Hi everyone,
Longtime lurker, first time poster. I've had my tyree toadstool for about a year now. I started with a 5g tank, and boy did he grow quick! In July I set up a 10g IM Nuvo. I let it cycle for a couple months, added some hermits and a goby, a couple zoas, all is well (nitrates are a...
Intro
Hi Everyone. It has been awhile since I posted here, so hello again! I am starting a little project to downsize my current tank, which you can see here: link. I want to downsize to an all-in-one that will sit on my desk here:

The reason for downsizing...
How many fish is to many? I’ve been told no more than 5. Then again I been told 9 if they’re small goby fish. Or like 6 small and a 1 or 2 medium fish.
Rn I have a fire fish, green goby, and a hectors goby. I was planning to add like 4 more at most probably.
Plz help.

Hey there, I’m starting a new tank and would like to document it separately from my past builds/main build thread.
I’ve been out of the hobby for about two years. Now, a few moves and a divorce later(but no worries, much better off!) here I am, back on r2r and making another tank :p;)
In my...
I have a sps Nano dom tank with a few others but mainly sps. But need it more automated, as that I am not always home for a week at a time. But I am able to go over when needed. If it is needed.
as far as automation: when power goes out what a good system that turns on when power goes out for...
Hello all,
I started a nano 5-gallon softies and LPS reef tank with live rock and regular sand 3 months ago. The tank cycled well, currently, an Ocellaris and a cleaner shrimp along with a snail are its only inhabitants. Got some Zoas, mushrooms, GSP, Xenia and a Torch.
Two weeks ago my...
hey all, ive had some red/brown spots showing up on my sand, lately its gotten a little worse and I don't really feed a whole lot. I got a test done at my lfs last week and everything was zero, (except nitrate which was like 5ppm or w.e) which can obviously be a problem. ive started to feed on a...

Greetings! I've been keeping freshwater planted tanks for a couple years now, and after much hesitation, decided to try put saltwater! I currently only have a 2 month old 20 gallon, where I plan on keeping macroalgae, some softies, and a couple small fish and inverts. I'm hoping I can apply some...

Hello hello! I'm back! After a feud with my landlord, I was able to set up a reef once again! It's smaller than my last, at only 10 gallons, but I have a really pretty rimless tank and I'm excited to get to do this again! In addition, I got a job at my LFS, so I've been able to learn things...
Hello!
I started reefing 2 years ago. When I was still living in Brazil. At that time, I was learning a lot with youtube videos. Berlin method is widely promoted, so for a new guy, I thought this was the only way to reef. My first AIO lasted a bit more than a year until I had to move to the US...
