Please have a look at my custom reef protein-skimmer and sump i designed. I want to know if there would be anything you would change. I am not an expert and want to build a cheap but good quality nano reef tank. I would love to have some opinions on this. I had a good amount of fresh water...

Hey Guys! Just set up a new Waterbox 25 and have commenced cycling. Just curious as to what others are stocking and also using for media in the back chambers. Any info appreciated

This thread is to document my new super custom bio cube 29 Build. By 'super custom', I mean the only thing about this tank that's still a bio cube is the shell and the stand... You might ask why someone would build out an old/obsolete bio cube??? I've had many bigger and far more elaborate...

Hi everyone, I have 2 issues i need some advise on. I’m experiencing a persistent bacterial bloom in my 75L RedSea nano reef tank and could use some advice. Here are the details of my setup and current situation: Tank Size: 75L nano reef Cycle Status: Cycle completed two weeks ago Livestock...

Since they’re doing so spectacularly well in my larger tank I am hatching a plan. I’m looking to start a smaller tank (probably 18g) that will be dedicated to one or two Gonis! I’ll also add 1 or 2 small fish, CUC, and a couple of other odds and ends. Stand by for photos and progress reports as...

Hello everyone! I posted here really recently about my 3.5 gallon tank. However, I realized that I am moving very soon and am going to swap it for a 10 gallon aquarium. Currently, I only have three snails (a Nassarius, Astrae, and a Nerite(?). I was going to try and add a Sea Urchin but I...

Hello everyone! I run some snail-only tanks that recently got some sneaky bristleworms [discussed here]. I was told that they are all good and will help keep the tank clean, but I am stilled worried about accidentally overpopulating them. Up until now, I would just put some powdered spirlina in...

Looking for something that will work with the 30th Anniversary Eshopps 4.9gal Deskmate. I love this tiny tank but have yet to locate an LED that was not 9-12" above the tank. I'm looking for a lower-powered one, maybe an older AI Sol or Kessil A80. My challenge is finding one that will fit...

Hi team! I’m wondering what you all think the best fish is/are for a 20 gallon frag/growout tank? I’m probably going to go bare bottom and minimal rock - just enough to cycle. Bonus points if it’s aquacultured.

Should I be worried? I’ve had my tank -cycled and running for about 18 months now and just two or so weeks ago.. I began to notice this growth. (I also haven’t added anything new in months, so why now?) The color is neat, but I’m worried it’s a pest to take over if I’m not careful!

Hello, I would like to know some recommendations you guys might have for my nano tank. It’s 16”L 12”W and 15”T. I’m looking to grow a rock flower anemone and some softies.

Red Sea Max NANO 20g reef system WITH stand. Been up and running with no issues for almost two years. Unfortunately, have to move 1000 miles away and can't bring the set up with me. Has served me well and now want to find a new home for it. Happy to work out the logistics to include the clown...

First of all, greetings to everyone I'm here with a new installation. I have previous experience with salt water, but this time I believe I will learn and experience more with you. Moving on to the aquarium and equipment information, 4 glass ultraclear, 50x40x40 in size. I reserved a section...

Hey everyone! I finally got back into reefing a little bit ago and have set up a display reef tank, a display macro-algae tank, and a frag tank since then! i didn’t take much for pics along the way, but i take a ton now that it’s all set up! i’m super excited to be getting back to growing...

I noticed this little thing growing on one of my sump blocks, can’t seem to find anything on it. Some type of polyp? Thanks in advance!

Nice to meet all of you, I’m new to salt water aquarium but had a few years of experience in keeping bucephalandra in fresh water tank. After seeing one of friend start keeping corals, I felt in love with the vividness of coral reefs almost instantly, and patiently( not so much haha) started the...

Hi everyone, I'm new to reef2reef! I'm also new to Saltwater fishkeeping in general. I do have a 36 gal freshwater planted tank, so I'm not so new to fishkeeping, just inexperienced in the saltwater side. Background: Went to my LFS this weekend and saw an amazing nano reef tank. It was part of...

Hi, as you can see in the photo, there are 2 orange anemones that have appeared in my tank, i noticed one about 4 months ago but it appears to have moved and now another one has appeared, my concerns is if its Aiptasia or another pest. Any ideas and what i can do to remove if needed.

Oddball AIO penn-plax tank I won, wouldn't have ever paid money for this thing. The tank was free, so extra funds to put into other equipment or livestock, I guess?I had a pico tank a few years ago that unfortunately crashed and I'd like to try saltwater again. Holds just under 11 gallons filled...

Hello! Does anyone have recommendations for a fish that likes to hang out near or under rocks? A single fish w/ a pair of clowns in a 25g tank. Thank you for the help

Hello! My tank is fully cycled and I was about to begin dosing. I have a 25G tank w/o corals, but with live rock and coralline. I’m leaving for a 4 day vacation on Wednesday and will not be able to test or dose until Sunday. I have already dosed 5ml yesterday, and 2.5ml today. I do not yet...
