Hey, all. This is my first reef tank, and I am overwhelmed with all the equipment needs. I purchased a Waterbox 25g AIO peninsula tank and have an appropriate custom stand, but that is the only 'hardware' that I own at this time. Included below is a potential build list. If possible, I would...

I'm new into the hobby and I don't have this tank finished and I already want to go bigger!:)

Hi all, and welcome to my build thread! Stock/Pics Updated 12/21/21 First, a bit about me: I've always been fascinated with marine biology and fish tanks in general. They're not only incredibly fun and relaxing to look at, but I love the idea of applied science and having a real slice of an...

Hey there R2R! My name is Lisa. I have been keeping seahorses for almost 2 years now and this will be my 4th time setting up a tank for them. I know, your thinking a tank every 6 months? Well, yes and no. A little backround. My father, a long time reef keeper, gifted me his 75g full setup when...
