Hey y’all, this will be my first foray into personally owning a larger reef tank. In my seven years in the reef hobby I have previously kept mostly nano tanks. I did take care of maintenance accounts for an LFS for about a year as well. This time around, I get to have my own! Here is the...

I thought the culprit was phosphates as they spiked due to a busy life and changing my RODI carts a little later than I normally do. As in they spiked to over 0.90 according to my Hanna. I have it now at 0.19 and still going down. I had a cream angel that picked on these specific corals that are...

Hello, I started off my membership to this group by frantically asking help with a bacterial bloom and Im so happy to say I remain unconquered and the tank is flourishing. There was a bit of a bounce back after the bloom and I struggled to get my ALK at the right levels and so the coral were...

Hey fellow reefers! My tank is (LxWxH) 48.2" x 25.3" x 21.7". I'm planning for a mixed reef. I am only interested in Kessil. Which of the following lighting options would be best? 1 x AP9X coverage: Up to 48” x 24” Mixed Reef / 36" x 24" for SPS Dominant Systems 1 x A360X coverage: 24" x...

Hello I’m just posting to ask if it’s normal for clownfish to breed often? Not too long ago all the prior eggs they laid disappeared (not sure what happened to them) and now they just laid some more. Is this normal or a sign of discontent?

Hello, I want to build a new large mixed reef tank, 300gallon (106x27x24inch) / 1150Liters (270x70x60cm). Any tips or tricks are appreciated. Stand will be made of 60/40 3mm steel with adjustable legs, any tips for how to "rust-proof" it? Also quite important is the fact that it would be...

I guess they really liked their goniopora home… I saw they were making clicking sounds and being more aggressive than usual and decided to look closely.

Just wanted to say hello and show a Pic or two. I was in the hobby in the mid to late 90's. Had to move a few times in rapid succession after I graduated college and I eventually list everything in the tank one night. Things have changed so much since then...it's not even the same thing anymore...

I’ve posted a few questions, but figured it was time to do an official tank introduction. I jumped back into reefing after a long hiatus and boy has quite a bit changed. I was young (16-17) when I first started and didn’t really have the knowledge and capability of reef-keeping but now, at 30...

I’ve done so much browsing regarding my 29g aquarium and the lighting that would be best for a mixed reef. Every single 29g thread I search on the World Wide Web is a nano tank, a biocube or some sort of AIO system. As mentioned in the title of this thread; the dimensions of my aquarium...
