Hello all! I've been lurking for a couple days and figured it's about time to jump in and see if I can get some answers on my current situation. I inherited a saltwater tank that hasn't been used in years so my wife and I have been cleaning it up, restoring the stand and investing in making this...

I put 2 snails, 6 hermit crabs, 1 goby, 1 fire fish 1 dotty, 2 anemone and 2 clownfish. Not all at once but every week. Everyone seems doing ok except clownfish.I bought 2 at the same...

Hey all. I’m a new reefer in the sense that I had a fish only tank a few years ago. Since we moved, had kids and life happened. Started out again 7 weeks ago with a Fluval all in one 15 gallon nano tank. Which I want some fish and some coral in. I have to confess I have no idea of what curls I...

Hello all, This is my first post on this forum but I have been checking other threads for months while I set up my reef tank. I have a 120 gallon tank that I started in October 2020 and ran with the lights off with two clowns inside for 2 months. I was told running the tank with the lights off...

Hi guys. I've been cycling this tank for almost 3 weeks now. I have used 2 shrimp and a bottle of Dr Tim's one and only. I'm seeing this white grey mould like film covering probes and wave pumps. The water kinda smells like mould too. I've used RODI water and tropic marin salt. Ammonia currently...

Hello all, I am a returning member of the reef community after years off, and new to the site! Please excuse me while I learn the etiquette and how to ask what I'm thinking in my head. I've set up a 20G Nuvo Peninsula tank in my office and so far here is what I've done. I'm mainly concerned...

Hey everyone, I'm moving my 150 gallon reef located in Lawrenceville to a new house that's located in Johns Creek around June, and I need help planning and setting up a built-in tank and fish room. I'm looking for someone that can help me put this together from planning to execution, or if...

So I finally got around to getting rid of my black box LED lights that I bought from Amazon and replacing them with the AI Prime HD 16 lights. I picked up the Prime lights from my LFS and I was able to set up the light with the tank mount in about 20 minutes. I already have the Nero 3 powerhead...

I recently started my new reef tank, after seeding it I was planning on dosing Coraline algae in a bottle as well as microbacter clean. If I add them at the same time will they work in conjunction together?

I’m 2 weeks into cycling a tank and I just put in a tiny piece of LR in today 5 hours or so ago and I did see a couple of those more shrimp looking pods that crawl around on the rocks and in the sand. I crushed up a couple pellets and dropped it in to continue feeding the cycle and now I have...

Decided after Christmas break tank was getting too small (or coral were getting too big, or I bought too many!), one of those things! Talked to wife about possibly upgrading, told her we could have more fish (that did the trick). So next day I found a custom 210 gallon tank on Facebook...

Hey guys, I have had two clownfish for roughly 3 months now and my LFS just told me I could get two more the other day. So I got two babies and to no surprise, the older brother (or sister lol) is being very mean to the new two fish, pinning them in a corner behind my protein skimmer. Their...

Hey guys, here is my very first saltwater tank. I’m very excited!!! I’ve wanted to start one for years now and I finally did. Any advice for a new reefer? Especially on how to deal with diatoms? I’m on week 4 now and it’s starting to explode!

So I swapped my evo to a waterbox cube 10, straight swap except changed to fresh sand bed. This was about a week ago. My Gsp have not opened at all and neither have my clove. I tried to change flow and have added a reduced % lighting via acclimation mode of my AI HD 16 but they remain shut. Ive...

Hi guys, I got out one of my old tanks I decommissioned a couple years back and decided to get it up and running again. Previously it primarily inhabited a lionfish, eel and triggerfish. I don’t want to have too many fish for this tank, just some nice show pieces. I was thinking an emperor...

Howdy Reefers! :D Welcome to my first build thread for my third reef tank - the Waterbox 220 Reef Pro. This tank is significantly larger than my previous tanks (Biocube 29g and IM 40g), and I couldn’t be more excited about my options with this bad boy. I’m going to have my first ever SUMP!! And...

Uh so this was really not what I planned happening. I joined this forum a couple weeks ago because I've just started my journey in the saltwater hobby! I'm a longtime FW planted tank fan and wanted to make a gentle step into saltwater with this cute 24g aio I got for a good deal It's got...

So I am new to saltwater. I bought a used setup from OfferUp that needed some work so I have been working on it (stand had water damage, black back needed to be scraped, light connectors corroded, etc.). As of today, the stand is done and the back is scraped. I have the material to fix the...
