nano

Looking for a good deal on a icecap K1 nano skimmer . Thanks

In the process of handling a 125 and I ended up with this CVUE 40 all in one. I thew together a quick aquascape, filled it, added some seeded rock and macro algae to the refugium and started the cycle. what would you do with this tank? I’m genuinely interested in some unique ideas, here are...

Hi Everyone! So I decided to post my first build thread to R2R! I currently have an SCA 80 gallon FOWLR that has been running for over 1 year and after finding a good petco sale on the Fluval 13.5 / redoing my office I decided I wanted to start a nano reef for the office(thinking this would be...

Hello everyone!! I hope your holidays were very merry and bright. I have made my return some of you may remember me as "AndysReef" I joined back in 2016 and took a break in 2018. I am now a sophomore and college and during this pandemic and my winter break, I decided to come back tp the hobby...

I contacted Red Sea this week (screenshot below), asking if I could put a week's worth of AB+ in a jar or something, and then dose through my BRS 1.1ml per minute doser to my SPS-dominant 20G nano. Specifically, I asked if I would need to flush the lines in between (given the slow doser and the...

We bought this tank a year ago. We had had small freshwater tanks before and my daughter had a betta tank. We were interested in getting a new tank and my husband was interested in saltwater but I was scared of them. The guy at the lfs convinced me that it wasn’t any harder than maintaining a...

Start of my first full SPS aquarium located bedside My first experience with wood work doing my own stand for the still needs covers I plan on just painting some high end plywood adding trimming and holding it on with magnets. My sump won’t be fitting under my stand (bad craftsmanship on my...

Some of you may have seen my post about a month ago on wanting to grow bubble algae as my moms Christmas present. Well I did it, and this is the build thread for that tank...

Hello, I'm Christian from Austria, Tirol, mountain side. I startet 30 years ago. I run now a 90l tank and had a brake from 5 years and feel like a beginner again. The biggest fail, thinking all the pumps are still running after 5 years storage. i'm here to learn and improve my knowledge about...

When I saw this tank, I knew I had to have it. I had never bought an aquarium brand new - I have always bought used but this one deserved to be my first brand new purchase. I started piecing it together a little before Black Friday and used the deals available on Black Friday to get the parts I...

Hello all, wanted to post some progress photos. Finally got everything so I could start building. This is my first time doing a nano and so far its alot of fun. I used Marco Rocks because I wanted to try something different and plan on making this a no hitchiker/no ich tank. Say what you will...

Hello fellow reefers from Michigan, A little background on myself. I am new to reef 2 reef but have been in the hobby since 2004. Over the years I have had several systems with my last 2 being mostly sps with a few of my lps favorites. Both torn down and sold off around moving. My last system...

Hi just started a nano tank for like 6 months now. The cycle took me like 1 month. It's around 4gal 15liter tank running without a skimmer. Tech: For filtration, I use an HoB with some filter floss and Chemi pure blue. Lights are Jeabo ak70 running around 40% Slice nano wavemaker pointed at...

I’ve recently had an outburst of critters in the return section of my nano aquarium. My water parameter haven’t changed, livestock is happy, so I’m left wonder what these are and if I should remove them by cleaning out the return chamber. Any and all insight and suggestions are much appreciated.

I have a frag of zoas that was growing really well. Today one was closed up, and I noticed what I’ve identified as zoa pox. I’ve read a lot of speculation online, but haven’t found a direct answer. Is zoa pox contagious through the water, or is does it have to be touching another colony? I did...

Hello everyone! I’m happy to show you my progress so far. This my new nano setup, it’s coming up to 4 weeks now. Let me know what you think! Also, what fish do you recommend I add next and how long should I wait to do so?

Hey guys, here is my very first saltwater tank. I’m very excited!!! I’ve wanted to start one for years now and I finally did. Any advice for a new reefer? Especially on how to deal with diatoms? I’m on week 4 now and it’s starting to explode!

going to be upgrading an IM20 to an IM30...since im currently documenting the IM20 progress in my waterbox20 build thread, I thought the new tank deserved it’s own thread!! IM20 is about 18 months old, I got it used off of CL as a full setup. goals of upgrade: more horizontal space for various...

Didn’t know if this belonged in critter ID or fish discussion, so here I am. I had my first reef tank about 4 years ago (has been broken down since) and found this photo of a blenny I had, and wasn’t able to identify it. Any thoughts? It was sold as a rhino blenny, but was obviously not that. Is...

Got a couple questions about this 10g aquarium I just set up. I have experience without larger 50g + aquariums. The light I’m running on it is a current orbit marine pro led 24”. I know the light is to powerful for the tank so I turned it down to 30% white and 60% blue. I have no experience with...

So uh, yeah this is probably a pretty unusual question. How do you intentionally grow bubble algae? For a bit of background my whole family are huge nerds. My mom is a botanist, my brother is a geologist (almost done with his degree,) and I am a 3d artist. While rockhounding about a month ago...

Hey reef2reef, a lot has happened since I was last active 3 months, but imma take it back about 3 years. About three years ago I got into the idea of having a saltwater tank and after saving all my money for about 6 months and I purchased a tank, rock, sand, heater, and quarantine tank set up as...

Just wanted to share some pics of the nano today. Still got some work to do, but at 4 months old & my first saltwater tank, I am very proud! All the fish are happy/healthy & 95% of the corals are thriving. Fighting the last bits of cyano after consistently overdosing Red Sea AB+ for about 2...

Hello. I have a 20g reef tank and ultimately I want it to be set for success. I kinda wanna incorporate a star fish and maybe taking out the snails? Or a diamond watch goby to help the sand bed? As of the moment I have 4 snails and two hermits for my clean up crew. I also have 3 fish. A black...
