So for a few weeks now my calcium has tested at 280-310 which I obviously would like to get up to closer to the 400-450 range. The only thing is my alkalinity has been fine at a steady 8.2. Is there a good way I can raise my calcium without it affecting my alkalinity?
Hey all! Been meaning to start a thread on here but got busy with life. Anyway, I had an IM10 SPS tank in highschool and sold everything (idiot move) when I moved to Colorado for college, thinking that I wouldn't set up another tank until I had my own House. That lasted for about 3 years and...
I’ve read in the past that blenny and goby shouldn’t be together, however recently I have read that as they occupy different space they get along fine?
Any experiences/suggestions?
I have plenty of live rock, caves, holes, ledges and areas that break apart the whole tank.
If this could work...
Wanted to share my experience upgrading the lighting on my Biocube 14 to LED.
I like the look of the top lid so i didn't want to remove the lid and have an open top.
My solution was pretty simple. and keeps the clean look.
I purchased a Fuval Marine Nano light from amazon $90 (Make sure to...
I am new and researching tanks. I’m looking at a 8-20G.
what size tank do you need to not need a cooler? I understand there are many variables, but in general.
thanks
I am considering stocking a 12 gallon tank with a Goby and Pistol Shrimp pair, (Wheeler's Shrimp Goby or a similar Goby and Randall's Pistol Shrimp), Tail Spot Blenny, and a Clown Gobby. Is this overstocking? If so, what should I remove? Some people say on other threads that this is good, but...
I have a 9 gallon reef tank that I obsess over a bit too much. I have dumped way too much money into the thing (although I know I could do more if I had the space). I’ll try and keep this brief but basically I need some pointers getting to the next level with sps. Personally, I think my numbers...
Hello Everyone,
Backstory: A friend of mine had this tank for about 2 years and couldn't take care of it anymore so she gave it to me. It came with a clownfish, coral banded shrimp, a couple snails, conch, and the damsel. When I got the tank it was in rough shape so the day I got it I did a 50%...
So ive noticed this algae popping up in my tank over the past few weeks. It is on the sandbed and rocks and I have looked it up and have not been able to identify it. It is almost fuzzy little balls that coat the surface of my sand and rocks. It definitely doesn’t appear to be one of the...

Hey all, just wanted to document my journey with my 13.5 gallon reef tank. Had the tank up and running since august 20th. Added fish on the 13th of September along with some cleanup crew containing one peppermint shrimp and 3 snails. So far I’ve been feeding pretty heavy and haven’t had any...
I suppose "large" depends on what you're use to. I'm just wondering if anyone has specific examples of or experience with tanks dedicated to tiny creatures? Rather than being stocked around minimum sizes, or a mixture of large and small. The closest I've seen are clownfish harems.
Half a dozen...
Just showing off my tank. Hope this could belong here... if not let me know.
My friend wanted a video to show his kid so figured why not post it here, too?
Here's what I have running:
-Fluval 13.5, stock filtration, stock lighting
-Have a laser cut media basket, haven't used it yet. waiting...
Still a work in progress, planning to eventually add corals, but no more fish.
- evo 13.5
- two mocha clowns (paired)
- live rock from Florida
- a bunch of hitchhikers
not much right now, but eventually I hope it is full of corals!!
First dive in to saltwater, going slow since I'm still wrapping up summer projects. I just want it up before Christmas! Here goes nothing!
What I have or ordered so far:
Tank - Fluval Evo 13g, dang Petco sales make it too easy.
Sand - Carib Sea Special Grade - waiting
Rock - Carib Sea South...
I have the opportunity and pleasure of working with @noopsyche on being a tester for the new and thus far amazing Noopsyche K7 mini 60w wifi led light. This light was worth the wait and did take some time to ship but arrived and was immediately unboxed. Check out the unboxing video. I really...
Background
I started in the hobby a little over two months ago with a Juwel Rio 240 litre (65 US gallons) tank and a female peacock mantis shrimp named Oatmeal (after the author of this comic). I put two small clownfish in there with her and she didn't treat them with the love and kindness I'd...
Hey, wanted to ask what everyone's thoughts were on nano refugiums, and if it would be any use for nitrate reduction in my scenario.
I have the 20 gallon JBJ nano cube AIO that you can see here https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/20-gallon-nano-rimless-aio-aquarium-jbj.html and it's been doing...

Hi all! My names Alex and thanks for having me.
I’ve just dipped my toes in to the YouTubing world as a way of documenting my journey…
After years of keeping sharks and fish only systems I decided I’d like a mixed reef!
So here we go! The journey starts here. If anyone is happy to take the time...
So I recently started my new tank which is a 32 gallon biocube. I did a fishless cycle using dr tims ammonium chloride and one and only. The tank cycled completely normally in a little under 2 weeks. About a week after cycling I got my first fish which was a flame hawk which is a fish I have...
