tank transfer

I have a dilemma. I have a 32 gallon biocube with rock I’ve been running for the last 14 years. It was live ocean rock and has plenty of life. The problem is that this tank is OVERRUN with bubble algae, bristle worms, and thin glass worms. I’ve seen some flatworms but they have gone away...

I’m in the middle of transferring tanks and just noticed that my blue tang won’t come out of its hiding place deep in my live rock. It makes sense that it’s trying to hide with all the commotion in the tank but I need to move the rock. My rock structure is one massive combination of Marco...

I’m about to transfer from a 40 gallon system to a 100 gallon system. I have the 40 gallon on the left side of my living room and the 100 gallon on the right so it’s really close. Do you guys have any tips to make this transition as smooth as possible and anything I should worry about?

So i have i 15 gallon tank(easy, relatively no maintenance, no skimmer, no sump, white light), and my dormitory administration allowed me to have the tank "as big as i can provide for and not obstruct my roommates space". So I'm planning to make the same tank, but bigger, either going for 35 g...

Well as expected I am a recent victim of the Red Sea G1 tank failures…although it was somewhat planned for…I had lowballed my local shop for a new reefer 250 based on the known risks with the G1. Knowing I could get the extended warranty with a new tank and replace it if a problem arose. I...

I will likely be downsizing my reef tank at some point in the near future and setting up a fresh tank that isn’t as pest ridden. but I’d really like to be able to reuse my corals and any possible rock as well. My tank has it bad it has Horrible Aiptasia, Bubble algea, Bryopsis and I’m pretty...

Good evening reefers, I completed my tank transfer from my two tanks (32biocube and 50gal) into a 125 gal long tank on the 17th. I am not a pro at parameters yet, but want to get double checked on them so I can learn from my mistakes, and see if my understanding on what to do, for resolution is...

Hello to make a long story short my 50 gallon aquarium broke during moving. I have a 90 gallon that I'm trying to move everything into as soon as possible. I have 40 gallons of water from the previous tank as well as about 80lbs of live rock and a very large amount of sand from the previous...

I have a 5-gallon and a 3.8-gallon tank, the 5-gallon has been running for a year and is good but the 3.8-gallon tank has only been running for about 5 months now. It is already showing coralline algae and all that good stuff but I'm moving to college. They only allow 10 gallons and below to be...

I have a Red Sea aquarium that has blown two back wall pumps and is generally old. So I am planning on ordering a waterbox infinia frag tank. Not a major upgrade on the size just an additional 40-50 gallons I’m not sure exactly what the Red Sea is. (Maybe 130 total volume) waterbox will be...

Hi, I currently have a 65+15 gallon established tank, and I will be getting a new 100+40 gallon tank. I’m looking to combine both tanks (remove one sump) to reduce maintenance. I also plan to remove all sand and go bare bottom on current tank. What’s the safest way to go? There are two ways...

Hi fellow reefers, I need some advise regarding my upcoming tank upgrade/transfer. Basically, I am moving everything except for sand from my Red Sea XL200 to a 110 gallon Waterbox. The tank has been running for almost 2 years and the transfer is supposed to be simple as the new tank will be...

Hello, Wanted to see if y’all can help me out with a few pointers as I’m planning on transferring my existing reef inhabitants over t a brand new tank? Also, Can I add my existing sand and also add new sand without any Ill effect? Thank you

Hey everyone, I'm just about done cycling my new tank and adding fish into it. My question is this, I mostly have softies with some LPS and very limited SPS in my existing tank (which will be decommissioned after new tank is complete). Many tanks take a while for stability before...

Possible to move to a 40 or 60 cube without destroying everything? Right now it’s a bio cube 32 gallon

I haven't really seen the topic of nutrition levels in the new tank discussed before. My situation is I am transferring my 5 month old Fluval Flex 9 gallon with one fish, clean up crew and corals to a Red Sea Reefer 170 that's been running for a week to let the sump stabilize and to get familiar...

Hello folks! Thank you in advance for any help! I currently own a 40 gallon breeder. I've had it for 4 months and everything is good, parameters are perfect, however, the tank is just not big enough for my livestock and coral. I purchased a 57 gallow shallow rimless Fiji Cube and just got...

Hey all! I am currently in the middle of piecing together an upgrade and figured I'd document the process and share my experiences along the way! A Little Background: My current system is an Innovative Marine Fusion 40 AIO tank. I've had it running for a bit over 2 years, and as well as it's...

I discovered that my 55 gallon display tank is slowly leaking from a bottom corner of the tank, I’m not losing a lot of water, about an inch a week (I know this might sound like evap but it’s not, there is water visibly seeping from the corner of my tank and the floor is wet under that corner)...

So my Dad was all about saltwater tanks growing up and when he took a break from the hobby he gave me one of his tanks. I had it running for a year but quickly fell in love with the hobby and knew I had to upgrade my tank as soon as I could. I saw a great deal on a Red Sea Reefer 350 and next...

This is going to be crazy and I probably will get a lot of people tell me im crazy, but I feel like it would be good to share this process, just in case someone goes thru the same thing, and I will try to update it as much as I can. So I been very picky about my aquascape, Tank has been set up...

Question: I am transferring my existing 40 gallon reef tank to a 65 gallon and would like to use some of my old sand bed. What is the best way to do this? My plan is to only use the sand which I am able to thoroughly vacuum days beforehand and to ditch the rest. This leaves me with ~80% new sand...

After years away from the hobby due multiple life changes, I finally decided earlier this year to dip back into the salt version of the hobby with a 29g that I had sitting in the garage. Currently, my 90g is a freshwater tank for turtle and a catfish. This is what it looked like 10 years ago...
