planning

I keep overthinking all of our plans so nothing is happening. On the plus side, it means I'm taking my time for once. ....... Backstory: We recently broke down our old 60 gallon AIO mixed reef and set up our brand new Red Sea Reefer 250 (60-65 gallon total volume) on one side of the living...

So I went on vacation this past week to Hawaii (which was amazing btw, if you are a reefer I recommend going at least once in your life). I was gone for a total of 9 days. Before I left, I had everything in order - I hadn't changed or added anything to my 90 gallon reef in about two weeks, which...

What order should I add these fish (obviously not getting all, just want to know) Rainfordi Goby (pair) Purple dottyback Ruby Red Dragonet Cardinal (3) Exquisite & Red Firefish Starry Blenny Royal Gramma Red Fromia Starfish Tailspot Blenny Chalk Bass Green Dragonet/mandarin Goby Sea...

Moving on

Has anyone seen this tank or build thread for the stand? Would this be a decent diy or was this professionally done..if so who do I call?

Hi all, New to saltwater, and trying to plan my first build. I think for the first year or so, I'll be trying LPS and softies, but I'd like to have the option to move on to SPS eventually once parameters are stable. I've done so much research over the past year, but I'm still confused! And I...

Hi all, Finally putting together a build thread for my first tank! I am starting from Step 0, which is planning and research. So any and all advice on this rough blueprint for my tank is welcome! :) Now is the time for me to be pivoting and flexibly charting my course since I have only made...

It's been recommended in places, such as with BRS TV, that it's not a bad idea to have a backup pump for one's skimmer. For instance, I use a Reef Octopus Regal 200SSS, which uses a VarioS-4S, which is the same pump as the VarioS-4, but with a different impeller. I can either buy an extra pump...

Hey guys, I'm planning a tank that will basically be a reboot from my first nano tank that I decided to tear down and re-do. With the space, I realized I can upgrade from a 10 to a 20H, and while I'd much prefer a 20L, I don't have the space for it. But if I can fit more water volume that'd be a...

If you’re a planner, like me, and are on a Mac, you might be keen to plan out (or document) your Apex setup using a tool like OmniGraffle. After tearing down my tricked out BioCube before moving cross-country, I started planning my next build and found it really helpful to be able to map out...
