tank advice

Hello so I purchased this 60 gallon rimless tank for cheap it came with everything. I was planning on re sealing it by either just doing the interior seals but I am also willing to completely take it apart to do a full reseal. I noticed this chip on the bottom corner of overflow. Is it too risky...

Hey all, I just ordered a Waterbox infinia frag 175.6 gallon tank, and was wondering if my 3 xr30s on my current 150 gal tank are too strong for the Waterboxes shorter height, not sure if I should downgrade to xr15s or hydras, or even just keep them

I’m getting a reef tank soon and I’m having a lot of trouble deciding what to get. For the ratio of money to gallons, the 32g biocube would be the best. I like the fluval flex 32g better but from what I’ve read, it would need more powerful lighting, as I am interested in growing corals (and a...

Hello! I currently have a new 3 gallon reef tank and I’ve fallen in love with the hobby. I plan on getting a larger tank and I’m debating between the Innovative Marine 15 gal Fusion AIO or the 20 gal Nuvo Fusion (long). I plan on keeping it mostly a coral and invert tank but I’m thinking of...

Hello all, I am looking to purchase an AIO tank for my new place. I am looking for a tank of a minimum of 50 gallons and max of 70, I would prefer an AIO over a sump as I will be on hardwood floors and I have heard more sump & plumbing leak stories over the safety of an AIO - is this correct? I...

Hello I have a 55 gallon cube and I was away on the weekend for my sisters wedding. I come back today and my tank is a mess. Would an anemone dying cause a crash I have a lot of livestock and filter and skimmer. My flame angel I can’t find (super torn about this) watched my clownfish die, dead...

I have a IM 20L AIO and now that Tax Season is here, i would like to upgrade to a 50+ gallon tank. I can't decide if i want an Innovative Marine EXT 50/75 or an INT 50/75. Here is my list of concerns: I hate AIO's i found out. It is way too tight getting my hands in there, i hate having to...

Hello everyone, I'm new on the site and I'm looking to make a homemade stand for my 125 gallon tank. If anyone has a blueprint/model or somewhere I can refer to I would appreciate it so much. Thank you!

Hey all, just want to know if this is is cause for concern. There’s no leaking on the seams but there is a very small amount silicone that is lifted on the bottom left corner of the tank. Should i just cut that portion away with a razor blade?

New to the hobby, and have about 41" of wall space I can put a tank. I am ready to click the buy button and I have done a lot of research, but can't decide on the tank. I plan to keep LPS & fish, no interest in SPS. My key criteria is success in keeping fish & coral and low maintenance. I want...

My two year old and I finally convinced my wife to let me upgrade our 32G BioCube that’s been running for about 6-7 months to a 75G! Now, I just have quite a few questions. Tank will be a full reef with the following (hopefully) stocking depending on sourcing/personalities. Yellow Eye Kole...

I started my reef tank about month and a half ago. Every part of the process went smoothly and I was just excited to get fish. I have a 24 gallon 3-1 rectangle by Lifegard Aquatics. I got my two Mai tai clowns a week ago. Though last 3 or 4 days I noticed the male having a ton of tattered fins...

Hi everyone, I've had my red sea reefer 170 g1 for a couple years now and I think its time to upgrade. I am torn between the Red Sea Reefer 350 G2 and Waterbox 110.4, these are the only 2 tanks I can get as my space is limited and the dimensions work perfectly. I'm open to other suggestions but...

Hey all. I just got a 75 gallon and notice a strange line on the top left of it. It runs a little bit and is wavy, and kind of thins out to nothing. I can feel it with my fingers it feels like a smooth bump. I just don’t know if it’s a crack or silicone. I am halfway setting it up and noticed...

Hey all So I have a 40B. I have an opportunity to upgrade to 75 or 125. Problem is I don’t know which. I have one filters rated for 100, plus skimmer and Uv rated for 100 and 200. My 40b is 3 years old, I know transferring to the 75 will be easier but that 125 is tempting. What do y’all think...

Hey everyone, I’m just getting started in the hobby and looking for some guidance on choosing my first tank (40-60g). I’ve been eyeing the Innovative Marine EXT and the Waterbox Marine X lines. I like the idea of a sump. I’m leaning more toward the Waterbox because the 20" depth fits better in...

Alrighty so I have recently come into a situation where I am getting a 265 gallon and nearly all the fish that is in it. (plus I have a few of my own to add) My question is it it overstocked? The owner says no but I'm not so sure. The list is as follows 2x Regal Tangs Powder Blue Tang Sailfin...

I thought it was 8 months old, but it turns out it's more like 5 months and 20 days. Would love thoughts and suggestions! Stocking is 1 yasha goby and 1 tiger pistol.

This is my tank, we have had it up and running for 7 months. This are not staying this way I still have yet to glue things down. we do two water changes a week and we have just added the maxima clam a few days ago. and I couldn’t be more in love with her 🥰

Hi everyone, I'm planning to upgrade from my 45-gallon reef tank to a peninsula-style setup around 100 gallons. I'm really interested in the Waterbox PENINSULA 4820, but it's currently backordered. Does anyone here have experience with this model? Any feedback? Also open to other options like...
