Full Tank Shot as of 2/23/2024: Come one come all, welcome to my build thread. First, a bit about myself. When I was 14 I stumbled into an archaic corner of YouTube where people were keeping reef ecosystems in little glass boxes. I was hooked and immediately wanted to join in the fun. My...

My levels started to rise so I searched everywhere. I finally found his bones after taking part the flow valve in my...

This is going to be crazy and I probably will get a lot of people tell me im crazy, but I feel like it would be good to share this process, just in case someone goes thru the same thing, and I will try to update it as much as I can. So I been very picky about my aquascape, Tank has been set up...

Hi everyone, I’m about to start again with a tank, after a lot of years of inactivity. I’ve some experience but mainly with freshwater...I’ve had only one reef tank for a short while as a pennyless student before giving up. I would like to start again with a reef and I’m considering the Red Sea...

I tried finding this info everywhere to no avail...even red sea manual for the max line up doesn't cover dimensions of the two sumps only water volume and they differ from 1 gallon in size. I want to know if I can use the red sea max 260 sump upgrade on my current max 170 plug and play. In pics...
