After sitting empty for quite a while, I finally decided it was time to pull my old Innovative Marine Lagoon 25 out of retirement and give it a second life. Rather than buying another tank, I wanted to see what I could do with a system I already owned. The goal wasn't just to get it running...

Hello, been running a nano LIV reef for 8 months now. Basically pulled it out of the box and threw a old Kessil A80 on it.

Hello everyone, I'm a Nano Reef enthusiast. I came to this forum because I acquired a very strange Acropora Frag. It has no visible fluorescence, appears brown under white light, but displays a beautiful gradient of structural color from sage blue to Prussian blue under blue light. Its polyps...

Hello all! New to saltwater, had some African Cichlid tanks in the past so I’m pretty familiar with freshwater. Going for a nano build to start, clown pair w/ some fun corals. I think I’ve got the basics down, any tips for someone new to saltwater? Build list- Innovative Marine 15gal AIO w/...

Hey all, Curious to get you thoughts. I have limited space in my tank, fluval 13.5, for SPS and looking to get your recommendations on what I should take a look at. The Par at the top of my arch is 330 with good flow. Since it’s a small space and can only fit a couple pieces I want to reserve...

Hey all! Just wanted to make my first post here. I’m fairly new to the hobby. Like many, I’m sure, I’ve been doing freshwater for years and have finally made the jump into saltwater. Here’s a photo of my tank. Fluval Evo 13.5

Hi Reefers, starting a new build thread (which by now is an old build thread as I've already moved on and have another iron in the fire 🤣), but I wanted to document that build and update my profile's build thread while I'm working on the new one. Previous builds (These aren't all of them. But...

So here we go. Starting this for my 29ish Gallon that I’m putting together. Started planning a while ago and reading then getting a couple things here and there. my wife found the tank and stand together so I decided to go for it. Collected a majority of what I need. Still waiting on the rocks...

Hello there, I recently finished cycling my 29g. i have some ideas for stocking but im open to ideas and comments. As of right now I have some CUC members (a few hermits, and a variety of snails). I picked up my first fish which was a watchman and tiger pistol. I am a bit conflicted because I...

Hello everyone! I've been out of the hobby for about 5 years now and finally decided to get back into it. I previously had an IM Nuvo 30 mixed reef and kept all the equipment. I had planned to use that tank again but after pulling everything out of storage, some how one of my Ai Primes no longer...

Hello everybody, I decided to start a thread for my 30 gallon innovative marine. Join me, if you would like, as I embark on this journey to turn this tank into something worthy of the bit of open real estate that I was graciously given permission by the bos...I mean my loving significant...

I bought a single 1/2” RFG and the flow mixed with my hygger nano powerhead reach the whole tank but the flow seems low compared to what it was before. Should I leave it? Or switch to dual 1/4” RFGs? My return pump is and power head are at max settings.

I'm doing an experiment... I have two 15gal AIO nano tanks both with three chambers in the back, intake/filtration/output as is typical. I'm interested in putting a long thin LED bulb about 12" or so on 24/7 in the intake chamber (instead of a filter sock which I have removed). This chamber is...

I have a 24g cube that currently has: - 2 clown fish - 1 banggai cardinal - 5 hermit crabs - 1 conch - 2 nassarius snails What else should I add for CUC? Shrimp, more snails? I deal with hair algae 2 years in and that’s about it.

First and foremost, I am completely aware I’m starting my first SW/Reef tank with something that is a bit beyond a beginner level. Constant parameter checks will be needed. However, research and science is what I do best and I have read and researched nano/pico reef aquariums since 2006 and...

First Biocube Video- work in progress. Enjoy

I joined R2R a year ago and finally decided to build my first reef tank. Here is my idea. I saw a lot of videos about people installing a (relatively) small and shallow tank, without sump or skimmer. The idea is mainly to host soft corals, invertebrates and two clowfishes. I ordered a shallow...
