new tank

I’m using a biocube 32 and water from the lfs this time, as piecing together a system and trying to clean tap water were my biggest hurdles last time. So far so good, yes I was impatient when adding corals, but they are all extending polyps and putting on signs of growth. Blue leg hermits...

So I recently transferred my fish to a new tank 15 gallon to 20. Two clowns, a goby, and a fire shrimp. I transferred all the live rock, even biometric I had in the back chambers. New sand and switched waters came from Red Sea Coral Pro the Red Sea Salt. Left for work everything looked fine...

I am moving my waterbox 90 to a new waterbox 230. It is a mixed reef tank with about 14 fish inverts SPS LPS and softies. Any suggestions the best way to do this? I bought new chandler tock and want to bring my old rock over as well. Also I have used continuum supplement for coral growth and...

Hello to everyone! I am new (again) to this hobby but looking forward to getting back into it. I had a 40g tank in the past (about 15 years ago) and I'm ready to get back into the hobby and I am looking at ordering the Biocube 32g. I am looking to see what are some reputable websites to use to...

I am starting a new tank, peninsula layout, 140x60x60 cm (55.2x23.6xi23.6 inches), 500L (133 gallons). I don't have ideas to the rockscape because: 1. I have a tank already with some rock but I'm not sure if I am gonna use it at all, probably just to cycle new possible rock (need some help and...

Hi Everyone - I'm new here and have been lurking for a while, but finally am experiencing something for which I could use some tailored advice. Would appreciate thoughts from anyone. Background: I ran a fishless cycle over the course of a month in late December / January. The tank completely...

I was gifted a large acrylic tank about 10 years ago and absolutely loved it. Everything was set up for me when I got it so didn’t have to do much other than change the water from time to time. Had to move to a small condo about 6 years ago and put the tank in storage. Just bought a home and...

Hey everyone, I am upgrading from a 30 gallon to a 60 gallon. The 30 gallon will be at my old apartment whereas the new tank will be in my new home so this will have to be done in a day. My plan is to transfer the existing 30 lbs of rock, 30 gallons of water, filter media, and the sand along...

This is everything I ordered for my nano tank setup, let me know what you think! All in all - it's about 2 grand, minus the livestock. Pretty crazy for just 15 gallons... but whatever. Hello Reef 15 gallon AIO w/ stand (~ $230) Norwesko 16 gallon utility tank (for water storage) ~$150 6...

I bought a new 125G recently that has two corner overflows. During the water test I noticed that water was flowing from the main portion of the tank into the overflow section, once there is more than an inch of water in the tank. I reached out to the manufacturer and they said it was a defect...

I’ve had the Fluval Evo for the last year which was a good introduction to the hobby and I’ve achieved moderate success with it but I’m ready to upgrade to something larger. I am considering something in the 40-80 gallon range that features just 2-4 really large colonies of coral that I grow...

My salinity is usually sitting at 34ppt, calcium has been reading 435 over the past two months and I regularly do 5 gallon water changes once a month. Tank is a 13.5 fluval evo. The neon green trumpet coral hasn’t been looking to good and I moved my copper zoas from the sand to the top of the...

Hey GANG! I’m on 6 days in with live stock; 3 snails 3 hermit crabs 2 (2inches each) clownfish PS Been feeding half block of frozen food and a few food pellets. Here are my testing after today’s water change. I feel like this isn’t where it should be, how do we over come this? (Would a...

Hi there, I have a 3 month old tank that I turned the lights on a couple weeks ago and started getting algae on the rocks. I’m receiving Scarlet red hermits, some clean up snails, and have a tail spot blenny. Is this algae I should be worried about or will it go away with time? Thanks

I have about 8 week old 160L Saltwater tank with my cleanup crew, about 5 turbo snails and 2 blue legged hermits and added 2 clownfish about 2 weeks ago. All is going good so far. Over the past week some white stringy stuff is appearing attached to the rocks I have in there. Is this Algae...

Hi All, I need some advice on more colorful additions or what I could maybe add to this tank. (I was possibly looking at a Banana wrasse or a red/yellow colored wrasse) I have upgraded my Marineland 90 gallon to a AGA 125 Gallon, operating at almost 7 turnovers every hour. Livestock: 3"...

Hi all from fabulous Las Vegas, Today marks day one of this adventure I had began thinking about 15 years ago when I saw my first reef tank as a young teenager. A couple weeks ago my 2 boys (4 and 2) were obsessed with my BIL's Gecko, so I decided to surprise them with a reef tank while they...

Hi all, Upgrading my tank from a Prostar 150 (4-ft) to a new 230.6 Waterbox. Unfortunately, patience is not one of my best virtues. I had ordered the new Waterbox on/around 04-August, and it was noted that the tank is on backorder and would ship before August 31st. I called Waterbox today...

Hi so I just started a new tank and it’s been cycling for about 2 weeks. I used live sand, dry rock with, fritz fishless fuel, and turbostart 900 bottle bacteria. Gotten my ammonia up to 2ppm then added the bottle bacteria then a day or two later tested and the ammonia was at 0ppm and my nitrite...

Hi! I'm Window, I'm 17, and I'm new to Reef2Reef and very new to reefing in general. My dad surprised me with a 20 gallon Waterbox cube (and some equipment) yesterday, after I had been wanting to start a tank for a while. Now that I've got this stuff, it's up to me to build and take care of the...

Hey All, I am a fresh water guy dipping my toes (or going head first) into salt. I have just started the cycle 3 days ago. I dosed the tank up to 1 ppm Am with Dr. Tims AmCl solution. I was a bit hesitant to go to high in Am as I am worried about getting too much Nitrate at the end of the...

Does anybody have experience with this tank? I was going to get the Redsea 350 but I don’t think I’ll take my chances. Does Fiji cube have a good reputation with there larger tanks?
