I’m making the jump from a very small saltwater tank to a 32 gallon Biocube that I just got off fb marketplace. It’s empty, and since it’s my first time with an AIO I want to understand what I’ll need to set it up. I’ll put all of my questions bold & in bullet points throughout this post to...

This is everything I ordered for my nano tank setup, let me know what you think! All in all - it's about 2 grand, minus the livestock. Pretty crazy for just 15 gallons... but whatever. Hello Reef 15 gallon AIO w/ stand (~ $230) Norwesko 16 gallon utility tank (for water storage) ~$150 6...

This is my first post and first build thread so go easy on me :-). If you have any feedback, advice or questions let me know! I picked up a UNS 90LA peninsula tank around a month ago but didn't have room to get setup until all the Christmas stuff was out of the way. I am downsizing from a 90 US...

Hello. A couple weeks ago I bought an Ai orbit 4 and an Ai orbit 2 for my 120g 5’ long tank. I wasn’t really worried about flow too much because I just had fish at the time and just set them up with how someone recommended. but now I want to get into corals and just got a few frags (3) and I...

After starting my very first nano tank back in 2024, I fell in love with this hobby. I have been an aquarist for three years now and have finally moved on from the freshwater hobby.. Since July, I’ve been the happy owner of the Nyos Opus G2 300 Pro-Line in gray and want to share my setup with...

Hi, I have a Fluval evo 13.5 I set it up last march. I had damsels and it was doing fine but the entire tank turned brown. I tried everything but couldn’t get the tank fixed. Forward to December now, and all the fish died and now I have 1 nassarius snail and no fish. After the last fish died the...

After surviving Hurricane Milton, I have decided to give up my beloved Reef Tank. It’s in immaculate shape and taken care of by a professional service. I stayed and didn’t leave during the Hurricane because of the Aquarium (one of the major reasons) when I really should’ve. It’s not free but...

I’m sure a similar question has probably been asked but as a newb to the saltwater world does anyone have container recommendations for holding my rodi water?? I just got my BRS 75gpd unit in the mail today and I see a lot of hobbyists use brute trash cans with float valves etc but I really...

Looking to set up an SPS frag tank and looking for advice on how to go about it. I have mixed reef tanks but sps never do well. I’ve been able to keep alive green slimer, red digi and bubble gum digi. Whenever I’ve tried keeping anything else they just die on me. Any help is appreciated

Finally took the leap and purchased an aquarium that I believed was worthy of a reef tank that I’d be proud of. I purchased the Innovative Marine 100 gallon Internal Overflow Complete Reef System (link below). It took exactly one week from purchase to arrive into my garage as it was recently...

Looking for equipment recommendations for the IM INT 100 I just bought. Should be coming in a few days so I’m looking at what equipment people recommend. The goal is to have a mixed reef tank. Likely only with soft corals at first, with potential for hard corals if I excel at these. Currently...

Hi, so I'm planning to start a reef tank. Have a rough layout of how i want to set it up. Not much space, so i dont have space for a sump. The following is my plan for the layout of my tank. I was wondering if I am missing out anything, or ways that i can improve the setup.

How should you be cleaning new equipment before using it/putting it in your tank? A new tank after sitting in a box in a warehouse? Powerheads and pumps with oils and grease from assembly and the manufacturing process? Nets, gravel vacs and other tools sitting on the racks at LFS? Do you just...
