suggestions

Hello, I'm in the process of reviving my old fowlr tank and trying to convert it to a reef tank. I see the general consensus is to now ignore the old "inch per gallon" rule when it comes to stocking the tank, so what is a realistic stock list of forgiving and hardy fish/corals/inverts for my...

Hello!! I am new to reefing and so excited to learn and get started! My tank has cycled, and I just added two frost bite clowns to my fish tank. I would like to get them an anemone, any suggestions?

Hello there. I am just getting into reefing and I am slowly rolling into a 20g long as the money allows. Currently, I am using a Nicrew ClassicLED 12-18inch as I had an extra from my 55g. Right now I have 1 Turbo snail chilling in the tank helping in the cycle (been about 2 weeks). When on a...

Hello everyone. I have a 75g standard size aquarium that I've had running with fairly little issues. I thought I'd be able to jump into a 20g nano tank pretty easily but it hasn't been as easy of a transition. For reference I have have the Innovative Marine 20g Concept Panorama (pic included of...

I am looking to buy a hawkfish, leaning towards a Falco, Flame, or Longnose. I know Live Aquaria has some Falcos in stock, but with how much I hear of people having received sick or dying fish from them and all other complaints, I am admittedly hesitant about ordering from them. So, I figured...

Hello I was wondering what other corals people would recommend me to get in my tank. I know it’s preference but I’m curious to what others would add.

Hi All! I am new to saltwater tanks and have purchased a used 29g Coralife Biocube. My plan is to start a reef tank with some suitable fish and softy/LPS corals. After a month or so of research on forums like R2R (thanks for the help already!), I decided to start a thread on the setup and...

Hello all, I have a Nuvo Fusion 20 that has started to get air in the silicone seals in various spots around the tank. The tank itself is about 4 years old and has seen many different tank scapes and environment types. I was looking at switching it out with another tank, but I am unsure if I...

So I've bit the bullet and am going to be buying a custom made ultraclear rimless 4x2x1.5. Tank builders have lots of access to equipment so I can have notches cut out, holes etc. Currently the plan is to have a large external overflow on the back of the tank, with a large notch cut out of the...

I recently restarted my Nuvo Fusion 10 with an Aquamaxx Nemo 18 watt.. I am going BB and have a large piece of Live rock that should be all good to go. I will be putting some Matrix in the back of the tank to supplement biological filtration and adding a wave maker. I am thinking a nice pair of...

Hi all! I like to support my LFS in anyway I can. One way is I purchase the salt they use. I’ve tested it’s Alkalinity and it’s bad. Not sure if it’s the batch because the salt seemed to have got moisture in it because it was hard but it did soften quickly when dropped on the floor like you...

So I recently added a Maximus clam to my 30g reef tank and it is adapting great but every night and sometimes in the mornings it will have a bristle worm or two on the shell, I've been removing them with tweezers but I know that this is not sustainable. I always wanted to get a clam so removing...

Hi All, Been a long time since I have been here. At this point I have just had two clowns in my tank for quite sometime and truly unsure what I want to add next. I ultimately started to drift away from the fish and into the corals as my tank matured and now I feel everything is doing quite...

Hey folks! I'm interested in getting another fish for my aquarium but I want it to be a cool, unusual, or just uncommon fish. I'm looking for suggestions for an appropriate nano-sized fish that I won't have to order myself (weather is crazy this time of year in NW Florida), it's okay if I have...

Hey folks, I'm trying to get back into making YouTube videos about my aquarium and fishing hobbies and I was wondering what you all like to watch concerning reef aquariums and such on there. Is it more factual based stuff like the BRS videos, showing off new corals and critters, or DIY projects...

Hi, I'm Averi Spears. I've never had a saltwater fish tank so I would like to put one together for my senior project. I have a mentor that is very experienced but we're still looking for ideas and help. My topic is about the symbiotic relationships within the saltwater ecosystem so of course I...

Hi guys I'm new here and am new to Saltwater Aquariums, I have had and successfully kept fresh water aquariums for several years. I always wanted to keep a SW aquarium but just haven't had the space to start. Long story short my wife and I recently bought a new house and she bought me a 70...

In my tank, I have a huge pitch black area and would like something there. There's still enough light to see into it but not enough for anything else. I would like inverts that can be placed there. I currently have these blue sponges and they're doing fine but I need more.

Hi guys, my new boss used to be into saltwater tanks big time, he even created and patented his own small nitrastrate and betta tanks. SOO he has quickly gotten me into the amazing world of saltwater aquariums. Right now i have a nano 10g that he helped me cycle, its all at generally perfect...
