Building a fully automated mixed reef tank. Its been a while and I'm a bit salty... Harry Potter collectable room with HP themed tank. 3D printing Hogwarts stuff and I'm getting close to install. I had to add some height to get the stand level in that tray so I could open the doors without...

I recently acquired this tank. so decided to make it into a reef tank. 3rd week into cycling used rodi water and added turbo start 900. Ghostfeeding to add some ammonia. A few days ago I noticed some long dark spots in the substrate ill attach photos. my question is. Is this normal?

Hi, I have been a freshwater fishkeeper for more than 8 years. But I have recently started a saltwater system. Prior to purchasing my first saltwater tank, I did as much research as possible (about a year long). And talked to a lot of experienced reef tank owners. Then when the time came, I set...

Hey guys, so, my fiance and I are going to be moving out of state by this time next year (hopefully) and wanted some outside opinions on what to do with our fish tanks. We have a 75 gallon and a 32 biocube. Neither of us feel comfortable moving glass tanks in the back of a u-haul. My fiance...

I recently set up my new saltwater aqurium and bought some live rocks and sand. I saw this tiny green leaf thingy sticking out of one of the live rocks. Do u guys think this is the start of macro algea growing? I think the rock came with it, aleardy attachted on there.

In fresh water tanks you can have decorations and statues that are safe for the ecosystem. But in reefing the parameters are extremely stringent and less for giving. i want my aquascape to contain a statue that has meaning to me as a focal point. At this point the objective is to have a...

I have been doing saltwater for about 8 years and just decided to make the switch. Looking forward to learning and sharing with you all!

Just thought I’d share this video of my new 20G High aquarium. Going to be picking up some live rock with some mushrooms and green star polyps from a fellow hobbyist. Can’t wait until it’s all aquascaped! My clown doesn’t know what to do with all that swim space!

Just wondering if my reefer 170 is okay being a tad unleveled. I filled it up with water over the weekend and noticed based on the water line that it’s unleveled. I used my iPhone as a level and apparently that is not very accurate. Here are the measurements of the water line from the water line...

Hi I'm new here, I have started a new reef tank.. it been 20 years since my last setup..

I ordered my Red Sea Reefer 525XL last night & want to see if my equipment list looks reasonable. I am brand new to reef aquariums, so this is all still somewhat Greek to me! Feel free to point out where my attempt at logic may have failed already :p Equipment List -Tank: Red Sea Reefer 525xL -...

Hi everyone, Came across this forum while trying to get info on how to setup a saltwater tank.I Have had freshwater tanks for last 7-8 yrs. Even got a chance to setup a nursery tank in my tank by catching frys as they were being born, since i had guppies, mollys breeding. While that has been...
