pico reef

Hello all! About 6 weeks ago I rescued a 5+year old Fluval EVO V setup that the previous owner had let slide and was ready to literally flush and toss. :eek: Equipment: It had been setup as a reef tank with the stock AIO equipment and filtration, and what looks to be an aqueon 50w heater. About...

Hey guys wondering if anyone has any coral or are going to be trimming down some of there coral in their tanks and would be willing to give me some to add to my new pico tank I made. Before I get these reefer snobs saying I’m only asking for free corals. I’m only asking for nps or softies...

Hello, recently i got a new 2.5 gallon tank. i’ve had plenty of freshwater tank experience and i know how difficult smaller tanks can be with fluctuating parameters... So far I have about an inch of sand on the bottom and some live rock, I’ve purchased saltwater from my lps and the tank is...

Hello, This is my first time posting here, so thanks in advance for the advice. I've been in the saltwater hobby for eight years and I'm moving out to college in a few months. I have a 2.5 gallon glass aquarium (w/ HoB filter & clip-on LED light), and I was thinking about setting up a pico...

Hello, This is my first time posting a question, so thanks ahead of time for your responses! I'm looking forward to learning here... I've been in the saltwater hobby for 8 years and I'll be moving out to college in a few months. I was looking to set up a pico reef using a 2.5 gallon glass...

I’d bet that most of us have a shelf, drawer, closet, or garage filled with spare parts. I made the mistake of getting bored and going through mine.... and found I had everything I needed on hand to start up a pico reef on my computer desk. Let this be a cautionary tale to learn some self...

What do you guys think? Thinking of upgrading to a hob aqua clear 50 for more flow, currently running a 20 with a surface skimmer attachment.

hello everyone. i am looking for some advice on a good protein skimmer for a 10 gallon aio tank? does anyone have experience with a hob or in tank protein skimmer in a tank this small? if so what would you recommend? it is currently my frogfishes tank but i plan on making it a frag tank as well...

Hi everybody! I’ve recently bought a Fluval Evo 5 and it will be my first reef tank. I’m super excited to get into the hobby! I’ve just finished up the latest round of nitpicking on my scape and thought I would send it out into the R2R world for some feed back! Once I’ve decided that I’m happy...

I’ve got this 2 gallon pico tank set up and stocked but the top of the rock work looks a little bare. Is there a good coral to keep in a pico tank that likes medium to high par reading and high flow?

Hey everyone! I'm new around here, but not to saltwater. Ive had a few nano tanks in the past but unfortunately I didn't document them. Oh well they weren't much to look at anyway. My goal with this tank is a somewhat low tech, peaceful mixed reef with a few fish and inverts. To start off I...

Hi all! I just recently upgraded my light to the FluvalSmart Sea Nano for my 5 gallon pico reef, I’ve got some LPS guys and one SPS, And I’m excited about the new possibilities with the light, I’m just seeing some new algae growth and some of the corals are shrinking back, and I’m pretty sure...

Hi all, This is my first post here. I searched some of the key words in my question but haven’t found much, and I read mixed reviews on this subject: I’ve had a 5gal pico reef running for about a month now. It has the stock filter in it. There’s also a cherry shrimp in there. Seems happy...

Hi there, So I had this idea of converting a 5g (25x25x30cm not sure in inches) dennerle to an AIO to keep some LPS like hammer, blasto, acans and some shrooms. I am trying to stay as low budget as possible, so hunting around for used lights. I have this rare opportunity of picking up a Kessil...

Does anyone know if the Coralife LED Marine Aquarium Clip-On Light will grow soft corals? I’m thinking of using it on a 2 gallon pico reef.

So I just started a 2.5 gal and got a Pistol Shrimp and Orange Stripe Prawn Goby. Corals: Green & Red Favia. I hope to get some more LPS and some mushrooms.

I have been out of the hobby for 8 years and decided I missed my thank way too much. So I have done what every normal hobbyist does, go with two tanks HAHAHA! I used to have a Red Sea Max modified with a Sump, and loved it. There was also a 75 gallon that I had, but the nano tank for whatever...

Hi, I want to see all of your guys’ nano reef tanks!! Please post pics if you have a tiny reef :) This is my Fluval spec iii turned marine aquarium. The only thing I changed was the light to a Kessil A80. Cheers!

What do you guys think? It’s a 9 gallon UNS 45U

i set up the fluval 2.6 gallon all in one as a tiny office tank, sort of a grow out for mushrooms and easy corals. i have everything set up with bio media and water from my display 3+ yrs old. all i need is a heater so what would you guys recommend? it would have to fit in the back compartment...

Hey Everyone I have a 5 gallon mini reef tank and was curious what nano fish would be a good choice for the tank?

Thinking about getting this tank, which seems to be an AIO including a return pump...

A week ago I set up a pico reef in a 2g/8L vase. It will hold only zoa's and other softies. Maybe an euphyllia if the flow and light is enough from only a air pump and a cheap China LED. I don't know if 2g is maybe too small for sexy shrimps or a porcelain crab? Here's a video from when I set it...

I'm setting up a sexy shrimp and rock flower tank. A waterbox 4g. I've had it running a couple months with only a few rock flower nems. Recently bought gsp from a local reefer, and noticed a rather large (2+inches) bristle worm try to steal food from a nem during the last feeding. I presume he...
