reef

I have a 15-gallon All-in-One Reef Casa mixed reef tank and recently added a Nero 3 wavemaker. I’m unsure of the best settings to run it at, particularly the maximum GPH. I plan to keep Zoanthids and Torches, so I want to ensure the flow is appropriate for them. Additionally, I have a pair of...

As I (im)patiently await the arrival of my 180g aquarium, I have done some research and created a list of fish that I would like to have. I will not end up with all of the following, but this will give you an idea of where my head is at: Purple Tang Yellow Tang Hippo Tang Magnificent Foxface...

Whatsup fellas, I went back and forth a lot but I decided on going with a 230 system, 190gal display 72x26x24. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do gyres icecap 4k’s maybe one on each side with 2 nero3’s one on each side of the internal overflow to blow behind the rocks. I am stuck on the lighting...

Need some input on this drain setup... all 1" drains with a hebrie style over flow. Valves are set up on my full siphon. Tees off to my filter sock and to my refugium. Any suggestions?

I’ve had tanks in the past but due to human children and an ill mom taking most of my time, my hobby of raising finned children was put on back burner. Now I’m starting out with a 25 gallon peninsula Waterbox. Had it since mid December. My clan: 2 clowns, 2 chromis, 1 valentine puffer (Val, who...

Good morning! I'm new to reefing and I've got a few questions. I've built a 40 gal breeder tank, fully cycled it and I've currently got a fish fish, but wanting to start adding more corals, right now I only have one Zoa frag. What's everyone's favorite light for best growth. I've currently...

Hello ya'll! I have an Innovative Marine Fusion 20Long AIO. It came with two 5W/24V return pumps each rated at 130GPH. I see that IM also sells the Mightjet 326GPH pump. Would it make more sense to have two pumps equaling 260GPH or one pump doing 326GPH? Right now i BARELY turn on my...

Hi, my anemone got stuck in my power head but did not get shredded. I was able to remove the front of the power head, but the sebea was still stuck in the back and I had to cut a part of him off the foot is still completely intact. I’m not sure if he’s dead or if I should put it in my sump for...

Whatsup guys. Semi-new to saltwater. I’ve had a saltwater fish only tank before and quite a few freshwater planted tanks. I’m just looking for some constructive criticism on how I’m doing so far. I haven’t had a tank in the last few years, so I might be rusty but I’ve been doing tons of reading...

Hi everyone, I wanted to reach out again because I noticed something on the glass of my tank this morning and I believe I also saw one on the Roch this morning also. I will attach a picture of what looks like some sort of worm if anybody can help me identify this and let me know if it is harmful...

Hey everyone. After much searching I couldn't find the correct size tanks I need. So iv decided to build my own acrylic tanks. For reference I attached a picture.

Trying to plan out what to put where on these shelves

Okay so, hello everyone i have many questions. I'm just trying to figure how to set up my lighting (coralife LED seascape, w/o the app) to be appropriate for my tank. I do not have access to a PAR meter right now. I'm HORRIBLE with technology and I can't figure out how to use it. Even the...

Okay so, I have 1 nicrew led gen 1 150w light and i wasn't sure if I can use this light and the new gen one at the same time, would it be compatible in the sense of lighting specs? I bought the nicrew in November because I was preparing for the 55 gallon. But they discontinued it. I do not have...

I bought this light for my tank back in november '24. I've been doing research on how to set it up and what not, anyways, I just discovered that the light was discontinued and I'm torn between just buying the 2nd gen or just figuring out how to use it. It's SUPER bright, and I think it might be...

Hi I'm curious and have a new bio cube so I am wondering if cotton balls can also work as biological filtration.
