upgrade

Ok so I want to upgrade the light on my Fluval Evo. Everything I read said that the AI Prime is the best light. But for me 200$ is a lot for a light. I found a few alternatives that I wanted to ask if anybody had experience with them. If you all don’t think any are adequate for my tank please...

I started this journey about 10 years ago with a biocube and 2 years later added a fb marketplace purchased 55 gallon drilled God knows what self drilled tank that’s been giving me nothing but grief 4 times now flooded my living room… we are 6 weeks away from the wedding and replacing the floor...

$25 For the aquarium with lid, 4.0 US Gallon or 15.2L Custom plumbing using tank outlets from Bunnings Warehouse, black irrigation tubing and non flex food grade tubing. About 100$ not including drill bits. I made this tiny weir and the other drain is only 1” and is more an emergency drain so...

I was wondering if there was any Salinity testing equipment that actively reads Salinity in real-time, I use the Hanna Salinity Checker which I really enjoy but sometimes I get the feeling that it's not as accurate as a Refractometer.

Hey guys I am willing to upgrade my skimmer for my Red Sea Max Nano AIO. So, the space is kinda limited and I am wondering if there would fit a Tunze 9001? Not sure as I seem not to find any info about people upgrading the skimmer. For me the skimmer delivered with the AIO tank ifself is way...

Hey! my name is Anthony. I previously had a build thread on my old Red Sea nano. It ran for two years before I wanted to upgrade. I decided to start a new build thread on my upgrade. The upgrade details: fijicube 76g rimless tank with exterior overflow system. The tank dimensions are...

I am helping my friend decide on a stocking list for his new tank. He is upgrading from a 36 gallon bowfront to a 75 gallon. The 75 is equipped with a sump. The fish he is moving from the 36 to the 75 once it is cycled are a 8-10 inch snowflake eel and a rust angel. The tank was just filled and...

Right now I have a bio cube 32 with a AI prime 16 but I'm upgrading the tank to a waterbox merine x 60.2, right now I mainly have zoas, lps and a few sps but would the one prime 16 be enough light when I want to add some acro? Or be better off adding a 2ed 16 prime Or used the one 16hd...

I am fortunate enough to have been given a 180g tank. It was a fresh and is older but I haven't ever focused on having top notch equipment. Free its for me! The game plan is to take my current set up which is a 40g breeder, 60g frag tank, 10g satellite tank, and a 2 long sump and put it into the...

I'm looking for any and all parts from the full size Atlantik or Compact fixtures people have no use for, working or not! Led boards whether all of the diodes work or not, control boards, pc cards, fans, antennas, etc... With the new Orphek Icon fixtures hitting the market, I know a lot of...

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone! I currently have a Waterbox 25, and a Red Sea Max nano (running two nanos it looks like I am a sucker for punishment!). I am looking to replace the Max Nano with a larger, and hopefully more stable tank. I am considering a few options, and would...

New here wanted to go ahead and introduce myself and my tank. I live in South Florida I’ve had a saltwater aquarium for about 15 years it was a 94gal corner tank. It was used when I got it and it lasted 15 years and then it unfortunately sprung a leak. So it was time for a full upgrade. Upgraded...

Hey everyone, I started reefing about 2 months ago, i currently have a 10GL in my office with a pair of clowns one damsel and a goby, and some soft coral and we are looking to upgrade to a 20GL, (That is the max capacity allowed), My goal is to get more in the tank and give the fish more...

Posting my 100 gallon mixed reef tank here. I have been at it for years but recently figured out that good lighting means I can grow more corals. Now its time to move the tank to replace the flooring in the house. Maybe I can get some tips on how to improve upon the tank. I have some great ideas.

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...

howdy, folks! I'm thinking of upgrading my reef because I'm apparently never happy with what I have lol. My current tank is a 90 gal 4' x2 'x18" with a 30-gallon sump. I was browsing on my local classified and saw a whole bunch of great deals for tanks that are 200Gal+ for under 1000$...

I currently have a 30gallon cube tank with a pair of clown fish, bunch of clean up crew and coral. I am currently in the planning stage of upgrading it to an 80 gallon tank and had a few questions about upgrading. The tank has about 10kg of live rock and about 4kg of bio media (ceramic rings...

So I'm upgrading from a 60g to a 120g Obviously I will be needing more water to fill it up and I plan to use most of my old water and of course my rocks, coral, and fish and new sand . My only debate is I have to make water but I can't make it all at once and it is a slow process. My plan is...

My JBJ 45 had been running well for what will be three years come November. It’s been a great first saltwater tank but I had the urge to upgrade fairly soon after setting it up. I started seriously researching tank manufacturers and equipment around this time last year and sat down to create a...

Update: Once I added a HOB refugium to my sumpless 40B, it was game over. The tank started leaking within a week because the extra weight pulled the tank too far out of level. As such, I upgraded to a Red Sea Reefer 250. If you'd like to start there, click here. If you'd like to read through my...

Not too sure if I have put this in the right forum but here goes: I own a fluval spec 60, similar to the fluval sea evo however it is slightly taller therefore has a more (and I mean about 8 lol) litres. Also the evo has a much better light. it is newly setup, and I’m already scratching my...

Hello everyone, It's been a hot minute since I've really been active on here but I come back today with a question, or rather, I'm seeking some advice. I've been in the hobby for a little while now and by no means consider myself anything but a beginner. I've had my Current setup since last...

Currently I have a 55 gal with a 20 or so gal sump running. I’m about to get a used 90 gal display with 30 gal sump. My home is quite small so it would need to be right where my current one is. I’ve read up on some old threads about using buckets and such which I will for the fish and live rock...

Hey Reefers! 2020 started with me taking a new job where I thought taking a paycut would pay off in the end, lockdown started a few weeks later. 2020 ended like it did for many of you, with a lot of downs and some ups. 2021 started with me getting laid off - rough patch was turning darker. I...
