Figured this was as good a place to post this as my tank build in the Nano section. LFS said they were juvenile Gold Lightning Maroons, but I'm 99.9% sure they're Gold Nuggets! Either way they're absolutely gorgeous and I've never seen them in person before. They are the only fish in this tank...

Hello everyone!! Happy new years! I just recently purchased a jbj 15gallon aio cube and I was planning on using just the return pump for flow to my understanding is I got something like a 500 gph pump and dual nozzle with rfg that should come out close to about enough flow for softies and maybe...

Got the itch for a new tank. I am limited in space in my living room to go up to a bigger tank, so I decided I was going to build a nano tank in the bedroom. My local fish store Matt's Corals had a sale on the Hello Reef 15 gallon AIO. In order to streamline the cycling process I pulled some...

Hi! Hoping to get some opinions on other lighting options for a 15-gallon column tank. Currently running two blades, grow and glow, but I'm having issues with the entire grow blade getting extremely hot, including the plug. I did reach out to AI, so I'm hoping to find a solution, but in the...

I recently had to take my tiger pistol back to the LFS because my 15g nano was just too tight a space for him and he was unfortunately harming my live stock. If you've got a comment about tigers being too aggressive or natures angels please hold your comments for my other thread "Tiger Pistol...

My LFS is selling this fish, and i love it the most from all of the other available reef blennies. It is also pretty cheap compared to blennies in the ecsenius genus. Should i get one? I also have two yellow clown gobies, and maybe in the future will sell one(they do not want to pair up)...

Hey everyone, I have a 15 gal cube. I have a canister filter and I was hoping to hopefully do something to swap out my filtration. My canister is a zoomed nano and I feel like it is no longer upkeeping as it used to. What would be a better way to filter out and have a cleaner tank? Please...

I have a 15 gallon tank and the current inhabitants are 2 wide bar black ocellaris clowns. In the future I will also add a cleaner shrimp. Is it reasonable to add any more fish to such a small tank? If so what would be good options for an additional fish?

Hey guys! I recently started a nano tank, I converted my fluval flex into a saltwater tank. I just want everyone’s thoughts on wether it’s ok to put corals on the back side of live rock. I feel kinda bad cause they’ll be kinda hidden. I recently ordered more frags from TSA due to their Black...

Bought and set this tank up late last year so it's 8 or 9 months old. I have a larger 65 gallon and having 2 tanks is too much. Plus I'm in the process of replacing the 65 with a 240. I wanted a clown/anemone and zoa tank but instead got an aptasia tank. haha I have a small UV which I used for...
