Hey guys, here is my very first saltwater tank. I’m very excited!!! I’ve wanted to start one for years now and I finally did. Any advice for a new reefer? Especially on how to deal with diatoms? I’m on week 4 now and it’s starting to explode!

I have been having a few issues with my phosphate level, or I think I have anyway. Both of these test were done at the same time the only difference is that one was done with 16ml of ro water and 1ml of tank water and the other was done with 17ml of tank water. But they both have me the same...

I'm not sure if this the appropriate forum for this, but oh well. Has anyone had experience with this test kit? I'm wondering if I'm just unlucky or the equipment in this test kit is just junk. I've had this kit for about a month now testing DKH every day. I've noticed the markings on the...

Used reefer 525XL v3 roughly 6-7mo old. Broke tank down as I have a lot going on in life and would rather break the tank down then neglect it. Tank will come with stand, sump and Clarisea Fleece Roller. Sump was modified with a check valve on the return and filter socks were cut out for fleece...

Now that I know 100% I cannot install an in wall tank my only choices come down to these two tanks. I’m getting confused when ordering , do lights come with these tanks? Are these lights actually good? Waterbox shows a bunch of additional items I need but what about Red Sea? Do I need a sump...

Hey guys, had this octo 32 up and running for a little over a year now. Nothing too crazy just getting back in the swing of things after being away for a few year, looking to upgrade to possibly a Red Sea 350 or maybe a 425. Also have a 16g bio cube that is the bedroom tank and also the...

Red sea states that you can not store their coral pro salt mixed in water for more than 12 hours otherwise you will get precipitation. So why then does the alk and calcium not precipitate in our tanks at 12 hours after a water change?

So I have been using a API nitrate test since I first started my tank, it has seemed pretty reliable but it has just run out so I thought id try the red sea pro test, bought the kit with phosphate aswell. The issue I'm having is that the API test was saying my nitrates are at 10 but I've just...

I've been considering altering my approach to fall in-line with one of the reef programs available. For example there's the Red Sea program, Zeovit, and Triton. What do people think about this? My approach has always been custom ... mixing brands, plotting my own course. But I can see the...

If you could design a “new” series of tanks for the RedSea Reefer series, what would they look like and what features would they incorporate?
