reef

I’m planning to get a new 13 gallon tank and eventually make it into a reef tank. I was hoping to start out by cycling then adding corals and a cleanup crew, and maybe a month or so later, adding an ocellaris clownfish/pair and maybe a bangaii cardinal… I wanted to know if anyone could walk me...

So I just got home today to find that my fairy wrasse had died but this isn't what my question is about. Should I now do a water change to avoid an ammonia spike? I removed what was left of the carcass but it looked like my snails and crabs had been eating it for a few hours maybe. I did a water...

So I have had a bubble coral in my biocube 32 since I around January when I first started the tank. It was a small colony that was doing great for a while up until fairly recently. I have noticed it is closed up most of the time and has a brownish algae it seems on part of its skeleton which can...

Hello everyone, I'm new to R2R but have been keeping fish for about 2.5 years now. I just started my first saltwater tank and can't wait to share my journey with everyone along the way!

I’m a year into reefing and really want to know if it’s better to shut my whole canister filter completely off when feeding my corals. I just got this canister filter (CF500 UV MKII) for my 55 gallon reef tank, I’ve previously had two tidal 110’s on my tank and then recently transferred all the...

Hey, I found recent AF product - Anti Phosphate - https://aquaforest.eu/freshwater/products/af-anti-phosphate/ It's relatively light color, so it does not seem to be a ferric hydroxide related as most of reef dedicated products are. I wonder - what could be the ingredient and why isn't it...

Introduced a frag with aiptasia and resulted in this…. A year after recovery - Never give up if you love the hobby

So I have been using the hanna digital salinity checker for my salinity readings for the past year or so and have consistently gotten a reading of 1.023 with an occasional jump to 1.024. I just bought a refractometer and tried it today and got a reading of 1.026. This is a day after getting a...

Unsure what to call this or how to describe it other than it looks like the skin is shedding. Literally no other weird behavior and is eating well. It’s had it for a few months now and nothing has happened. It doesn’t change at all, stays looking like the photos. thoughts?

Hey y’all so my tanks about 2 years old now I’ve been having phosphate issues which have caused major algae Dino cyano who knows what was at .92 phosphates now at .16 looks like it’s going away hopefully while i was fighting it I’ve been siphoning it off the sand bed and picked up too much...

Hey guys ! I really would love your ideas, input, Suggestions on coral businesses. I plan on starting a veteran owned and operated coral business in the next year or so. I want it to be like no other business out there. All coral will be aquacultured and priced to compete with wild caught...

So I have had a bubble coral in my 32 gallon biocube for a few months now and I need some opinions. I have noticed that almost all of the time the coral does not look fully “inflated” and extended as it should be. It always has its feeding tentacles extended and the “bubbles” are not very large...

Hello, Not completely new to the hobby, had a 125 gallon up for years maybe 15 years ago. Trying to get back into it with a much smaller reef tank this time, and was hoping to figure out a good stock list/bio load for my tank. I'm not sure what my limit would be in this smaller tank. 125 had so...

Hey everyone selling a Radion Gen 4 Pro for $350. Comes with original box! can meet in Orlando or I can ship at buyers expense. Thanks

Over the years, I've had many tanks, from large to small, from kit in a box to full custom. I've enjoyed most of them throughout that time, but I feel over the years I've become to hyper focused on the right equipment and lost sight of what makes the hobby great. THE ANIMALS! So I had my 200...
