nano reef

Hello everyone, I initially started up my 15g nano reef tank in December 2022 so I could get saltwater inverts, as I was interested in them. However, I have had crustaceans dying one by one, with about 2+ weeks to one month intervals between deaths. I have tried everything to figure out what’s...

Hi all! I have seen baby aiptasia pop up in my tank very infrequently, I usually spot about 1-2 a week (if any at all) and I’m a person with really good eyesight. These baby aiptasia have always been on a rock or frag that I was able to pull out and treat out of water, however in this case, I...

Welcome to my build thread! I've been a longtime lurker on the reef forums and am on my third reef tank, but this is my first build thread on Reef2Reef! I mostly see this as an opportunity to keep track of my own thoughts and observations and hopefully use to look back on my updates on this...

I’m looking for some recommendations as to how to rid my tank of these pests. After being told to let them run their course I’ve had no luck in them disappearing. They now cause my zooanthids to constantly shut. Have read that it’s due to their stinging nature. Looking for an invertebrate or a...

Full Tank Shot as of 7/19/2024: Come one come all, welcome to my build thread. First, a bit about myself. When I was 14 I stumbled into an archaic corner of YouTube where people were keeping reef ecosystems in little glass boxes. I was hooked and immediately wanted to join in the fun. My...

After not having had a tank of my own in over a year, when I saw a little glass AIO sitting on a table in a thrift shop I decided I would give a small tank another shot. After a quick leaktest and a clean up, I started work on my aquascape. Using some live rock from a friend's tank I put...

Month 1: June 2022 At the beginning of June I picked up a used Biocube 29g. It had been setting in the guys garage with a couple inches of water for a while and was looking pretty rough. The first couple of weeks involved citric acid, bleach, and a lot of scrubbing. The rocks were bleached...

I haven't been a member for long, but been seeing many posts of people doing an evo 13.5 build either as a side project or their first reef tank. I have had this tank in the past and tried to do a mixed reef, but it didnt work out the way I hoped. So I was wondering how other reefers set it up...

I’ve been having trouble finding the best light to use for a 2 gallon Pico tank I recently set up. I would LOVE to be able to grow small acros in this thing, but using the extra ai prime I have seems a little like overkill. Any suggestions? Would like to keep it around $50 but I know that’s a...
