Hey guys, I'm planning a tank that will basically be a reboot from my first nano tank that I decided to tear down and re-do. With the space, I realized I can upgrade from a 10 to a 20H, and while I'd much prefer a 20L, I don't have the space for it. But if I can fit more water volume that'd be a...

Hi all, Going to be buying a 25 gallon innovative marine AIO lagoon tank this evening when I get off of work. The last used tank I bought had a ton of problems (though I never found out if it was because the tank was used). That being said, are there any precautions I should take when I buy...

Hi Guys, It's been a few years since I've posted here because I've been tankless :( But now I'm working on planning my next build! However, I need your help. I'm stuck between the Innovative Marine 25 Gallon Lagoon or the 40G Cube(ish). I live in an apartment, and my lease renews in October...

The title says is all, what is the meaning of a mature tank. I have read hundreds of threads about fellow reefers loosing frags and the saying the tank isn't seasoned enough, or the tank isn't mature enough comes up a lot, myself included. OK, I get it, but how long then. What is needed to be...

Hello guys, I have a 55 gallons salt tank.. I moved it and made the mistake of using the same sand bed.. ever since then I’ve had phosphate issues.. I’m in the process of buying a new tank. I’m getting a 90 gallon and moving everything from my 55 gallon into it.. gonna buy new sand and...

As many of you know, we all get the urge to upgrade. And that urge has hit me hard. I have been saving for awhile now, and selling off gear. I now have $4500 for a new tank! I have some ideas about what I want and I have been looking at some options for tanks including Red Sea and custom...

Blank Slate by divetoday posted Jun 28, 2018 at 10:56 AMThis is my first-ever tank build thread, but I am setting up a new frag tank and wanted to document the progress. FWIW, I've had lots of FOWLR tanks (since 1976!), but only got into reefing about 6 years ago. Since then, I've suffered from...

This is some of my little diy project (not the tank) . Waiting for the tank, it is a UNS tank 68G 22x36x22. Everything will be up in October. First time build so the stand does not look so nice :)

Hello everyone. Im finally feeling the need for a new tank and I've decided on a deep blue reef ready 35g 20x20 cube. So far my tanks have all been small (12x12 cubes or a 15g aqueon fowlr). As such i never did sumps, just hang on filters filled with chemipure and purigen + live rock. As such...

There is MASSES of information online about what to do or not do when you start up your first reef aquarium and if were brutally honest it can be quite daunting! Ive begun to put together a multi part series on YouTube documenting setting up your very own saltwater reef tank and each episode...

Im looking for a sump that has a refugium and is capable of handling a 130 gallon tank. I really don't want to break the bank on this. Ive been looking at the ice cap sumps and its really nice these have a ATO built right in. If anyone has any suggestions for a reasonable price id be very...

Ok guys, I’ve set up my innovative marine 30L a few months ago and now I’m looking for more stuff to add to it. I currently have 2 clownfish, 1 Royal Gramma Basslet, 1 Tailspot Blenny and 1 orange parwn Goby. 2 large elctrtic orange hermit crab, 2 eclectic blue, 4 blue leg hermit, 5 Trouchas...

So I've had a heck of a new year. I broke down my 75 gallon reef tank, which anybody who's done it knows how big a pain that is, but I did it because I didn't have the time for the upkeep. Anyway I stuffed as much as I could into a 10 gallon, and it turned out to be a pretty cute looking tank...

Hey folks! Posting this here as well as this is both an introduction to me as well as the tank that I am working on, so if you already read this you can skip down to the link below. I attached a GOOGLE SHEET, with what I am thinking about buying and you can comment as well! So new to the forum...

Hey folks! So new to the forum and starting my salt water adventure. Background about me - I work for a gaming computer company and we ship computers all over the world and I manage the chaos :). Anyway, I have a 46 gallon bow front tank that I have had for 6 years with very little hoopla and...

Hi all! My boyfriend has had his 30 gallon tank for awhile but I just got my first tank (a 10 gallon Nuvo) last weekend. I know there is a difference between watching someone else do something and doing it for yourself. I cycled the water with salt water from the store we buy from, live sand...

So 2 years after my new home purchase, I am now getting back into my salt water addiction. This will be my 3rd tank, but really my first "Adult" setup. I finally have enough room for a full size sump, refugium, and an observation tank. This should put the total system volume to just above 245...

I am new to the saltwater aquarium hobby and havent had any problems until now. Started tank beginning of october 2017, 13.5 gallon fluval. Mid November I upgraded to a 55 gallon using extra cycled media from the small tank, caribsea live sand, and additional dry rock. The first week of the new...

I just took over a tank from a friend. She gave me about 45 pounds of live rock, 2 ocellaris, 1 dottyback, 2 striped damsels, a decorator crab, and 1 cleaner shrimp. She had them all in a 40-gallon breeder with a cheap protein skimmer. I just moved it all to my 50-gallon with a 20-gallon sump...

Hey guys, how is t going? I’m a professional photographer based in New York New to the reefing hobby. Here is a shot of my recently upgraded Innivative Marine 30L Shot on a Hasselblad H6Dc 100mp with the 80mm f/2.8

Hey guys, how is it going? I’m here to share my new tank, I’ve upgraded from a DIY 20 gallon petco tank with a HOB to an Innovative Marine 30L. I had to upgrade the pump to a Sicce 2.0 because the pump it came with was broken during shipping. I have a Tunze 9001 Skimmer, that is not working...

Hello guys, I’ve been thinking about upgrading to an Innovative marine 30L tank for a while now, but I’m still not 100% sure. My fiancée will be mad, but after it’s all set up I’m sure she will love it. So maybe if I see some images of you tanks I’ll convice myself that it’s the right move to...

I have a 32G Coral Life Biocube it has been up and running for about 2 months. I used 35lbs of Life Rock instead of liverock to limit the introduction of hitch hikers. I have 3 fish, 10 hermit crabs, and 10 Astrea snails currently. I want to add some pods to the tank to get a population...
