shallow reef

Hello Reefers, Here's my little piece. I had a little 10G cube for about a year and a half and decided i needed something new. But as i am limited in space, i needed something custom made. She's been running for about half a year now, but i used everything ( including a few scoops of the old...

Decided it was time I upgraded my 125 petsmart build, to something a bit more professional. After weeks of research on all major brands (Waterbox, redsea, Prostar, SCA etc) I finally settled on the innovative marine 200, I really loved the Eurobracing, aluminum stand, sump, and lets be honest...

Well, the Fluval 13g holding tank that kept some zoas and our clownfish pair going during our 2018 move from Los Angeles to Orange County (CA) is ready to be retired, as we've started purchases for the new tank, 48” long x 24" deep x 15" tall, rimless, approximately 75g. After keeping a tall...

Hi R2R! I have been a silent reader on this forum for so long and I want to share my tank journey before things get too late ;Dead. Little intro about myself, Im an Art Director in an art agency/production house. I have been in this hobby since I was in high school which was about 11 years ago...

So I'm adding to my already crammed fish tank/ gaming room. (really not sure how my wife hasn't left me yet, we just had our second baby last week ;)) I want to do a lagoon style shallow reef build, would like to have it centered around anemones with the possibility of some random corals here...

Hello all, new to R2R (well, I’ve posted before, but new to starting a thread). Thought I’d post and document my journey in to this new build. A little background first. I started reefing back about 30 years ago when I jumped into a 40 gallon saltwater tank. I remember having a wet/dry...

Hey guys! Let me know what you think of my stock list below for tank upgrade 80 or 90 gallon. Please let me know which may be better from the ones I wrote “or” in. Thanks!! Green chromis 3 Clowns 2 Six line 1 Royal gramma 1 Molly Miller blenny 1 Blue spot jawfish 1 Springeri damsel 1...

What do you guys think? Thinking of upgrading to a hob aqua clear 50 for more flow, currently running a 20 with a surface skimmer attachment.

So this thread is about a year late but I figured I should finally give it a shot. I’m almost a year into this hobby and my obsession hasn’t slowed a bit (just ask my fiancé). It all started with an Used Innovative Marine 20 gallon aio system. Actually, that’s a lie. It started with a month of...

After keeping a 90 gal FOWLR tank for a little over 10 years, I decided that I should downsize and start a new reef tank. If any of you have been in the hobby even for a couple of months, the idea of downsizing almost sounds crazy. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. First, I bought a 20...

I'm looking to build my first reef tank, a shallow lagoon style measuring 32" x 16" x 8" from starphire glass. Its a very shallow tank, but it is fairly long, so I was wondering what the ideal glass thickness would be? I've used multiple of those online "aquarium glass thickness" calculators...

Hello Everybody! I started this build for a few reasons..... 1. It was super fun!!!!!! 2. Space requirements 3. Higher nitrates for mushrooms and softies I definitely encourage everyone to try a build like this at least once! With a little patience and organizational skills it was actually a...

I just set up.my 31x31x15 tank, I broke down my JBJ AIO, I Currently have a AI Prime HD but am thinking about doing a T5 Hybrid coupled with the AI or this light. Mostly I only have softies I have a few hammers, but I want to get into SPS and clams, just whatever I want to put into Display...

So the 120 gallon is gone. All fish are gone. Hanging on to some corals and inverts in a temporary 20 gallon long. I have been working on the 80 gallon build, and taking my time with it. Here's the progress so far.

I have had my current 6-foot shallow reef tank setup for about 2.5 years now... and its time for a bit of a do-over... Now i didn't really plan on upgrading or changing my tank as I love it! However, due to a hazy line in the glass, the tank builder was going to replace the tank. I'm sure you...

I've got the itch to do another tank and have always wanted to try a shallow mangrove lagoon style tank. I recently picked up the perfect dimension tank for this build and I am really to get started with it. The pics below are my inspiration for the build. Equipment List: 30 Gallon Deep...

Hello! My actual tank is quite hard to maintain due to some mistakes I did when I was starting. All life is doing good but I decided to build a new tank, a little bigger and prepared for the Triton Method. Specs: - Tank: Custom 40g tank 30 x 24 x 14 - Sump: Custom 26 x 16 x 12 - Light: 2x AI...

Hey Folks, Been lurking here for a long one. I draw so much inspiration from all of the great members here. Now that I'm starting (very slowly) a new project, I figured I'd make a build thread of sorts. Now that I finally got this thing reef ready, I need some help! The tank came with this...
