Hello everyone! I've been an avid fish keeper for a long time, primarily on the freshwater side, but I'm excited to dive into the world of saltwater. I was inspired by a close friend who is in the hobby. Anytime I went to his place, I would stare at his tank the entire time, so I figured it's...

A little thread to document my little tank.
I filled a 20 gal long with saltwater about 2 weeks ago...maybe 3...not sure when actually. I just thought a glass box of saltwater might be cheerful.
I modified an AquaClear 70 to act as a HOB (hang on the back) refugium / place to grow macroalgae...
Guys I finally got the first edition! The tank is 13 weeks old, full of copepods and I finally took the plunge with a Firefish! I’ve been waiting for the perfect one as I’m aware I’m limited on options and I think it’s so pretty!
Would like to add 3 sexy shrimp in a couple weeks but any ideas...
So, this is not my first rodeo, but after a 6yr break it feels like I’m relearning everything from scratch. Kid’s are older and I feel safer returning to the hobby (hopefully no one will feed my fish play dough this time lol).
Anyway, I’m excited to share this journey with y’all especially that...
Hey all -
Trying to decide lights for my NUVO 20 (24" long, 12" deep, 13" tall display) and feels like I am going round and round so thought I would ask for some advice:
Will be growing softies and maybe some easy LPS, so don't need anything crazy
It is in my living dining room about 1 ft...
Hey all,
Just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I've been getting into the hobby for over 18 months, planning my tank setups and buying used gear when I could find good deals. The stars finally aligned when I got my own apartment, so I setup my first of 2 tanks, a 20 Gallon FijiCube...

Not much sand at bottom (definitely less than 0.5”, some bare spots). Previous owner mentioned I may want to take more out. My current plan is to remove...
In June 2023 bought an existing running complete red sea max nano system w/ a few corals and two fish from facebook marketplace. Ran a 10g nano successfully for a couple years ~2005, moved from Wisconsin to NYC, now in Connecticut and getting back into the hobby and can tell equipment has...

Hello. After a recent catastrophic structural failure of a much larger tank and losing everything (RedSea 425XL)...and thinking it would be a long time before I would devote time and effort into...
Good afternoon Everyone!
Hope all is well. New here, as a child I had a freshwater tank that eventually moved into a saltwater fish only tank a few years later. Eventually I left the hobby, military and college. Now as an adult, with children of my own, its time to reignite my old love! I work...
Lf any help I can get lol getting frustrated with this hobby despite the love I have for it!
My understanding is that these two corals you can throw in a toilet and they would live, so what is going on? Parameters in picture.
4 month old tank.
Salinity ranges from 1.025-1.026
Nitrates are high...
Setting up the tank this Sunday and have made a few scapes, there’s about 8 pounds of rock here and the tank is 15, any suggestions or recommendations on which scale to use or how to improve, also I was wondering if using just a small piece of live rock can seed the tank because it’s really...
Can't find my blenny in my 20g, i remember seeing him a little under a week ago and i haven't seen him since. I have a Possum Wrasse, Pearly Jawfish, and an Ocellaris Clown pair. Anything I can do to coax him out or any idea when i'd see them?
So I've been running an IM 20 with skimmer for a few months, I am still fighting microbubbles at times. I expect bubbles after a water change or feeding. But not constantly. I hate it. I've added some filter padding after the skimmer to try and trap bubbles but I still can't seem to eliminate...
Hey everyone, so I have a 20G system that’s been running for about 8 months now, I have 2 big now live rocks in the tank and a whole bunch of marine pure sherries that have been in the tanks since the beginning. Currently only have 2 clowns and corals in the tank and I wanted to remove one of...
Hi,
I'm pretty new to keeping marine aquariums. I've kept freshwater planted tanks before and I thought I'd take a shot at saltwater. I have a 20g Waterbox Cube that's been cycling for a few weeks. I received a shipment from WWC of my first coral frags ever and was pretty excited. I got a...
Hello all,
I have a royal gramma in my 20 long, as well i have a pair of clowns, a watchman goby and a blue damselfish,
The royal gramma keeps picking up sand with its mouth and throwing it all over the place,
Should i be concerned or is this normal behavior?
Hey everyone,
So I started this tank in August, so far everything is going great,
We upgraded from a 10 gallon to a 20 long, added some new coral (Soft only) as well a Royal gramma who seems to be fitting in really nicely.
This is from the 10...
I Have an Innovative Marine tank that's 20 gallons. its 13 inches (33cm) tall, and I am using a Ocean Revive T247 light. It is using the default bracket placed approximately 8 inches (20cm) above the water surface. What are your recommended light setting? I know it depends on what you keep, etc...
