If you're thinking of starting out with Acro's my suggestion is a Green Slimer Acropora SPS coral like this one. The Green Slimer Acropora is not as delicate to keep as other Acro's and will tolerate certain differences in water parameter differences.
Thanks for checking out my recent and...
Ok! So I started this thread long ago “so I thought” but then I couldn’t find it. I am now 7 months into this adventure and 3 months into the tank itself. So I will bring you up to speed and then continue live. I have journaled and documented along the way. Many on my IG @Reeferstrong
I will...

I’ve used BRS reefsaver rock for a long time. I’m setting up a 180 and looking to purchase some rock. I can’t find a single review about the biotek rock, yet it looks the same as the reef saver and about a $1 per pound cheaper. Any experience with the biotek rock. Thank you.

There are many aspects involved in successfully husbandry of a reef aquarium, not the least of which is...
125H acrylic black back w/center trapezoid overflow, black formica stand and canopy, excellent condition overall, aquarium is 60"L x 18"W x 24"H, stand height is 30", and canopy height is 10". Comes with 1 sump that holds (1) 7" sock, Iwaki 55rlt return pump, Koralia wave controller, (2)...
Anyone have experience with the redesigned Reefer sump that claims to be refugium ready? I think it's on the 250 and up. How big is it? Is it easy to do maintenance/mount lights to? Thanks!
I bought a ReefSavvy 21" ghost overflowthat flows 2000 gph for a new aquarium build I'm doing. Of course, my plans changed. It's brand new and was never installed. ReefSavvy doesn't accept returns, so my loss your gain. To get all the info on the overflow, Google: "reef savvy ghost overflow 21"...
Good Day,

3- Eternal refugium 30x30 cm (separated from the sump)
4- I am going to use it for mix reef and focusing more on SPS...

Hi everyone new to the hobby been in it almost 2 months now. SUper excited and im obsessedddddd. Recently got a bunch of coral over the span of 2 weeks and everything is doing AWESOME. But I have a couple questions...

Water temperature hovers around... 78/79...
Would it be to much or a waste to get a 6 bulb fixture for a 55 gal. or should I stick with a 4 bulb fixture (going for more sps). also I use ATI bulbs

Things I Miss About the Hobby
Being with some of my long-time friends a bit ago, we started reminiscing about the early years of the hobby and some of the things that used to be common or major parts of the hobby and how many of them were gone. I am typically not someone who dwells on the past...
I'm going to be getting one in around a week or so, I just think they are awesome.
Anything I should be warned about? Or are they just as cool as they seem?
Hello everyone, Im posting today because I am moving and can no longer take my tank and equipment with me. I have been in the hobby for over 5 years now and have put together an amazing tank. I spare no expense when it came to the build. All equipment and tank have been purchased brand new and...
I just bought a ProfiLux4 controller and it's going to be a month or so since I still need to order few more things from GHL. So in the meantime, I need to log in my date after my weekly testing and water changes. Whats the best and the most inexpensive software that a MAC can run?
So far I...
So I’m finally going to do my first tank thread ever. Nothing too crazy but just like everyone else on here I do love corals!
I’ve been active in the hobby since January 2015, but I’ve been obsessed with reef tanks since I could remember. I’ve always wanted one. About a year before I started...
