I have a RedSea Reefer 350 v3, I have literally nothing other than the tank, stand, sump and a RODI system that needs new filters, which all need to be cleaned. I'm not trying to get fish or coral in ASAP but definitely want to get it cycling, like with just live rock or something that will...

Hello, I am new to saltwater but not new to aquariums and in the process of starting up a reef tank. I came across the jbj black 65 gallon rimless aio at Petco. I have the vital care 20% plus a couple coupons and my total would be 1162.99 shipped. This includes the stand as well. i feel like...

I am putting together my first reef aquarium. (Not how I wanted to tell you guys) Planned to make my first post with my build. Sadly I'm having a plumbing issue. I have a Maxspect jump 8k. I am using 1inch return pvc pipe. This return came with barbed fittings and I am unsure of what tubing/...

I am about to set up a 75 gallon. I don’t have a rodi unit. How would you fill it? Get rodi from my LFS? It’s about 25 minutes away. What would be the fastest way. TIA

I purchased a 2nd clownfish two days ago and he has had me worried since being in the tank. He alternates between swimming around the tank to laying down in the sand bed for up to hours at a time I'm sure. I have my female in a breeding box because I'm scared shes going to nip at him. He seemed...

Hello! I’m new to the hobby. I’m in the process of cycling a 29 gallon tank. Have live rock, dry rock, live sand. And by recommendation used Fritz Turbostart 900. But I’m confused. added ammonia to get things going. I’ve been testing the last five days. As of today ammonia is present and between...

Sorry for the bad pictures. It’s i. My fluval 13.5 and I didn’t scrape off the back side of it. You can kind of see it but they look like white webs all over the chamber in the back. Looks as if they’re keeping the chamber clean of detritus in the first one but the second chamber is a little...

Hello All, I'm from NC , recently move to a newer home with my freshwater tank (65gal). Restarted it to be saltwater once we moved into our new house. Three months later (January 2022) after getting fish (clown fish) the bottom of the 65 gal bottom seals failed. 35 gals was on the...

Hello, I’ve had my tank up and running since the end of August. Around October I started seeing what I thought was diatoms. They started slow then exploded and covered my rocks and sand. The trochus snails are eating it which is making me believe it’s diatoms but at this point I would think they...

I bought a one spot fox face from my lfs and I put him into my quarantine tank. It's a 20 gallon tank. Is the tank too small? I would say he's about 4 to 5 in.

I have decided to go another direction with my next build. I have a brand new 50G AIO IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 2 I want to sell. It was delivered in late Sept/early Oct and is in perfect condition. It has never seen water (still has sticker on acrylic wall), perfect silicone, perfect glass/no...

This may sound like a very stupid question, but I got a very young yellow watchman goby and QT him for 30 days. From day one he was eating directly from my feeding baster and is super active. I had a small half clam shell in the qt. I put him in my DT yesterday with another half clam shell and...

Hello everyone, I am building out (with lots of help from my Aquarium Shop), a new REEFER™ 625 G2. I am very excited and after some initial research, and ease of consolidation, I choose many components from RedSea to compliment the tank. I have the 160S lights, the 900 Skimmer, the ReefMat...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this (blogging and aquarium hobby) and wanted to say hello. I am trying to create the beautiful reefs of Okinawa in my tank since I miss scuba and snorkeling. I'm taking my time to do it right and have the help of a great aquarium shop. I'm still learning the lingo...

Hi Everyone, I just bought a whole bunch of used and new equipment off my mate as he was upgrading tank size. I bought an MP10 (2 months old), 3 Nero 3s (bought within the last 6-10 months) and a few other parts. I collected them from his running tank yesterday and they spent a few hours in a...
