Hi R2R! I maintain a software platform called "Krill" - originally for my own purposes for automating my aquariums, vivariums, and aquaponics but stable enough for everyone to use. It's meant for controlling systems, recording data and creating state machines that execute a ton of possible...

Hey everyone, put water in the tank and then added Red Sea blue bucket salt last week. I added the salt to a temp a little higher than what it recommends, and now my tank is cloudy. It hasn’t cleared up in about a week and a half and I was wondering why is that? I have my 2 wavemakers running at...

Just about new 4 stage rodi filter I got from BRS. Everything works great I recently just upgraded to a 7 stage 200 gpd. It’s missing the tubes but I can send you a link to get 100ft for $15 $185 shipped to you. MIGHT MIGHT consider trading for corals if you’re local. Or a par meter

So I ran into a problem recently with my tap water having high levels of phosphate causing quite a lot of cyano in my tank, so to help with that I’m looking into getting my first ro/di system to install. My question is does anyone have any recommendations on a good ro system to start with? I...

I haven't seen one on the equipment section or any of the other forums. The rip clean sand article is good but I'm surprised there isn't one for all of the points you need to consider when you upgrade/change your tank.

https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/5-stage-premium-plus-75-gpd-ro-di-system-bulk-reef-supply-bundle.html Used for about a year for twice monthly water changes so still very new. Moving so I had to sell the tank. This is a great option for making your own water at home! Happy to answer any...

Hello everyone! I have been using rain barrels that look like these for storing my saltwater and RODI water: (photo is not mine but a generic image from the internet) I have the ~30 Gallon barrels. They fit neatly under a very high bed. They are super cheap. Nearly every "farm" family has...

Hello everyone! I need to buy more saltwater but fear I may be misinformed on the topic. A while back I was told to stay weary of Instant Ocean as they market it for lower levels (salinity?) than necessary and therefore their packages make less water than advertised. Absolutely no idea if...

All my other corals are doing great! Everything was tested a couple days ago. We also did a water change not too long ago as well. All the water parameters are where we want them to be. I have done my research on the frogspawn and I do have him in a good location in the tank. I have tested...

Hello everyone, I recently got a new 15 gallon tank and I want to know if I can use the old tank water from my established 40 gallon. Is there any problem regarding using old water?

Hi, There is a need for me to make a new Fish Tank as quickly as possible for a small showcase in an exhibition. I already have my own Cycled Tank, I want to simply take the water from that Cycled Tank (when doing water changes) , including the fish, Coral and Live Rocks and place them into the...

Hey guys! I'm sure this question has been asked and discussed here. I have a 2 month old 60 gallon rock only aquarium. 2 clowns and a yellow coris wrasse. Everything with the tank is going great. I do water changes about once every 3 to 4 weeks. About 5 days ago, the water has gotten cloudy and...

Hey all, I have an like brand new Neptune Trident for sale. I used this for 3 weeks to make sure the parameters were correct. I had a Trident before this one and it was always off. This one is perfect and was very consistent. As you can see in the photos, it's basically new. No salt in the...

Tank: Fluval Sea Evo 13.5 Hello Everyone!:smiling-face-with-sunglasses: I am just starting and looking at my first weekly water cycle in 2 days since the addition of my two clownfish and two corals (Xenia and Zoas). I realize that my only knowledge regarding my water is to change 20% every...

Hello R2R Community, I am having the strangest experience with my RODI system. This system has been in place for 2-3 years and was running decently before this behavior began. The system is an AquaticLife 4 stage 75GPD twist in unit and it ran great for two years, feeding a smaller 2.5g...

What is wrong with my perimeters and how do I fix it? Alc: 13dkh Calcium:440ppm Phosphate: 0.15 Nitrate: 0ppm Nitrite:0ppm ph: 7.8 Salinity: 1.023

Hi guys, This is my first post ever :oops: sorry for any dumb questions! I am new to Reef World and I've started my first cycle in a blue marine 30g tank with a back AIO sump. I've bought the Red Sea Mature Starter Kit and I've been following the day-by-day guide. Right now I am on Day 10...

I have a Red Sea Led 50 in perfect condition. Shipping is Free The mounting kit is included.

Hi everyone. I am new to salt water aquariums, having had several fresh waters for many years. I purchased the Waterbox 15 gallon peninsula AIO tank and am doing my research on water now. I live in an apartment and do not have the ability to drill countertops, water pipes, etc. or alter plumbing...

I was thinking of buying a 1000L water tank that could fit on my trailer. I've been doing a lot of fishing with friends recently and have started to notice that as the tide is coming to its highest point, the water is much clearer, especially the closer I get to open Sea as opposed to a Bay. I...

So I found this at petsmart and is closer than LFS an hour away to get water. I’ve been using to supply my ATO for about a month and I notice a bacterial bloom and possible infection in fish. Is this ok to be using in place of RODI water.

Hello! I've recently purchased my third tank, a 30 gallon, and I'd love to set it up as saltwater. (My other two are freshwater.) I've been digging through the research, but I'd really appreciate some outside perspective and advice. My biggest hurdle, right now, is deciding on water. I've seen...

I been trying to find RO water for my IORC mix and Im unsure if this would be ok to use its ro but added minerals pic attached

Hello All, I have two in excellent working condition wavemakers. They come with everything you need and are cleaned up. Ready to be used. I had two on my 125 running at mid-level, and it was very powerful. These are perfect in the wavemaker world. I can do trades or buy each for $50 or both for...

Hey, I’ve had a diatom outbreak recently but fixed it, it was all because of my water. But there were diatoms all over it and I haven’t been able to get them off even with picking them off I cannot get them. And I’m not sure what to do because it has not opened up in a while, I’ve never actually...
