Andie's First Saltwater Aquarium Hey everybody! Today I figured I'd start a build thread on the progression of my first reef tank. It is a tad late, as the tank is already 3 months old, but I reckoned I'd just start here. So, rewind to September 2020. I had just set up my first planted aquarium...

Morning all, Was wondering if it would be alright to keep RBTA's in a basket in my 20 gal for a few months. I have the opportunity to get them nems dirt cheap and would like to pick em up while I can. I would be keeping them in a basket with a magfloat while my nano nem only tank cycles. How...

"Another" Waterbox Cube 20 Build Thread About me I'm a 26yo IT student from Belgium, and this will be my first (fresh/salt-based-)aquarium. Ever since I was little I always had cats around -- and for the later part of my life, a lovely dog too. Fish / corals are however something completely...

I may or may not have been bit by the saltwater bug... Thinking about setting up a Nano (10-15 Gal) tank of BTA and some clowns. Would be using this as a QT tank for new frags (on a small rack) and keeping and propagating Nems. In the long term is this possible? I would be able to set up the...

I started my reefing journey during the pandemic, and now I am obsessed…

Hi, I have a 35ltr tank, a little under 10 us gallons. I'm trying to get the flow right, but power heads seem to powerful. I've used the Tunze 6015 nano, too big and huge flow, too much. I currently have the return pump sicce micra+ and an ehiem CompactOn 600 as the only flow. The ehiem is too...

After searching for refugiums for my 20 gallon salt tank i found little to nothing that would work or was sold to fit that product need. I was wondering if anyone else has found a company that makes this, or has any experience making their own? I made my own using a breeder box then adding a...

New nano reef tank I’ve been working on. Just got a lot of great deals on a nice selection of frags. I’m excited to see this start to fill out. I’m going a make a few adjustments but this is the setup at the moment

Hey Everyone, now that I've settled into my new place and finally found the tank I was looking for I'm ready to get back into it. My tank crashed during the move and lost all my coral and was only able to save a single clownfish and a yellow tail damsel. Picked up a used Red Sea Max C-130, the...

Hello everyone. I've been waiting to start this build for quite a while. For some background, this tank was originally my first successful reef tank. While it only ran for just over a year, it was quite a rewarding experience. Learning the ropes, doing the research, and of course, the payoff...

Anyone have any advice for filtering 25 gallons on eventual heavy bio load? I have a Waterbox peninsula mini 25 which has a protein skimmer chamber that is 6.8” by 3.1”. This rules out the Tunze 9004 and the IceCap K1-50. Would a regular media setup (GFO, carbon) combined with a Tunze 9001 be...

Hi everyone! I’m setting up a 9 gallon nano tank next month that I want to make into a macroalgae dominated tank. My idea is to be able to stock things in this tank that I’m not able to put in a reef tank but will still be safe with macros if that makes sense. I’m open to any types of fish and...

So I just went to a frag swap ran by local businesses and got a bunch of frags (as is tradition). Put them into my 10 gallon and was disappointed because the colors were not matching up to what I saw at the swap. They were under my budget aquaknight v1 light ($70) The hammers looked dull and a...

Hey, I'm new here. I have some freshwater tanks and I decided to take the plunge into saltwater since I think reef tanks look awesome! Equipment @Waterbox Aquariums Peninsula Mini 25 Kraken Reef lid AI Prime 16HD Coralvue Hydros 2 and Hydros XS with a water level sensor to prevent sump run...

Hello all. I just recently joined but I have come across an issue with the design for a tank I am making. I want to have a black background, but I can't paint the outside becuase of its design. The black divider pictured will be made of glass, but that is what I want to be black. But how can I...

Hope you night is going well! Check out my Anemone and clowns. Any Nano Anemone tanks out there?

Hi All, I have a 24 cal cube, looking to keep LPS ands softies along with fish. I currently have 2 Ocellaris clownfish and would like to add in the future (in order of preference) helfrichi firefish Diamond Goby Pistol Shirmp Bangii Cardinal (2?) Would this be okay in regards to compatibly...

Hey everyone, I just recently got an apex and am looking to set up some auto water changes with the dos system and have a couple questions: -If I have a 20g tank, is it hurtful to do a 1 gallon a day water change? I currently do a manual water change about once a week with 4 gallons or so...

I want to preface this with a disclaimer that I am a novice reefer, with under a year's worth of experience and learning all the time. That said, I've wanted to post a build thread for a while as I have the impression more and more people are using canister filters on small reef tanks, yet I...

Hey everyone this will be my second tank build. I had a 25 gal bio cube years ago when I was living in Hawaii. I'm excited to venture into more corals since I've moved. Hawaii had very strict regulations on corals you could keep. Follow along as I setup this tank and see if the second time...

Link to my new AIO thread build: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/aquatop-40g-aio-formerly-29g-build.815779/ Hello Hello! Finally after months of research and gathering equipment, I was finally able to setup my 29 gallon tank yesterday evening. Please excuse the heater and the huge powerhead...

After having lurked on several forums for over five years I finally got an amazing deal on a tank I should have bit the bullet on a long time ago. The plan is to have a pretty simple fish only tank at first until I upgrade the lights. Eventually I know I’m going to get coral. I’m not expecting a...

Hey Everyone I’m fairly new here. I have an EVO 13.5 that cycled a month ago and I’m just taking my time making sure i can do water changes and the chemistry stays well. Which iv been successful in that so now I’m looking at what to put in. As an end gold i would love to have 3-4 fish. Maybe...

Hi, I am getting a wrasse for my fluval evo 13.5. I will have it with 1 clownfish and a shrimp goby pair. I am deciding between a pyjama pinstripe wrasse or a tanakas Pygmy possum wrasse. Which would be better or does it not matter?

Hi there, I'm looking to add some extra blue lights to my stock Fluval Evo setup. Not looking at expensive lights at the moment as am planning a larger setup in the future. The stock light is capable as so I've read, though there is just too much white light and not enough blue. Not the most...
