Hi y'all. My 60gal cube (24x24x24) LPS dominant tank has been up and running for about a year now and is chugging along nicely. As this is my first foray into all things saltwater (I've been busy with freshwater for around a decade) I wanted to keep the stocking simple in the beginning. Current...

I have the stated above tank, but set up for saltwater. I want preferably a fish i can keep solo, with macro and very easy soft corals just for the lowest maintenance. Something interactable, with a fun personality, i was thinking predator fish or invert of some kind? Dwarf lionfish get too big...

I’m getting into reefing for the first time from fresh water. I am looking for a lid for my tank that doesn’t cost a quarter the cost of the entire tank. Any suggestions are appreciated. Tank is 59”x23.6”x22

Hi, I'm new here and from Slc, new to the hobby. I bought an established ~30gal tank and added the contents of a small 11g tank I bought later. I currently have some soft corals, a couple LPS and a few small pieces of sps that were in the large tank. The small tank only had two clowns, some...

LFS came and filled it today! Running well! Clearing up and will be adding beneficial bacteria tonight. Suggestions: - lights (GSP, RBTA, ZOA) coral able. - skimmer (140+ sump). - any ideas! ATO, RODI, etc.

I bought two corals recently and dipped them with ME coral dip. The first one I dipped just fine, but i didn't have enough water for the second one to sit in, so I put more water from my tank into the container with the second coral and by accident, used the same pipette with the ME coral dip...

I had a massive dinoflagellate outbreak in the past few months, and took the necessary steps to fight it off. I dosed PNS pro bio's purple non sulfuric bacteria, dosing 150 ml daily until I killed the bottle. Fed my cope pods reef nutrition's phyto feast and they've exploded in population ever...

I have a 2 inch Pajama Cardinal fish that has been with me for a couple years, he's the only cardinal fish in my 5 foot 125 gallon tank and doesn't bother anyone. I thought about getting a group of 6 Banggai Cardinals for the tank, but will the Pajama Cardinal be aggressive and territorial...

Thought about getting a one spot fox face For my 5ft 125 gallon tank for algae control, but got conflicting information online about tank size. Would my 5ft tank be good for this fish for the long term, or is it too small?

Thinking of purchasing the following aquarium. Has anyone had any experience with it? Any suggestions for alternatives?

As my 90g mixed reef will be hitting the one year mark this fall, I’m very proud of how it’s turning out to be: However, as you can see it’s very one sided and I would like to fill in the spaces with either some LPS that can give a “flowing” look to the right side, similar to the left side, or...

I’ve been struggling with ph for a while now and I couldn’t figure out why because I installed a co2 scrubber on my 90g reef (about 100g of total water volume due to having two sumps, one being a refugium) and it hasn’t done much. However, my family decided to turn the ac off for a day this past...

Hello! So when I first entered this hobby I had no idea that reef inverts were so diverse and interesting. So much so that I already want to do a small tank for inverts. Could you all recommend something that would live happily in say, a 5g fishbowl? I was thinking a few sexy shrimp with rock...

Hello guys! I've just done a massive deep clean of my cuttlefish tank for flatworm treatment and getting rid of most of the macros since they were really overgrown. It looked really bad and had algae everywhere since I've been busy with schoolwork and didn't have the time to look after it like I...

Anyone know where I can get amphipods online? I have a pygmy waspfish and I wanna get a steady colony of them in my larger system before moving him there from my nano, but I wanna make sure they’re aquacultured and idk where I can find that. TSA has been out of stock for months now.

So I finally hard plumbed my refugium because I was sick of staying up all night readjusting the ball valves every time the tubing got bumped. I have it in a second sump with pumps going to and from my main sump, as seen in the pictures. I’m currently using two danner mag drive 9.5s which has...

Where can I buy fish at besides petco because almost every fish is out of stock and the clownfish og isn’t available I need a better website that is legit and safe delivered, any suggestions?

Looking at getting a reef octopus but not sure what model as I think getting too big of one will prevent it from really working? Looking at the Reef Octopus Classic 110-INT. Seems like a good size for the Innovative Marine 100 INT (about 86-100 gallons when factoring in rock and sand...

I recently set up a 65g with a 20g sump, but my clownfish pair is young and small so they’re not really producing any significant amount of ammonia. Someone I work with at my LFS suggested adding a few green chromis so I got three, and being that they aren’t really hardy fish anymore due to...

I bought the fiji cube 20 long DIY sump kit and it says i need the things in this pic of the directions, but I can’t find any “acrylic plastic silicone” online in general let alone anything that says it’s safe for aquariums. Any recommendations or ideas as to where i can find it?

Looking for some suggestions on my tank. 100g Innovative Marine Internal Overflow. Going for a mixed reef with various types of fish and inverts. So far here is the equipment I have: 2x AI Hydra 32s Eheim Jager Heater Mighty Jet return pump that came with tank. Fluval CP3 Circulation Pump Stock...

I’m gonna be setting up a 65g with a 20 long as a sump using the fiji cube diy kit sold on BRS. When it comes time for a skimmer after cycling, what should I go with?

So this past weekend my fiancé told me she doesn’t love me anymore and I’m back to living with my parents. On the bright side, I’m converting the empty room with much more space in their basement into the ultimate bat cave (I’m very into goth culture) where I’ll keep my nano tanks. I’m also...

Curious what others think I should stock my Innovative Marine 100g tank with. Planning to keep corals, mainly softies and LPS. I read another user calculated that with sand and rocks, leaves about 85g in the display tank. Unsure how true or accurate this is. You can see my build thread for how...

I have the eshopps nano skimmer with the stock pump (Sicce Micra) connected to a co2 scrubber, but the pump doesn’t pull in enough air to make the scrubber effective. Does anyone have suggestions on a stronger pump that will fit the ehsopps nano skimmer?
