Hi Fellow Reefers, I am new to the reefing game and I have just recently purchased a second-hand red sea peninsula 650. I am wondering what equipment I would need at the very least to get a couple of clowns in there to get me started until I start investing over time. I am assuming I don't...

Well my name is Dillon, and after keeping freshwater fish for many years I’ve decided to finally try out reefing. I’m currently in the process of building a 40breeder set up. I have been on this site more times than I can count lol so I decided to join y’all. So any tips and tricks would be...

Here's a long one. Please any info helps I'll attach pictures of my setup So I might have a leak. Last night about 4 cups of water went missing in about 4 hours. Before this happened, my last recorded salinity was 1.025. And My tank has glass lids that cover the entire top AND a canopy so...

Hey guys! New to this so take it easy on me LOL. I just added two clownfish to my tank after a first cycle with a few hermit crabs and a clown (sadly the clown did not make it, terrible recommendation from the local Petco, will admit I did not do my due diligence beforehand, definitely shouldn’t...

A couple of things I'm hoping the r2r community can help me answer... 1. A reputable source for buying frogfish online 2. The most ideal water parameters or unique things I should be doing for my frogfish tank (Temp lighting MG etc) 3. Feeding amount, diet variation and supplementing 4. Can...

I have all of a sudden noticed a large amount of white critters on my rock where there’s algae and on my glass when the lights have gone out. I’ve dossed copepods before however they never looked like this ... Any ideas many thanks. please see images below tried to get best images in...

I am currently in the process of starting my first saltwater aquarium which is a 120 gallon FOWLR. Yesterday I got my first fish, a banggai cardinalfish. It is currently in my 10 gallon QT tank before it will go in the display. Since I got it yesterday, it has been hiding in the corner of the...

I have a 90 gallon tank. I'm still in the process of building do you have any tips for me. I'm upgrading the sump to a Crystal Sump 30 - Trigger System.

I'm overjoyed with my progress this weekend on my aquascape, I feel it makes the tank look a little bigger than it is (lifegard 8.3 AIO). Was also surprised to see my new light get delivered on a Sunday. Just waiting for my custom lid from Kraken Lids and I'm ready to go.

Had freshwater tanks forever now I've had two saltwater tanks set up for 2 years. A 30 gallon long and a 10 gallon first year was slow but a fun experience the next 6 months was hell with hair algae when suddenly my tank started looking beautiful and my mushroom corals started forming second...

My new default reply to emergency threads :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Hello everyone, After a few months of looking here for tips and tricks I finally joined. I have tons of questions and am incredibly new to the hobby (about 5 months). I started out with a decent 38 gallon tank with a few rocks, 2 shrimp, 3 crabs, and a clownfish. Now I’m on to a 75 gallon...

Hello all, I got this bubble tip today and it was sold to me as a rose bubble tip but it doesn’t really look like the normal rose color to me, any guesses as to what it actually is? The orange photo is with those sunglasses thing over the camera

Hey guys, so I have a Fluval 13.5 with a pair of clowns, lawnmower , cleaner shrimp and a fire fish plus cleanup crew and lots of coral. Want to upgrade to a 55/60 gallon tank. Couple of questions. If I get a new 55, would it already be cycled because I have a cycled tank already? (Plus the new...

Hello all! I currently have a JBJ 45 gallon cube AIO reef tank but have been recently trying to upgrade to a larger size with a sump. I’ve never used a sump so I’m not sure what to do and I also don’t really know what I’m looking for when getting one and I’d really like some advice! I found a...

I’ve already got a build thread on here but I’m making a new one since this is a new tank! It’s a BioCube 16 LED and I got it completely dry, with nothing but the tank, pump, and a couple unopened filter cartridges. I did not know it was a used tank, but it is, and I found out after the fact -...

Hi, after nearly a 30 year time span I'm back starting a small 75 gallon reef. So much has changed!!! Thanks to the Internet mainly, BRS, reef2reef, and YouTube for inspiration! So I started gathering things in November, and I'm still gathering lol. I have an older 3 chamber sump, Sicce return...

As you can see aquascaping isn't my strong point hopefully my next build will be better.

So I just wanted to tell you a little about my addiction to the hobby! I guess this story starts a year before my first aquarium came home. My uncle has a 180 Gallon Reef Aquarium, one of the coolest aquariums I have ever seen. One day I was visiting them (They live 12 hours from me) and they...

This might win dumbest question on this site. But I’m doing it anyway. Where does the return pump go on a reefer 350? Does it go on the left or the right in the same chamber as the stock ato float. I feel like it has to be on the right because other wise the bubble filter wouldn’t be doing...
