Help please! I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Tank is 3 months old. Fish are perfectly fine. But I can not keep corals happy in the slightest and all herbivorous cuc dies within a few days of being added to the tank. Worried that the bright green on the rock is some form of cyano...

Hi Everyone! After a long hiatus, I realized how much I was missing the fish and came back with a small desktop aquarium that I could enjoy on my WFH days. We're definitely in the ugly phase, but I have a bunch of small frags I can't wait to see grow out and take over. It's already making me...

Ignore the mess in the back, but this is what I have put together for my aquascape! There will be a good-sized island to the right, and maybe some other rocks on the sandbed. I have a group of 12 sexy shrimp at the aquaculture lab that will inhabit this tank until it is ready for 1 fish (red...

Hey guys! Currently I have a a Hygger 50w LED light and I wanted it mounted to my ceiling but the hanging wire is only so long. I feel like the light should be closer as it’s 2 feet away right now and the tank is roughly 12-15 in deep factoring in sand. Thoughts?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if it’s safe to feed my inverts (Cleaner Shrimp, Halloween Hermit, Scarlet Hermit Crab, and Electric Blue Hermit) small pieces of frozen or thawed uncooked restaurant-grade Black Tiger Shrimp. I want to make sure this would be a suitable and nutritious food source...

Hi there, I recently discovered my water levels were too high and I normally have my heater in the return chamber of my waterbox 25, but with reducing the water level it makes it difficult to submerge it and I'd rather not put it in the display tank. Any suggestions? I'm curious how people...

Hey guys! Been browsing this forum for months and finally decided to finally make an account! So I have a cycled 20 gallon tank and am considering the following for stocking, just curious if this seems like a good idea or if it’s too many or incompatible fish? Pink-Streaked Wrasse Sharknose...

Really quick question, do I need a saltwater test kit if I have premixed saltwater from a lfs, and I do weekly water changes? I don't see the need for them, if I detect something wrong with my water, i'll do a water change, and if I dont, i'll still do a water change. (nano tanks if that helps)

Hello reefers, I've decided to do a little build thread of my Waterbox Peninsula 25 tank which I started in December 2024. I have always kept freshwater fish and never looked at Marine due to the high costs but after doing some research I realised it shouldn't be too expensive compared to my...

I was about to buy a MiniQ Nano Skimmer until I realized that the ReefCasa Protein skimmer was identical. This made me think, they must get them from the same manufacturer. So i checked Alibaba and sure enough i found exact copies. I guess my question is. Do you think they are the same quality...

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. I was curious if I could put this anemone in a 10 Gallon aquarium—side note what anemone is this? There won't be any other critters for the anemone to worry about—just an anemone tank! Maybe some macro algae eventually. Is this okay/humane? I...

After leaving the Hobby for 10 years I decided to dive back in! Tank is two months old and I couldn’t be happier with the progress and finally applying the knowledge I’ve learned over the years! (Keep pests and Algae away) To cycle tank dry rock, live sand Half bottle of Ammonia Chloride and...

Hi everyone, I have a 15 gallon nano almost a year old. Unfortunately, it is the coral 12G tank, so I'm aware the pump and lights are not the best, but I've slowly been upgrading it. The tank has been fine but I upgraded all my testing kits and the phosphates have been obsurd. Parameters...

Hi all, This is my first post as a new member! I currently have a BioCube 32 that is just over 2 years old (my first saltwater tank). It is stocked with: -Pair of occelaris clownfish - Yellow watchman goby and tiger pistol shrimp pair -Green bubble tip anemone and a very tiny rainbow bubble tip...

What’s up everyone, thanks for stopping by! A little backstory… Almost 10 years ago exactly, in 2015, I joined the a different forum community to start my saltwater journey, and hopefully find some friends along the way. If I remember correctly, I started with a Fluval Evo 5 gallon. I loved...

This is my second nano. This tank has been up for 3 years but I just re-did the whole thing using all the same live rock, sand, and a few of the corals (most are new). I've had these 2 clowns (DaVinci Extreme from Sea & Reef) for over 7 years. I have also taken on a challenge, it was one of the...

Looking for a AIO style nano tank between 5-10 gallons (accessories welcome as well) Definitely looking for a more budget friendly option so I can focus on NPS corals and live food later down the road

Hey what's up everybody, I've been lurking on this forum forever so and have never actually done a build thread... with the new tank build I think it's time. I got into reefing in highschool some 15 years ago and had tanks on and off, trying different things along the way. For this one I wanted...

Hello ya'll! I have an Innovative Marine Fusion 20Long AIO. It came with two 5W/24V return pumps each rated at 130GPH. I see that IM also sells the Mightjet 326GPH pump. Would it make more sense to have two pumps equaling 260GPH or one pump doing 326GPH? Right now i BARELY turn on my...

Every time i bring up Goniopora to my LFS or friends in the hobby, they tell me it is still too soon for a Goni and i need to have patience and i need to wait longer. So, i have been waiting as patiently as i can but i don't know how long i should even wait! My parameters all seem pretty good, i...

This will be my 2nd tank build apart from my 62g lagoon. Decided to repurpose some of my freshwater gear. --Gear-- Tank: UNS 60s 10 gallon lagoon Heater: Flat aqueon - generic idk the wattage Filter: Delta 60 canister - debated drilling and using a sump but i wanted to keep this minimal so...

In the process of getting a new bedroom tank set up.. 20 gallons, wider than it is tall Thoughts: 1) been there done that with the clownfish pairing, have a pair in my downstairs 125 gallon so not too fussed about going down the clownfish route. 2) I don’t mind the sand sifting goby’s, but...

Hey everyone, I just have a quick question—probably stupid one, but here we go... I have a nano aquarium of 10.5 gallons. After a long break of the hobby, I had lost some motivation. But I recently got back into. Currently, i only have one shrimp, 2 snails, and a 3 hermit crabs. I'm using a...
