nano reef aquarium

now a new tank has been started after the previous one of 10 gallons crashed and it also burst, so a new one of 6 gallons was made instead

Hello everyone! This is my 10 gallon nano reef tank and is about 1.5 years old with many corals growing out of it and going into my larger display tank. In the photo, the corals aren’t showing their typical PE as I just stuck my hand in the tank to pick up a fallen frag and caused them to slime...

Figured I would keep a journal of my progress with my first saltwater tank. I found the aquarium and stand on craigslist and bought myself a heater and hob. The light is an aquaneat and I will be replacing that in due time. Oh I know the water level is low. I'm planning on getting another few...

Finally got it running now I just need to find a small rock and some majano anemones

Hi everyone, I am setting up a Nuvo 10 gallon tank. It’s already been cycling for a week now. I haven’t tested anything yet but waiting for at least 3 more weeks. I would love to have future stocking advice on what to add first into the a new tank like this one. Or should I make it just coral...

Hello All, I am new to the hobby and currently have a nano tank that's thriving. Recently I upgraded the light to a Kessil A80 with the intention of growing the coral faster and enhancing the color when viewing. I was curious as to how I should keep my settings (Color / Intensity) throughout...

If you're thinking of starting out with Acro's my suggestion is a Green Slimer Acropora SPS coral like this one. The Green Slimer Acropora is not as delicate to keep as other Acro's and will tolerate certain differences in water parameter differences. Thanks for checking out my recent and...

I have a 15 gallon nano reef, running 2 kessil a80’s over it (1 on its way in the mail) with spectral controller. Running a icecap gyre 1k around the back just to clear up detritus. For filtering I have a reef glass protein skimmer, and I have an aquaclear 70 with the ocean box designs surface...

AYO! Seriously interested to know what you guys think of this tank? Personally, I think it's creative and awesome, however I have seen some people hate on it saying the aquascape is not for them :/ Thoughts? (details on this tank are in the YouTube description, just click on the video link)

Hey all, Just joined and am looking for some help. I am trying to identify this protein skimmer. I was going through a bunch of stuff salt water supplies I had and came across it. Once identified, would it be too much for a 15 nano? I'm trying to avoid getting another one if this would work...

Hello everyone! I have a well-established IM Nuvo 40 that is predominately LPS/Softies with a clam and some RBTAs. I have had a Chinese LED fixture over it for the past few years and it's decent, but I would like to upgrade. Historically, I bought a Halo pendant, but didn't like the coverage...

Hello reefers, This is my first attempt to create a nano reef and I am doing everything by my own. This is going to be a a 50g system (total, including sump). I have just finished the DT. Later I planned not to drill the tank or use any Overflow so adding a thin barrier with an opening which...
