Building my first ever reef tank (I have had a few freshwater tanks in the past). I like the look and size of the 20g IM Nuvo Fusion AIO tank, especially due to my low-ish budget of $1.5k or lower and my 1bedroom apartment that doesn't offer a ton of room. Below is a list of the gear that after...

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to keeping saltwater aquariums. I have 2, a 120 gal with sump, and a 13.5 gal fluval. I have these tanks in my classroom as I am a teacher. The 120 gal was purchased from someone off Facebook marketplace and has now been established with me for about a year and 3...

Hey everyone, I'm excited to get started reefing with my HelloReef 15-gallon system! I've had experience keeping bettas and tropical freshwater community tanks but I'm up for this gray-hair-inducing hobby lol Right now, I'm just getting out of my initial cycle and awaiting the ugly stage with...

Hi everyone! My name is Bryan and I'm a new reefer who's been keeping freshwater for about 7 years. I love bettas, but I recently started a 15-gallon nano hoping to add a pair of ocellaris clowns in the next month. So far, I have a skunk cleaner shrimp named Jacques and some astrea and...

Hi all, I'm pretty new to reefing and have been in the freshwater side of the hobby for about 7 years now. Almost a month ago, I set up a 15-gallon cube. Unfortunately, I forgot how long the nitrogen cycle lasted (I kept reading zeros across the board and was too eager lol) and ended up jumping...

Reef aquariums is a rewarding but expensive hobby. Its not a 2 month hobby either and has little to no instant gratification. Everything is new everyday - your tank, corals and organisms. This guide is for a new reef keepers. My aim here is not to give you a complete guide for each and every...

Ok I'm sorry if this may have been answered already, however I've been looking through the forums for a few days and could not find the answer to my question specifically. I am on day 13 using Dr Tims one and only and his ammonia. My ammonia is and has been 0 for a few days. But our nitrite is...

Hi reef2reef, my username is SOTO, which also stands for slice of the ocean. Yes I know, its cliché. I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A third world country in Southeast Asia. I love the reef/saltwater aquarium. Like most people, I fell in love with this hobby after watching the symbiosis...

Hi all, Just after some open and honest feedback on aquascaping a 4 foot Cade 1200. This is our first time aquascaping so open to any changes you would make. We are aiming for a mixed reef tank with some negative space. So far what you can see in the pics is 20lb Caribsea shapes and 40lb of...

Hi everyone help is needed! I have noticed today a black hair like algae growing on my live rock! (Picture below!) a little concerned as to what it actually is? Why it’s there? How it’s there? And if it’s harmful or not? (Or part of the process I’m in) also if it needs removing or not? Or to be...
