reef

So i am currently in the middle of my second battle with dinos and things have really taken a turn for the worst. I have stable levels of nitrates and phosphates so i know nutrients aren’t an issue. I tried a UV sterilizer with no success. I had read articles on reef builders and seen videos...

So I bought two garden eels for my mixed reef and let’s just say if you love flow, dont add these to your tank I lost one in about 45 minutes it got caught in my Nero five which didn’t come with a fish guard. I will be bringing back the other one to my lfs @newyorkreefaquatic in Queens, ny.

So I am experiencing a bit of a dino problem on my sand bed. I have experienced dinos before but this time they are not nearly as bad as they were, previously they took over all the rocks, sand and basically the whole tank. Now they are back but only in patches on the sand bed. I have had...

So in my biocube 32 I already have an ocellaris clown, midas blenny and flameback angel who are all thriving and doing great. The only corals I have right now is a hammer and a small colony of acans which are also doing good. My tank overall is running pretty smooth as of now with no major...

I am upgrading my 40 gallon reef tank to a 75 gallon reef tank. The stand that I built is 50” tall x 18.25” deep x 48.25” wide. The rimless tank brings the height up to 68” which will be great for viewing but horrible for maintenance. I will be running a 29 gallon sump with a Simplicity 240 DC...

Hey there, I am currently looking for some more fish for my 120g predator reef. Currently there's only one dwarf zebra lion in there (around 7inches long with fins). I'd like to keep it a reef tank and also I am not sure about actually getting more predators especially those that would need a...

So I have had my Royal Gramma in my 32 gallon biocube for about a year now and it has been great. For the first few weeks after I added it it spend most of the time hiding in my rocks only coming out to eat which I know is normal because they like to hang in caves in the rock work. After the...

Hey guys I have a 40 gallon reef tank set up and it’s almost out of the cycling stage. I plan on keeping hardy corals in there and adding them once the tank is about 3-6 months old, or at least after the algae bloom stage is over. I am thinking of adding the following fish: - 1x Clownfish: I...

Do you have a 20 long, if you do lets see what you got :)

I have an 8 foot long 310 gallon aquarium with an IceCap 48XL sump. I bought two eheim jager heaters for it (300w & 250w). I’m placing the 250w either in the skimmer or the refugium section of the sump and was thinking to put the 300w inside the overflow box to keep a clean look inside of the...

Happy New Year to everyone on R2R! It is time to replace the filter media on my Evo 13.5 and was curious to what you use, or what you would use in this situation. Mixed reef with everything. Currently running carbon, filter floss, bio balls ( ceramic and plastic ) and a sponge I have two...

Hi Everyone, I bought an electus mushroom coral about 2 weeks ago, but lately I’ve been noticing it doesn’t look very good, it’s either extending looking closed up or folded up, I noticed most fish stores have them in little boxes or trays, separate from the others, is that something I must do...

Hey everyone, I noticed on my glass within my aquarium there seems to be tiny little white specs and they move, seems like I got a good amount. Are they copepods? Or something else I should be concerned about? I’ve attached a picture and they are very small, I hope the picture is clear enough...
