nano

Long time lurker, few time poster on R2R, I enjoy reading others' journals so I'm starting an overdue one for my little nano which is over a year old. This will be a good excuse for me to share macro photos and a place for me to track coral growth. Don't remember the exact date I transferred...

Hey everyone, figured i'd make a build thread for my first proper reef tank. I've spent countless hours enjoying and learning from other threads, so i guess mine might be usefull as well. I've had planted freshwater tanks before, and rather than buying all new equipment, i decided to try and...

Going to kick off a new nano build… after extensive deliberations my wife and I agreed to a tank at home. Selfishly, I have my main 300 gal at the office and the kids love seeing it but are rarely there to enjoy it, also we don’t have any other pets. So far the Hello Reef instruction video‘s...

Greetings, Long time lurker. Finally getting going again with a nano tank, so I decided to join. I started so many moons ago when I found an abandoned 35G tank in my fraternity. I started up with freshwater, but unfortunately for my wallet the LFS had a small saltwater room, where I spent most...

So I filled 9 days ago my nano 55L actual water volume , starting biome cycle, bacter added, full dry rocks with mature live rock ruble in back chamber, copepods and phyto added and I started phytoplankton culture to keep dosing, for next month dark start :) Goal for this aquarium is to make...

It has been an interesting month. The mid brace on my four foot tank broke. I threw everything into an emergency 30 gallon while I figured out what to do. Saved a bunch of the live rock and used it to start over. Test frags are all in thanks to friends and various online shops. Tons of bacteria...

Hello friends! I’m based in the UK and just purchased a RedSea Nano 20g (second hand). I’ve done a lot of research and I know that RedSea have some issues, but the tank I’ve bought seems in really good condition and the guy I’ve bought if off had a genuine reason for selling it. There’s...

Got the itch for a new tank. I am limited in space in my living room to go up to a bigger tank, so I decided I was going to build a nano tank in the bedroom. My local fish store Matt's Corals had a sale on the Hello Reef 15 gallon AIO. In order to streamline the cycling process I pulled some...

Brand new in the box. Never used. $50 shipped.

Hi there, I have a 3 month old tank that I turned the lights on a couple weeks ago and started getting algae on the rocks. I’m receiving Scarlet red hermits, some clean up snails, and have a tail spot blenny. Is this algae I should be worried about or will it go away with time? Thanks

Soooo this is my second saltwater tank. Only 6-7 months after joining this hobby, I am putting together a second and if it doesnt demonstrate how much of a hold this hobby has on me already, I dont know what does haha. Well if you havent seen my 1st salwater tank you can find it here: Check out...

Some really expensive and rare corals and fish are included and everything is extremely healthy and happy (I have 20+ years experience in keeping marine fish and corals). This setup includes 2 (extremely custom) biocubes w stands, all livestock and lots of other misc equipment. Looking to sell...

After some life changes, I’m setting up two new reef tanks in my apartment. I still have a Waterbox 160 running (without me) for the past year in my old house that I am going to have to tear down soon. That was live for 4 years before that. Since that won’t fit in my new place, I ordered a...

My son sparked my interest in reef tanks, and once we had his up and running, I went straight to work on my first tank. I’ve never been one for the K.I.S.S. method, or “beginner kits”. I always want to have something different, unique, my own. So I started this half gallon pico waterfall tank...

I am transitioning my nem 4.8G deskmate tank to a 7G sump tank. But I really like the deskmate so plan to use it still. So with that being said. I'm thinking of doing a group of barnacle blennies in the tank. My LFS had some real tiny ones in a pico tank which was cool. Likely juveniles. I...

Going to use this thread to document my most recent build, the 26 gallon Red Sea Max Nano G2 Peninsula build. I am taking a semi budget approach to gear, nothing fancy. Tank and stand was ordered during BRS labor day sale on 9/1. Hopefully ships this Friday. Items I've already received...

I'm really new to the hobby and just set up my tank to begin its fishless cycling period. I've looked through some other threads, but want to ask some questions more specific to my tank and lights :]. First, some background info. I did some tests today, and my parameters are as follows pH 7.7...

Starting off a new build for a second tank in my office. You can see my previous 75 gallon build. Since I'm starting this one from scratch I want to better keep track of all of the highs and lows for my own memory so here we go. Goals The general idea for this tank is to be low-ish tech (no...

Hey everyone, I'm planning an IM 25g Lagoon specifically to support a pair of mandarins. My main goal is to build the ideal copepod habitat, NOT just a reef with some pods, but a full-blown pod engine-farm-machine. I’m already running phyto cultures (nanno and tetra) and copepod cultures...

In my intro, I mentioned that my wife finally aquiesced to my wish for a saltwater aquarium. For the months before, I somehow kept leaving out books on saltwater aquaria and dropping into a couple lfs to wander through their aisles. It started to come together, quickly, with rock, sand, and...

I’m still suffering from my back injury as I type this, but I need to QT a sick anemone so I figured this would be a good chance to get this up and running! After I’m done treating the anemone, I’ll keep it running and just start cycling it I suppose, even if it’ll be a while before it’s ready...

Recently I won a Aqueon 14g rimless tank in an IG post by TFH (thanks to them!) so we have decided to set it up as a nano reef tank. The plan is to take this slow, keep it a small budget, and let it mature well before lights added. I hope for it to become a softy and/or anemone tank in the...

I have a 25 gallon all in one tank. I have 38 corals not including the mushrooms that split. I have 2 kessel a160tuna blues at 30% power and all blue. One AI nero 3 on wave mode at 30% power and two return pumps. One Bubble Magus mini q protein skimmer. Also have a cheato growing in the back...

The tank is on its way! I will make sure to update here with an unboxing and as I add more parts to the tank. I am currently planning on using the tank with a larger focus on growing corals. I am thinking to use a second hand AI Prime as they usually pop up on Facebook marketplace quite often...
