reefer

I haven't seen an example of a Clarisea SK-5000 installed on a Reefer 525XL without removing the auto-topoff reservoir. I figured out a way to do it and have some photos showing how I did it. My unit is the one with the auto-topoff on the right, the filter socks on the right, and the baffles...

I’m currently planning to set up a 120g mixed reef tank. I’m looking at setting up 2 opposing Reef Breeder RP-Ms rated at 2600 rpm. They will be running one of the programmed settings, so my thought is I should credit them with about 50% at any given moment. Because of this, I’m thinking I may...

I'm looking for Stocking advice for a 120 gallon tank. I'm interested in having 2 herbivorous fish to pick at my rocks and help manage algae preventatively. My wife loves the look of yellow tangs and wants one for the tank. I've been looking at adding a blue eyed kole tang, but I want them to...

So I may had put my foot in it when I said I've yet to get any form of algae. But can anyone tell me what this is and would a blackout reduce this? Only on the sandbed, brown sand almost. Guessing its the beginning of the ugly stage? Running LIGHT with all blues,UV on 100% and 5% on whites...

Hi guys, went to LFS and they had just got this in-store was told its a green leather finger. But looks a bit different to what I thought was a leather finger. Or obviously not a specialist on them. Or is it just that. A leather finger? Size of a small hand. Looks great in the tank.

I'm writing an article for my LRC on common mistakes that we often see people make in this hobby, and how they can be avoided. I thought id pick the minds of fellow experienced reefers here (since we see and respond to such posts daily here) Not interested in debates or crackpot theories on...

So the time is due to come. Turing on the lights, looking to put in some corals in the next few days however I'm in urgent need to know what works best for a lighting schedule. I have the Radion xr15 g5 pro light. 1. What setting is best to begin with? 2. What point intensity should I have...

I have a new Octo varios 2pump and have noticed on the side of the controller it has multiple connection points. I know the bottom one is for the float switch that it comes with, however what are the other 2 for? Additional floats?

Hey all Just made the plunge into this with the acquisition of a secondhand reef tank that had been emptied by a guy who went off to college; Dad said, “he’s in college, he doesn’t need this stuff anymore.” His loss, my gain! :D I’ve done quite a bit of reading and research into saltwater...

If you could design a “new” series of tanks for the RedSea Reefer series, what would they look like and what features would they incorporate?

So, I have been looking for a while to get back into things. About 7-8 years ago, before kids 2 and 3, I had a 29 gallon biocube. Ended up breaking that down. A couple of months ago, I got the "itch" for a bigger tank to go on a long wall that we have in our house (new house for us as of 2...

I have 2 RedSea LED90 lights that are about 6mos old. In excellent shape and have been running on my RedSea 250 at roughly 45-55% based on their 15K schedule. The lights have great coverage, par, and color. I traded up to these lights from AI Hydra 26HD. In my opinion, these were much better...
