I’m about a year into the aquarium hobby and currently run a successful 75g freshwater tank in my office. After seeing a couple beautiful reef tanks my buddy and his dad have, I finally decided to make the jump into saltwater. I recently started cycling a Red Sea Max Nano G2 XL, and the tank is...

Happy 🪸ChiefinReefin🪸Hey everyone! ☺️ This has been a Looonnnnggggg gap in posting! Lol 😂 and to say the least it’s because Stoney Monti LPS did not survive!!! This is because I was not dosing AFR. Lol.. Newbie mistake. With this set back we decided to re consider our correct steps and what we...

Started this Fluval 13.5 in late July, so it’s been running for about three months now. The tank is mainly LPS with a few softies and some test frags of SPS. Lighting is AI Prime 16HD, tuned toward a slightly blue-heavy spectrum for that deep ocean glow. My favorite pieces right now are the...

Hi, this is my first post here. I have a pico tank (7gal) full of macros and softies. Till recently i thought there aren’t any fish small enough for this tank, until I came upon Trimma cana. I have a few questions about them. 1) what do you guys feed them? Will they accept frozen food? 2) how...

Hello to everyone! I’m new here and new to reef keeping but not new to aquariums in general as I had my first FW tank back in 2009. This year I tried something new, so I’ve got an 8 gallon cube tank. The Aquael Nano Reef 30. I changed the light with a new LED light fixture suitable for reef...

My Nano 24 Gallon tank is finally stable and growing happily, Just want to see peoples nanos and their favorite corals / fish for nano reef tanks! Send some cool pictures :D

I’ve cycled one reef tank so far and i started it with dry rock and live sand. Cycling tanks with dry rock has taken significantly longer than cycling a tank with live rock. I’m setting up a new tank for college. It’s an 18 gallon AIO from cobalt aquatics. planning for a deeper sand bed than...

hey everyone! i just love to see other people's tanks, and i'm curious to take a look into stocking. i'm sure there are others on here who are as well. i have large tanks- and i love them, but nanos will always have my heart. go ahead and share your nano stocking list- coral and fish (love to...

Hi everyone! My name is Bryan and I'm a new reefer who's been keeping freshwater for about 7 years. I love bettas, but I recently started a 15-gallon nano hoping to add a pair of ocellaris clowns in the next month. So far, I have a skunk cleaner shrimp named Jacques and some astrea and...

Hi all, I'm pretty new to reefing and have been in the freshwater side of the hobby for about 7 years now. Almost a month ago, I set up a 15-gallon cube. Unfortunately, I forgot how long the nitrogen cycle lasted (I kept reading zeros across the board and was too eager lol) and ended up jumping...

Ive been having a small outbreak of a Dinoflagellates like algae. Its brown and looks slimy, and as it gets bigger/ longer it producers a bubble at the tip. It grows very fast and I end up siphoning the visible chunks every few days so it doesn't grow over the corals. It seems to irritate most...

Happy with how my Waterbox 20 is coming along. I started this tank in 21 of August from little SPS frags and a macro algae reactor. Simple old Ai prime to which I then added custom 7" bar lights to. I ran that for about 5 months with exceptional growth and then upgraded to a gently used hydra...

I am finally going to be starting my first reed tank, literally years in the making, I am going with a 20 gal. Cube from Waterbox as that’s all I have room for right now. I know it’s difficult starting with a smaller tank but I’m up for the task and I’ve done so much research over the years I...

Well, after starting over 2 months ago, I figure I ought to start an official tank thread so that I can post updates and others can follow along on this journey. I posted in the welcome page about 1 month ago, but I’ll provide a few tank specs so that you can follow along. I have a rimless...

My first saltwater tank, 7g UNS AIO tank. After creeping around the forums and watching Lord knows how many youtube videos, I decided to pull the trigger. I didn't have space for a bigger tank so I decided to go Nano. Any opinions, thoughts, words of advice, as well as suggestions for types of...

I’ve posted a few questions, but figured it was time to do an official tank introduction. I jumped back into reefing after a long hiatus and boy has quite a bit changed. I was young (16-17) when I first started and didn’t really have the knowledge and capability of reef-keeping but now, at 30...

I started with a Waterbox 15 Peninsula.

Hello y'all, I've finally decided to try my hand at keeping corals. Just picked up this lovely 13 gallon aquatop at my local fish store yesterday. I'm gonna start getting supplies together for the build but before that, I would love any and all advice on getting into corals and how best to...

Hi my name’s Ellis, I’ve recently gotten into the saltwater tank hobby and would like some people opinions on my setup I’ve had for around 2 months now. I’m probably doing some things wrong and I always like to hear what other people have to say. I’ll post a pic or two for reference. It’s a 6...

Hello everyone! I wish I had started this thread when I first set this tank up but better late then never! I initially had this tank running as a freshwater tank with guppy fry, I really never wanted it (lol). I felt bad for leaving the fry to die in my 40 gallon breeder with all my other fish...

hello i am new here this is my 15 gallon tank
