uk reefers

Hi guys, I have an small 30g tank which will need ~5g fortnightly changes Can't do much drilling in pipes and walls/kitchen as I'm renting the apartment Was looking for options on portable RODI systems that I can plug into the bathroom tap faucet directly, leave running for a few hours...

I'm planning to start my first reef tank and its quite overwhelming! I would like to meet up with local hobbyists who can guide me, so that I can get a head start on the equipment & initial set up. It would also be good to start a local community for regular meet ups. Also wondering if there...

Hi all, I have an Aqua One AquaNano 60 Tank (20 gallon) marine tank currently just with live rock and fish. I’m looking to add some corals (especially an anemone as I have a pair of clowns) and was wondering what the best budget light is to get? I am based in the UK and many US recommended...

Hi all, can anyone help me with where I can get a replacement lid for the fluval evo? Mine has cracked and the corner portion has come away. I’ve looked on the fluval website and they are available in the US but I can’t seem to find anywhere in the UK where you can get a replacement part. thanks,

I am thinking about starting up a group for UK Reefers to Trade, Buy and Sell mostly their corals but also fish/inverts. I live in Liverpool, England and I would like to meet new reefers and learn everything there is to know about marine aquariums. I think a great way to do this while also...

I have had aquarium since I can remember. Ok the very first one hardly can be called an aquarium as it was just a 3l jar with a 2-3 inch catfish in it my dad caught while we were fishing. And that fish didn’t last long with me as he had to go back to the river Danube. It was growing faster and...

Thought I'd made a build thread to keep a record of the changes my tank goes through and to get feedback from other keepers! I'm not testing my water too often yet but I intend next month to start doing water changes with Red Sea blue bucket and dosing all for reef to maintain and alk of 8 or...

Okay guys. Odd one for you today. Came home from work today to find my cleaner shrimp had vanished without a trace. I've recently added a giant Turbo snal (approx 3" diameter at base). Are turbos of this size likely to have killed it? Are they actively hunted by crabs? I've lifted all my...

Some time ago I made the decision to try and source all my livestock from Captive Bred Fish Stock and Cultured Corals. My choice in no way condemns or condones any other sustainable and ethical choices. It is simply my own choice. Due to my experiences and sometimes, seemingly uphill struggle...
