Hi Everyone! I've been lurking on this forum for the last few months and finally decided to take the leap into the hobby. I've always had a huge interest in reefs/sea life and regularly volunteer at one of the nations largest aquariums (pre-covid, super ready to feel safe going to indoor...

Hi Everyone! My name is Lehton and I am a new member of reef2reef and new to Aquariums. This is my tank (10 gallons) and I currently have 2 clownfish living in it. It’s been a rough transition into this hobby and I think I jumped into it too fast, but things are going good. I have a Duncan...

I've used Reef2Reef a few times as it comes up in searches for information. Wanting to like a thread today (as I research the failure of my Neptune EB832 Power Bar) I created a profile. Fish started for me 20 years ago with Cichlids, and 4 years ago with the transfer of a 72G salt water tank...

I tried the trick of dividing the tank into thirds and came up with this. I really like the pillar looks. Since I’m going bare bottom but I love the look of sand, I used Krylon Stone Texture spray paint under the tank to make a fake sand bed Thoughts?

Heres context. I got my anemone a few days ago. My tank is 4-5 months old. Today, I flipped the rock he was on because he was upside-down in the dark anchored in the same spot for about 3 days. The 2nd pic is him about 20 mins before the first pic. Idk if he is just getting used to the rock flip...
