new 40

I am newer to the hobby. I used to have a 29G Saltwater tank about 10 years ago and am confident that I've forgotten everything but I do remember really enjoying it. I made the decision to jump back in. I was going to start with a 55G tank but was talked out of that by the worker at my LFS...

Attached below are some pics of my reef tank which is a 40 gallon tall tank. It's not the final product yet, but it's a start, and it sure has some promising potential. I've got a couple kinds of zoas, 2 hammers, 1 much smaller than the other, lots of GSP, a leather, some candy cane, and 2...

I just got my first ever reef tank and it's been amazing. I have had the tank about 3 weeks to a month now. It (now) has two hermit crabs, 5 snails,two damsels and one small polyp of a green star polyp. All doing well minus the recent hermit crab dying. I have two questions: 1. Should I do...

Update: Once I added a HOB refugium to my sumpless 40B, it was game over. The tank started leaking within a week because the extra weight pulled the tank too far out of level. As such, I upgraded to a Red Sea Reefer 250. If you'd like to start there, click here. If you'd like to read through my...

Hi guys, so I am brand new to this community and I figured I’d ask a few questions. I have been keeping aquariums on and off most of my life. I just recently started getting back into the hobby and I set up a new 40 gallon FOWLR tank about a month ago. I used Fritz Turbostart 900 to cycle the...

I've been out of the hobby for about 15 years. I used to have a small nano, and my brother was the one with all the tanks. I started scouring Craigslist and other mediums to find a used tank. I found this 40 breeder not too far from my home for $20. So far I've removed the blue paint on the...

Hello! I am an ex-marine biologist (now engineer). I worked in husbandry at a landlocked aquarium for 4 years. I have been missing my love for tanks, specifically my saltwater babies. A fried has a Tiger Oscar that has outgrown their tank and has upgraded to a 75 gallon. Thus, I have an empty...
