Ok, my time as come to start by build thread. I've been watching @Tonycass12 @Arcu2 @FrontRangeReefer Marine X 60.2 threads, but probably time to start mine. Just to document progress, ask questions and contribute my own experience for others. No ETA for the tank yet, but hopefully soon. This...
Hi guys, went to LFS and they had just got this in-store was told its a green leather finger. But looks a bit different to what I thought was a leather finger. Or obviously not a specialist on them.
Or is it just that. A leather finger? Size of a small hand. Looks great in the tank.
Hello everyone! I know some of you follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/reefer_nyc/ or my Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPlx8rEhnJSsmH3EMlBzeJA and wanted to start a thread on my upgrade process! So I've been in this hobby for easily over 15 years and relatively kept my tanks...
Hey R2R family! I made this thread so I could document and share the struggles and successes of a newbie in setting up a new reef tank. I’ve had lots of smaller freshwater tanks in the past, but was completely naive to saltwater builds. In advance of closing on my new house in November 2020, I...
Hi Everyone,
First post sorry if it's not great.
I have just finished setting up my Reef 70.2 and need some advice as a newbie to having a system with a sump.
Essentially I need some assistance to know if the water level is too high in my display tank?
If so how do I lower it?
The sump is...

I'm planning to do my first ever upgrade soon on my reef tank. I currently have a aqueon 30 gallons. I can't decided on waterbox or CADE aquariums, dose anyone here own any of this aquariums? What are your likes and dislikes of either tank? Thxs...
Hi there. So I’m jumping into the hobby again. Got my first taste around 2014 on a whim. Back then I didn’t realize the pit this hobby is and quit shortly after. This time, a little better prepared, I’m looking forward to building something as beautiful as some of the reef tanks I’ve seen on...
Hello reef2reef community! Thank you for clicking and helping me out with this problem. I currently have a naso tang and a purple tang which seems to have gotten ich. The naso tang came from liveaquaria so I believed that they have already quarantined the fish for parasites and chose not to do a...
I have seen numerous videos / opinions that say remove the filter sock and run floss or a 3 tier chamber in the intake.
I have seen some recommend a small refugium in the center with bio media.
My LFS today said use the sock and fill the center with bio media......
I am about to start my...
Hello fellow reefers from Michigan,
A little background on myself. I am new to reef 2 reef but have been in the hobby since 2004. Over the years I have had several systems with my last 2 being mostly sps with a few of my lps favorites. Both torn down and sold off around moving. My last system...
I placed an order or a Marine X 110 with Prime HD lights on Black Friday. This is will be my first tank build and I couldn’t be more excited! I was originally eyeing the x35 I tricked myself further down the rabbit hole. This will become the feature in our living room that was otherwise not...
Hello there! I'm Daan, and this is going to be my first reef build journal here. I've been in the freshwater hobby for over 15 years and recently decided to make the jump to saltwater.
Freshwater and aquascaping has always my main hobby and passion. Countless planted tanks have been setup and...
Quick background. Currently I'm running an Innovated Marine Fusion 20 that has been up for around 3 years had it's share of ups and downs. Around 6-9 months ago I had a dino outbreak that killed 95% of the coral I had, which in turn sent the tank into a new cycle. Since that point, I've been...
Hey guys! I am finally setting up a reef tank after 8 years or longer of not having a saltwater/reef tank. To make a story short, I was young, impulsive, and shut down my tank after some really bad luck. I sold off all my equipment and never looked back. In the end, I knew once I moved out of my...
Hey team,
I'm finally getting my shiny new 220.6 up and running. It is full of RO/DI at this point, testing out the pump and such, trying to make sure I'm ready for salt and rock and cycling.
One thing I notice is that the water overflowing from the refugium compartment to the skimmer chamber...
Hello everyone,
I might be getting out of the hobby for a little while. Working full time all while raising an 8 month old and tending to 2 puppers has made me neglect my tank. I am looking to sell everything as a package including livestock. I will list most of the equipment below. The tank +...
Selling a set-up. This is a unique one as waterbox don’t manufacture this kind of tank anymore. This will come with Light and ATO. All yours for $100. Pick up only 07083.
Hello
My name is Gary and I am based in the UK. I am returning to marine aquarium keeping after a really long break. Without giving away my age when I last had a marine tank it was fish only, used an under-gravel filter, and was filled with tap water. That was a very common setup at the time. I...

Howdy Reefers! :D Welcome to my first build thread for my third reef tank - the Waterbox 220 Reef Pro.
This tank is significantly larger than my previous tanks (Biocube 29g and IM 40g), and I couldn’t be more excited about my options with this bad boy. I’m going to have my first ever SUMP!! And...
I’m stuck in between a Red Sea and water box I’m shooting for a 50 gallon display . I have never owned neither of these tanks so I don’t really know the difference they are similar in price with the water box being a little more . Trying to decide if it’s worth spending the extra cash on...
