I have two clownfish and a fairy wrasse in the tank now, along with some anemones and a small zoa colony. I want fish that swim between the rocks and have some personality instead of hiding. I was looking into dwarf angelfish, but they can have issues with corals and I'm not sure how they would...

Hey everyone, This is my first Reef2Reef build thread, and I’m excited to finally share the start of my reefing journey! I’m about halfway through my cycle, lights off, fishless, and just letting the bacteria do their thing. My nitrite levels have stayed high for quite a while, but ammonia is...

Hey everyone! Excited to finally join Reef2Reef and share my first saltwater build. I’m currently about halfway through the fishless cycle on my 20-gallon Waterbox AIO, running lights-off while the bacteria do their thing. Ammonia has dropped nicely, but nitrite is still off the charts, while...

Tank has been running for about 4 years but i rescaped it about a year ago with new dry rock. Just wanted to share it here. There's no fancy corals or equipment but I enjoy it. Feel free to ask any questions about the tank. Thanks for viewing.

After getting away from the hobby for the past 3 years when my daughter was born, I'm back at it and starting up my small biocube to keep things small scale for now while I regain my knowledge and learn the new things I have missed out on! Can't wait to see what it turns into! May 30th 2025 -...

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...

Hi all I bought this anemone (around 5 cm) 4 weeks ago and this week I started to notice white rings around the tips (compare image). The anemone itself has never moved (and I assume it likes the space) and one of my two clownfish attached to it after only 1.5 weeks. The light is 30 cm above...

I have an open glass 6g cube that I am thinking about converting into a nano reef with one tiny evil maroon clownfish that needs a home where he can’t kill any other fish that comes his way. I would like to keep this tank simple, low tech and affordable and use as much of what I already have...

Hello Reef2Reef! I have been in the hobby for about 10 years, enjoying mostly nano mixed reef and low-tech planted tanks. After being without a reef tank for about 1 year following a cross-country move, we decided to take the plunge and start a small mixed reef, trying for a more SPS-dominated...

How To Have Your DREAM nano AQUARIUM!!!

I have a 13.5 that's been running for a year, now I'm starting up a 5-gal pico reef. No solid plans on stocking it yet, would love any input. Not planning on adding a fish, just as much diversity in coral/ inverts as I can. Planning to add a sand bed, and use water, live rock, and filter media...

I’m getting ready to slowly start my setup of my Fluval Evo 13.5. After running a 150 gallon, 55 gallon before taking a break from the hobby, I currently have a Fluval Flex 32.5 running. I’ve been wanting to set up a “nano tank” for a while, and now that my son is a little older I thought it...

Hello all! Currently waiting on my Waterbox 35.2 to ship, so I am in the process of getting the remaining equipment lined up. I won't lie, I am a bit nervous about the size of the tank, as most of my previous tanks have been quite a bit larger, but I didn't feel super comfortable with having...

Hey everyone, I saw a happy looking YWG and pistol shrimp pair at my LFS, and I was wondering if my geometric pygmy hawkfish would attack the goby, as I hear that this can happen. Tank is a 15g cube. The goby will live wherever the pistol burrows and the hawk has a cave in the live rock it...
