nano 10g

What's up reefers, Starting a new nano anemone build with the goal in mind being a sunburst anemone, and a zoa or shroom rock after its settled in. The tank is an old Fluval Flex 9 that i'm upgrading with some other equipment gathered over the years. Filled it up last night and there are no...

This is my first saltwater tank (it’s a FOWLR) what should be my first live stock salinity is 35ppt) 10 gallons

I’m in a predicament on which one I should get I would have to make a custom lid for my nano 10 g and hopefully that would cut down on evaporation . I know I need to get a lid just in case it just hasn’t been very high on my list of things I need . Or I get a ato system off of Amazon and then...

Looking to add another fish to my system. Currently the only fish is a small ocellaris clownfish. Thoughts I've had so far: Remove clown and replace him with a neon dottyback Keep clown and add court jester. Keep clown and add six-line or pygmy wrasse. I'm happy to hear all...

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. I was curious if I could put this anemone in a 10 Gallon aquarium—side note what anemone is this? There won't be any other critters for the anemone to worry about—just an anemone tank! Maybe some macro algae eventually. Is this okay/humane? I...

Hey everyone! I’m new to the saltwater side of the hobby and wanted to share my journey so far—plus get some advice and reassurance from the pros here on Reef2Reef! I’ve been keeping freshwater tanks for a while, but about 3 weeks ago, I finally took the plunge into saltwater and set up my...

Hello, very new to forums in general but, I’d like some information on xr30w gen2 lighting. In particular I need need to tune in the light to a 15x15x15 nano reef, the tank mostly consists of hammers, Aussie lords, acan echinatas, zoas, montipora, and duncans. The light is roughly 16” away from...

Hey everyone, I just have a quick question—probably stupid one, but here we go... I have a nano aquarium of 10.5 gallons. After a long break of the hobby, I had lost some motivation. But I recently got back into. Currently, i only have one shrimp, 2 snails, and a 3 hermit crabs. I'm using a...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to add a sea urchin to my nano tank and was wondering if you could offer some advice. Specifically, I'm trying to find out which species are best suited for smaller tanks. What is the smallest species of sea urchin that works well in aquariums? Are tuxedo urchins...

And upon seeing this, I instantly wanted a mantis shrimp and was determined to learn what it took to keep one. Strange way to get into the hobby, probably, but its been so much fun from day one. I did what any impulse decision driven individual does and drove myself to Walmart and got the...

Hi everyone I have just lost my two new clownfish to disease (seems like they were already diseased when I bought them, though not visibly at the time). They were the only fish in my 10 gallon nano tank and I am now left with a cleaner shrimp, some snails and a small young zoa colony. The tank...

Well, I decided I’m going to redo my display tank and get away from softies and do LPS dominant. But before I can do that I obviously “needed” a place to store the various softies I pull out. Hence the “need” to build a new tank. This may not be an ideal build or setup, but I pieced it together...

My ph has been sitting at 7.6 both before and after installing the BRS co2 scrubber. I think the issue is that my skimmer doesn’t pull air fast enough for the scrubber to work. I feel no suction when I put my finger over the scrubber intake, and also when I do that the bubbles don’t stop going...

My tank is getting overrun with what I believe to be dinoflagellates. I know small/new tank syndrome is probably part of it, but is there any way to get rid of it? I heard that raising nitrates and phosphates could help, but that’s a scary idea to me as I have some sensitive animals in the tank...

Hello from Australia, I recently set up a 10 gallon and here’s some options (fish-wise) my LFS gave me - Six line wrasse - Ocellaris Clowns - GBR blenny - Clown Goby (Yellow or Green) - Bicolour Blenny* - Bangai or Pyjama Cardinal* - Dottybacks (Splendid, Purple Stripe, Royal) - Basslets (Black...

So I just set up my first saltwater tank, it’s the 13.5g Fluval Evo. I plan on getting a much bigger tank in the future when my living arrangements are different. Not including the space the rock takes up, I have exactly 10g of water in the tank. I have two orange skunk clowns in there, and I...

Hey all! I’m fairly new to Reef 2 Reef, but I’ve been in the hobby since 2017, so I figured I’d start to post. I always wanted a reef tank, and when I was in college I finally had some cash, and obviously too much time on my hands… I should’ve been paying off loans but coral’s more fun . My...

How To Have Your DREAM nano AQUARIUM!!!

Its been a while since I've had a saltwater aquarium, but I'm finally ready to jump back in. My previous tank was successful for the most part but I now know that I should do a few things differently. Mainly, not placing it by a window!!! As well as taking things slower and not messing with the...

Good morning guys, it is a slow Monday so I decided to reach out on R2R to get some ideas on a new nano tank project I have. Here is what's going on - last month I bought a 10 gallon tank from Petco (see pic) to set up as a nursery for some baby seahorses as my male was pregnant. Well, he gave...
