Hello everyone! First post and first salt water tank (have some freshwater experience both tanks and large pond) I went with the hello reef kit for the convenience but it also helped with the spouse as well. My question to everyone is how often do you scrape your back glass? Can I put the rock...

Hi! Been lurking for a few days, thought I'd join. Ordered a HelloReef AIO kit to start 15gallon with all name brand stuff. Will be adding a ATO system and likely buying a 6 stage BRD RO/DI unit in the very near future to start everything off right. I look forward to getting a...

Started a new HelloReef Clownfish and Anemone Aquarium about 3 weeks ago. Going through the fishless cycle according to instructions provided by HelloReef. They seem to indicate that after adding Dr Tim's, the cycle would be complete in about a week. Ammonia and Nitrites both spiked the first...

Hi fellow aquarists! In September I purchased my first tank, 15gal, intended for clownfish. I purchased Aqueon's frameless aquarium, tested for leaks and originally set it up with Pacific Ocean Water. Using classic gravel and the QuietFlow20 I had initial issues with ammonia while I waited for...
