Hey all, new here. This is my Hello Reef tank that's been running for a year now. It's had some up's and downs of course through that time, but this is as it sits now. It has a pair of clowns,a Green Dragonet trained on dry foods,Halloween hermit, blue hermit, and a well stocked snail clean up...
Hey everyone the name is Jerry. I’m from southern California.
I have a son with autism that loves going to our LFS, like most youngsters Finding Nemo sparked his interest, so I’m diving into the hobby! I have a some experience with similar size tanks in freshwater but this is my first dip into...
Hi,

Rebuilt my macro algae tank after moving to Pittsburgh. Hooked up my XR15 Pro since it's idleing. Will be getting more red macro tomorrow.
Please excuse my very chaotic background

What are the Hanna testers recommended to have for corals?
As of now, these are the testers I have on my cart:
•Phosphate
•Alkalinity...

I don’t know if this is the right section to post this in but I wanted to show some pictures of my nano tank. I’m still experimenting with things and have struggled with red acros/digits but I think I’m doing okay. What do you guys think?
I’m prepping for a massive (UNS R90 or 120) upgrade once...
Hey Reefers! I'm a newbie, but learning more every day. I'm just running a nano currently, and I was just curious if the salt I'm running is working against me trying to stabilize my parameters. Because I'm running a nano, larger % water changes happen, which is good for removing the excessive...
So I am doing another project. And planning carefully and mainly all custom.
I want to move away from AIO's but stick with nano size.
Looking at available sumps on the market, they just don't fit the bill. Without giving too much details to spoil the future build. Its a 7G custom tank with...

I have the 13.5 fluval evo. I have 2 DC powerheads that don't have a "stock" backup option (slw-10's). I am trying to figure out the best solution to getting gas transfer in the tank during a power outage, and everyone talks about backing up a powerhead. In the case of my nano, I'm using a sicce...
Hey Reefers! I am reconstructing my aquascape & hoping for your opinion on what direction to head in. For context, this is a 13.5g nano. I intend to keep a mixed reef with a couple fish. Space for coral is the priority for me, but also aesthetics. Keep in mind, scape 1 was my completed...

Hey everyone!
Just added a new 15g IM nano to the absurdly large and continually growing salt and fresh tank collection!

And, it might be a long shot, but I was curious to see if...

Please have a look at my custom reef protein-skimmer and sump i designed.
I want to know if there would be anything you would change.
I am not an expert and want to build a cheap but good quality nano reef tank.
I would love to have some opinions on this.
I had a good amount of fresh water...

Since they’re doing so spectacularly well in my larger tank I am hatching a plan. I’m looking to start a smaller tank (probably 18g) that will be dedicated to one or two Gonis! I’ll also add 1 or 2 small fish, CUC, and a couple of other odds and ends. Stand by for photos and progress reports as...
