Hi! I just purchased a 13.5 gallon. I am VERY NEW to this, although, and this will be my first salt tank! Super excited, but nervous. I have a bunch of questions. - is it better to buy salt or buy premixed water? (I don’t have a RODI system.) - is aragonite live sand good? I got a good deal on...

I’m in the process of upgrading from a 37 gallon tank with a canister filter to a 120g with 40g sump setup that I recently bought. This is my first sump setup and I want to make sure I do it right to lower the chances of any problems in the future. Pictured is everything that I bought and if...

Looking learn from and meet other reefers. Attended Reef a Poluza in Anaheim last weekend. Set up a quarantine tank. Hope I am doing everything right.

I am fairly new to reefing and have just bought a hippo tang. He is tank raised and was done perfectly fine when I bought him yesterday. He’s been in the tank for about 14 hours or so at night. He’s belly is white aswell as his face a tiny bit. He sits in one corner and just swims around and...

Hello fellow reefers! I just past the 2 week mark of cycling my tank using dr tims one and only and dr tims ammonia. I used live sand and some rock from my existing tank as well. My current parameters are Nitrate 20, Nitrite 0.5, Ammonia 0. I got the same results from API and Red Sea test kits...

Hi All! I currently started cycling my new tank 9-10 days ago using dr tims one and only and dr tims ammonia. Since starting my ammonia has been off the charts! I think I just realised why.. it’s because I over doses the ammonia.. my bottle said treats 394 litres and my tank is 640 litres so I...

Hi! I’m just going to be straight forward. My son is 15 and has a 90 gallon tank. He is only running a canister filter for now but has been waiting for some stuff that came from his uncle to set up a sump. He is building his own sump right now and doesn’t even know where to start since his uncle...

I recently purchased a new Vortech MP40QD pump to replace an old MP40 that had quit working. Only after I put it into the tank and tried to connect it to my Apex controller did I realize that Vortech has quit playing nice. The "Mobius Ready" pump no longer works with controllers other than...

Have a 15 gallon Waterbox cycling and was thinking about what would be interesting to add. Currently have around 8 pounds of dry rock and 2 pounds of live rock, as well as 10 pounds of live sand. I will eventually be adding corals. Anyone have any suggestions for both corals and or fish. This...

Hi guys, I'm starting my first tank. I got my tank, dry rock, live rock, live sand, heater, power head, filter. And I was planning on getting a clown fish and adding API quick start to start my cycle. However I got busy and put it off for about 2 months, not really thinking that it would cause...

Hey all, I am new to reef tanks and since I live in a compact space for the moment the fluval EVO 13.5 is all I really have room for. I know it is going to be harder to upkeep than a larger tank would be but I have to make do with what I have. I am currently running everything stock. Other...

Hello all! My name is Rebecca. My husband has been in the reefing hobby for about a year now and works at a coral shop. While visiting him at the shop, one day, someone brought in a pair of gorgeous Black Storm Clowns. I fell in love with the two and that is how my journey started. I now have a...

To start off with what I know, I have been working with reef tanks for many years and freshwater tanks for much longer. My knowledge on the cycle is pretty good, but my reef tanks were never great, and now I want to change that. I am starting out with dry sand and dry rock which is very...

Is this a good kit to buy? It's 20 gallons, hood, heater, light, and filter. Only thing I "dont" like is the filter. Will it be good enough for just a few weeks worth of quarantine at a time...

Hello I’m getting a Waterbox 15 mini peninsula tank and was messing around with a few aquascape ideas, this is what I have come up with so far, looking for suggestions and recommendations on how to improve. I was also wondering if adding only a small piece of live rock is enough to seed the tank...

Setting up the tank this Sunday and have made a few scapes, there’s about 8 pounds of rock here and the tank is 15, any suggestions or recommendations on which scale to use or how to improve, also I was wondering if using just a small piece of live rock can seed the tank because it’s really...

Hi, I purchased 3 sapphire blue damselfish yesterday. It has been 24 hours since introduction and they won't come out of hiding. I already had two clownfish (one ocellaris and one percula) in the tank before I introduced them. I also introduced them with a neon blue goby the same day. I can't...
