Hello Everyone,
My name is Nathan! (“Hi, Nathan”, they reply. LOL) After watching countless hours of videos about reef tanks...

Should I re do my aquascape? I am always looking for ways to make my tank better and wonder if anyone has any advice for ways I can improve my aquascape. Should I let it be or change something up?
Hello everyone,
I bought my first saltwater aquarium 1 month ago.
It is 30 gallons and is 12 inches deep.
It is fitted with 2 Fluval nano marine 3.0 (20Watt).
I am at the end of the cycle period and want to start with the first corals (Softies).
Does anyone know the best light settings in...
After finally deciding to shut down my rejected TMC signature due to a move, I felt it was finally time to downgrade. I’ve moved all surviving inhabitants from my old system to my new one and am using as little equipment as possible, mainly made up of random things I’ve collected over the years...
Hi all, I'll try to not ramble on, but my tank has been in a downward spiral for 3 or 4 weeks now, and I am really struggling to find out what to do here.
Tank is a Fluval Evo 13.5, running since 7-25-2021. Light is a Fluval Marine LED 3.0, Sicce Syncra Silent 1.0, AI Nero 3, InTank Chamber 1...
Hi guys!
Here's my first build post!
This used 10g tank started out as a QT tank for my 55g a year and a half ago.
11 months ago I decided to move it upstairs as a little nano tank!
Fast forward to last weekend, I bought my first brand new IM 20g AIO and upgraded the nano tank.
Innovative...
Hi everyone
I hope I can get some help, I am completely new to reef keeping after keeping fresh water for quite a while. I now have had my nano reef set up for around 6 months and started 1 month ago adding my 1st soft corals (some mushrooms, Xenia and GSP). My mushrooms where doing really well...
Hello everyone
Today I will pick up a used Red Sea Max Nano from a guy in my community. He just moved all fish and corals into his second (and bigger) tank.
Now as the tank was running until yesterday it will come pretty "dirty". Now I wanted to ask you guys, how would you properly clean the...
I have a 14 gallon cube and I’m interested it broadening my biodiversity. I have two clowns that I intend to move when they get a little bigger. Currently there are also three emerald crabs, that I will also move or get rid of, five hermits, five Astraea snails, one Cerith snail and some corals...

Finally settled down in Charleston SC, and decided it was time to set up a new tank. Breaking away from my lagoon/frag reef I had in St. Louis, and going to try to build a floating peninsula style, with KISS as the design intent. Was able to find this IM Nuvo 14 from a local and started it...
Finally back in the hobby after about 6 years... I have a Nuvo 14 Peninsula currently in transit that I plan to make into an LPS/euphyllia dominant reef tank. The tank will be to my house on Wednesday, in the meantime, I am working on building a custom stand that will house the eventual auto...

Hi. I have an all in one 20 gallon Red Sea Nano Max. I clean the protein skimmer cup weekly. But there is build up at the bottom of the skimmer. How do I best clean that. Do I need to take the entire assembly out? Thank you!
I have the Tunze nano ATO and I have a weird issue with the pump. I have gone thru 3 pumps already and it is always the same issue. New, It will pump water no problem up about 4 ft for a month or 2 then all of a sudden just lose most all pressure. I run the water clean, no kalk, never runs...

Welp… it’s been just about a year since I’ve set up my first reef tank, and like many others, I found myself looking to upsize the tank.
Through this past year, I’ve definitely made plenty of mistakes and certainly felt at times that this maybe wasn’t the hobby for me, but I seriously can’t...

The tank (as of 04/16/20)
See my first post below this list.
TL/DR Design Constraints + Vision
No visible equipment and no background. The tank should evoke an effortless, casual tide pool in my living room with sponges, NPS corals, oddball filter feeding inverts, gorgonians, macros, mushrooms...
Hey Everybody,
I just created my account. This is my first time posting on R2R, but I have been reading and lurking for quite a while now. I recently had to move from Utah to Wisconsin for my last year of college. I sold my fish and brought along my live rock/CUC in a decently-sized...
