I’ve got a 200 gallon peninsula build I’m planning to transfer my existing Reefer 350 into. The BRS videos sold me on Caribsea Ocean Direct sand as I wasn’t a super fan of my current sand and I liked the idea of hopefully bringing in the bacteria from the direct ocean sand. Unfortunately, the...
This is a custom built 230 gallon (72x29x25) peninsula style show quality tank with internal overflow box. Due to moving out of state I am unable to take it with me unfortunately. I had the tank built by Glass Cages about 4-5 months ago, and it has been up and fully running for around 2-3 months...
I just started getting my 40g breeder tank set up. Very early stages right now. I need recommendations on a light/fixture.(I want to do a clamp because its an apartment so i cant hang lights) thoughts?

Ok, so this tank has been sitting empty in my office for a few months now. Work has finally slowed down enough to where I can devote some time to it. Right now, I'm stuck on the plumbing, and I have a bunch of questions. I started a build thread, but I figured my questions may get more traction...

After an 11 year break from my 120 gallon mix reef tank I have once again been bitten by the Salt Water bug. So we are remodeling our downstairs but I just couldn’t wait another 4-6 months to finish. So we decided to start back into salt water with the Waterbox 25g Peninsul.

Hi. I am looking for a 30 gallon (or similar size) with a stand, sump, skimmer, etc. Preferably, I would like a tank that I won't need much more of a purchase other than sand, rocks, and livestock.
I purchased a Crystal Dynamics 225 gal peninsula (72” x 30” w x 24” h) a little while ago, and the tank is finished and ready to be delivered. I’ve been super excited to get it delivered and set up, but as of just a few days ago it looks like I may be moving in the next year or two. As badly as...
So I’ve been putting together my 210 that I refurbished. This is my 5th reef tank, and 3rd bare bottom. Started scaping-> dropped rock and scratched glass. Removed scape, polished glass, changed some plumbing runs, and tonight I did the freshwater leak and function test. Super happy with my...

Hi all,
I had a question about the amount of flow I have in my tank. I have a 20 gallon long tank (IM Nuvo 20g Peninsula) that is about 30in long. The tank came with a mighty jet that goes up to 325 gph and I have an aqamai kps that pumps Between 375-1050. So my question is if I have too much...
Hello my fellow reefers!
I am not a novice, but have not had a tank in about 5 years due to a move back then where I had to sell off everything. We have rented since, but just closed on a house at the beginning of this month (May) and it is way past time for me to get back into the hobby that I...

Hi everybody
I am quite new to keeping saltwater tanks. I started a few months back with a used reefer 170. This Forum looks very cool and friendly and I'm happy to join you :-)
Now I don't know if I should ask my question here or somewhere else in the Forum, you can tell me if I should post it...
Long time lurker, infrequent poster here. May be a bit of a late start here but I’d like to have a journal for this tank now. At least I shouldn’t need to report on the uglies now! Start date was January 2018, and it has survived the move from an apartment to our house in March 2019. It’s had...

As is tradition for me, new year, new tank.
I recently came across a deal I couldn't pass up on an 150G Crystal Dynamics peninsula tank to replace my 90G Elos. The Elos has some scratches that are hard to get past and i'm not much of a fan of the older style overflow on the...

Hi all,
I have a newly set up I'm nuvo fusion 20g peninsula with two clowns in it. I have 2 ai prime 16 hds coming in and I was wondering about the light settings for them. I plan to mount them 8 inches above the tank and copy the settings that BRS used in their investigates video. My question...
Hi all,
I am rather new at this so I want to make sure I am not putting too much flow on my fish. I have an innovative marine nuvo fusion 20g Long tank peninsula style which is about 30in long and 12 in wide. The return pump is a mighty jet 326 gph which is pretty much at 100% that is primarily...
