Introduction
Greetings from Russia! Honestly, I was not ready to receive an offer from Daniel@R2R to present my reef in the Reef of Month nomination cause there are lots of beautiful reef systems besides mine.

So I recently pick up a used (24x24x24) 60 gallon cube. The light he gave me with it was a little T5 fixture which would be ok for some very low light corals. I need to get a lights and powerheads for it. I’m looking to have a mixed reef tank and am looking for a good light that can be mounted...
Update: Once I added a HOB refugium to my sumpless 40B, it was game over. The tank started leaking within a week because the extra weight pulled the tank too far out of level.
As such, I upgraded to a Red Sea Reefer 250. If you'd like to start there, click here. If you'd like to read through my...
Hi everyone! About a week ago I had to unexpectedly move, but this was the perfect excuse for a tank upgrade! I ordered a 22 Gallon Low Iron Rimless Glass Tank by Mr. Aqua! My older brother helped me build a tank stand and set up a sump as quickly as we could! My stand blueprints were put...
Hello,
I am new to reefing and being overwhelmed with the amount of info on which corals can sit next to which and what light and flow each need. Should have done a lot more thinking while I was building my scape.
I would like to have a mixed reef with softies, LPS, and eventually SPS. Here...
Well, it’s finally time, again.
From 2009 to 2015, I ran a total of 650 gallons in tanks in my “fish room”. 180 fowlr, 90 LPS/Zoa, 60 SPS, 8x40 breeders for a mix of quarantine tanks and frag tanks. When I moved, I tore everything down and sold off everything I owned. Ever since then, I’ve been...
Hey everyone first time posting here. My tank has been up and running for about a year now and it has been a great ride with a steep learning curve. My wife and I previously had a 35 gallon freshwater tank that we maintained very poorly and stocked from petsmart. Maintenance was basically wait...
I have a 14 gallon rimless mixed reef aquarium. I have been running the Kessil A360x tuna blue with manual adjustments throughout the day. Today I received a wifi dongle and am looking for some direction with programming the lighting schedule as well as some general questions about the light...

Editor's Note: This is the first time in the history of our Reef of the Month that we have revisited a tank that we previously featured. However, we think you will all agree that Tusi's reef is a tank that is highly deserving of this...
Hello Reefers!!!
This is my 75 gallon "Hopefully" mixed Reef at some point Build.
Backstory used to have a 90 gallon FOWLR about 15 maybe more years ago, now I have a 29 running for almost a year now and want to move everything to the 75 when ready, I will seed the 75 with sand and rock from the...
Hi i was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a bit of advice I'm looking at getting a red sea reefer 300xl (90cmx55x57) and setting it up as a mixed reef tank as lighting I was looking at using
Maxspect RSX 200 LED Light for lighting and wanted to know whether people have had a good...
So about 3 weeks ago I added a very large single snail to my tank. I believed it was a Trochus snail. But it was sold as an omen snail according to my LFS.
When I first got him he has been fine but has just been on the glass and not touched my rocks or substrate. It is very large around a £5...
I have been keeping fresh water “high tech” planted aquariums (CO2), and thought I should try something really high tech and start my first reef tank.
I went with the Red Sea e170 max ($1744) since I liked the form factor and I liked the rear sump option.
45 G (37 G display 8 G sump)
24" L x...
I was wondering what was a good light setting to promote good growth and colorations in a LPS and softies mix reef with the exception of no SPS. I can't seem to pop out the colors on my corals any suggestions is appreciated. I also attached my light schedule below. I would really appreciate you...
Hi Everyone, this summer or fall I will be taking the leap into dosing my Redsea 250. I'm in the planning stage currently and just trying to figure out what I will need as far as equipment and what to dose. I've been dosing Calcium and Reef Plus via my auto top off and that has worked for my GSP...
Hey everyone!
I decided to get back into reefing after a 10yr hiatus after my brother started one up again. I found a 20G Tall on the internet and gathered all my old equipment to start it up. It was the best decision I've made in a long time!
Born January 1st, 2021. My 20G Tall has a...
Hello everyone,
I have got back into the hobby after around 5 years away. I am not ashamed to say I might have used my 3 year old daughter to help convince my wife that we needed a tank again. Well it worked because this past December she gave the go ahead and I started gathering up items I...
