a year of planning, lots discussions with Felix at Reef Savvy, and then some hard prep work...

Hi All, Very excited to find a home to post my build thread. I hope you drop by to get updates or follow along with the journey. I'm open to feedback and am thinking to make this hopefully detailed pic heavy. Background From Toronto, Canada... I started getting interested in the hobby...

So i decided to start up another tank after shutting down my FOWRL due to possibly moving house. My first tank was given to me by a friend which was 1200x600x450 which i had looking really nice until it crashed(Skimmer overflowed to waste and ATO kept filling fresh water) Then i upsized that to...
