This will be my first official post on reef2reef even though I've been lurking for a long time on here. A few months ago I saw the Innovative Marine Sale and couldnt resist, decide to go big with the tank that has my dream dimmensions: The 150 Gallon Lagoon EXT! Going to be upgrading my 2...

Hi Guys, I am wondering how to identify "Killer Conch" and Herbivore Strombus? My local guys, catch many different type of Conch... Mostly, I just get Strawberry Conch (Conomurex Luhuanus). It's was the most easiest to recognized. However, as of late, they show me this Conch, said to be even...

Hello everyone. I am new to the hobby and have been doing a lot of reading and video watching and im still not 100% confident in my setup, and I have some questions. I was recently given a 40 gallon cube tank with about 50 pounds of live sand and some dirty water and maybe 10 pounds of cycled...

I know it's been discussed over and over but wanted to add my 2c to new reefers. I've been in the hobby right at two years and played the game of no qt the whole time. It finally got me and lost a coral beauty, kole tang, black cap, and flame angel to ich. I treated with kick ich with fingers...

Edit: All 3 lights are sold! Going a different direction with my lighting so up for sale are 3 AI lights - 2 Hydra 32HD and one Prime 16HD Reef. I picked these up used months ago in prep for my tank, so unfortunately I don’t know the history of the lights as far as percentages used or how long...

I have an 80 gallon AIO reef tank (4 foot long 17 inches tall) that is 1 year old. I have a Yellow Tang, Longnose Hawkfish, Flame Angelfish, and a Mandarin Dragonet for fish. For Inverts I have a sand sifting star, cleaner shrimp, and a bunch of astrea and nassarius snails. I also have various...

First time doing a reef tank, I’m coming from planted freshwater world. Thoughts, advice, recommendations on my current aqua scape. Goal is a mixed tank with mainly softies to start. Thank you all in advance for the advice.

I just bought a Zoa colony and it has 2 of these anemones on it. Any idea what type they are? I can’t get a really good picture of them but they are purplish with a green center. They look kind of like a Duncan to me but they do not have a stony base.

Hello, My name is João and I'm from and live in Brasil. After a couple of years away from reefing due to a couple of reef disasters I've decided to star a new reef tank. It's a 65 gallon custom made that I plan to have fishes, inverts and mixed corals. Display: 65 gallons (28" x 28" x 20"...

Hi fellow reefers, I have setup my tank last May so it has been running already for some months now. As you can see, I have added a few corals to it, a clean up crew and some fish. I am a bit struggling where to go next and in what time frame. So far, I have been focusing on soft corals...

I currently am having a problem with storing my reef related items in the living room. I live in California and rent is not cheap so a one bed room house is all I can afford. Here is my layout in our living room. Problem is the shelf I currently use causes me to just stack everything on top of...

Does anyone know a good website that ships to Canada (besides gulfofme.com) where I can get some cold water anemones? Or is anyone selling cold water anemones in Canada? Thanks.

I have a Water box 65.4 AIO. I got my water tested on Friday and my Alkalinity came in at 11 dKH. On that same day I bought two more fish, a gonipora, and the AI Glow blade (48). Saturday I bought 3 acans and a tiger tail cucumber. I also tested my water again that night and my Alk came back at...

Hi everyone, I'm new to reef2reef! I'm also new to Saltwater fishkeeping in general. I do have a 36 gal freshwater planted tank, so I'm not so new to fishkeeping, just inexperienced in the saltwater side. Background: Went to my LFS this weekend and saw an amazing nano reef tank. It was part of...

I just got an Innovative Marine 30L. It has some bad water lines/etching. I have tried everything to remove it. Does anyone have any other ideas? Can I buff it? If so how? Please help.

I have recently bought a Red Mangrove and one of the branches fell off during shipping (the first photo where i left the branch in the pot). Does anyone have tips on getting the mangrove to branch again without needing to cut the top off? There are some spiky buds growing off the side of nodes...

Now that everyone is here, I couldn't find anything related but I am having so much trouble with Mg and Calcium dosing, I have IO Reef Crystals, I mixed 5 gallon with 3 cups of salt. Waited 1-2 hours and couldnt get any readings from the salt. I waited +24 hours and I got around 1300-1350 mg. My...

Hello folks.. My 25g AIO is on the newer side relatively, but has been mostly stable after an initial cycle. I woke up today and overnight, my tank has exploded with white/clear strands, everywhere and on everything. At first I was worried it was something invasive, looking like individual...

Hey, new to the hobby here, tanks about 3 months old, I have a pair of clowns, the female has been pretty aggressive with the male, nipping his fins and such so I separated him in a little isolation box so he could relax for a few days, as I do not have a separate tank, but now the spots I...

There is this Macroalgae growing on my trochus snail and I was wondering if someone could ID it for me? The snail came from a tank filled with Dragons Breath so it might be that but it doesnt look like it so I’m not sure. It’s the short red algae growing on the sides, kind of looks like spikes...

Hey y'all, I recently acquired a 40 gal breeder to replace the 30 cube next to my desk, currently housing very small recovering from previous tank crash corals: mostly zoas, a bali green slimer, a toadstool, two blastos and some mushrooms. Fish wise I have a sailfin blenny and a pygmy angel...
