So finally able to start another reef tank after taking about an 8 year break from the hobby. Got a super sweet deal on a biocube with stand I couldn't pass up. Ordered 10lbs of citric acid and ran that through the tank for 24hrs and scrubbed all the old algae and coralline of with a breeze...

Hi all! Been wanting a marine aquarium for a while and finally jumped on board. I got a Fluval Flex 32.5, I wanted the Evo 13.5 originally but decided it might be too small. RODI water. Dry rocks (CaribSea Life rock). CaribSea Arag-Alive. Intank baskets. 125W Eheim heater and SLW-10/20...

Hi, I started cycling my tank a few weeks ago now, and it's still going through the cycle. I've been ghost-feeding, and adding startup bacteria, along with almost daily monitoring of Ammonia, Nitrites, pH, and KH. I plan to have a mix of Softies, and LPS in my reef tank, along with some...

Hello everyone This is my second run at this hobby. In 2012 I acquired a 28 gallon nanocube that was home to live rock and sand which had been running in someone's home for over a year. They never found the time or desire to add livestock. On a very tight budget, I purchased it and turned it...

Intro: I've been researching the saltwater hobby for many years, and reading through all the R2R forums have been a major help and a great source of information. Growing up, I had 10, 29, 46, and 90 gallon tanks but all freshwater. College and rental situations took me out of the hobby for...

Hello folks, I purchased my entire dream setup last summer ('22) and spared no expense. Since then, I've had two heart surgeries and just had rotator cuff repair, and just don't see me having the time (or energy) to build such a large setup. Highlights- new Red Sed Sea 625 XXL G2, Trigger...

Hello reef fam, I’ve been a member here for a few years now but sadly I haven’t posted very much. Right after getting my first attempt at a reef set up (40b tank) unfortunately my family went thru some turmoil. I won’t get into that in here but the facts are I had to tear it down and for the...

I've been reefing for around 7 years now, starting in the hobby when I was 17. My first reef was a fluval m60 which ended up being still one of my best tanks to date. This tank was upgraded to a red sea 170 which was also a success. I ended up taking some time out the hobby due to university...

Hi, I am thinking of building out a frag tank any thoughts on using a AIO system like Innovative Marine 50 NUVO Fusion Lagoon Pro 2 AIO as a frag grow system? What would the limitations or down side be on using a AIO? Thanks

To give a little back story. A few months ago I decided I wanted to get into saltwater, and specifically keeping a reef! I’ve had a few freshwater tanks running over the last year, and grew up with a sizable pond at home. Keeping fish wasn’t new, but saltwater certainly is! I was watching a...

Hey all! Been meaning to start a thread on here but got busy with life. Anyway, I had an IM10 SPS tank in highschool and sold everything (idiot move) when I moved to Colorado for college, thinking that I wouldn't set up another tank until I had my own House. That lasted for about 3 years and...

I'm DIYing a AIO for a tank and I dry fit the acrylic sheets yesterday. My question is, in the middle between the two baffles I plan on using cheato, I have seen other people AIOs have an additional baffle where the red line is drawn of the picture attached. I assumed that was for catching...

I introduced myself and my hubby at the beginning of 2022, but never started a build thread. I'm usually on my phone when I come to R2R and I was not about to try to write this on the phone. If you want to get straight to tank stuff, skip the next 3 paragraphs of back story. The title? Maybe a...

I've been out of the hobby for a couple years now. I kept a lot of my equipment and have finally decided it's time to jump back in. I've started with my Nuvo 20 AIO. Equipment: . Radion XR30 Gen4 . 100Watt Heater . Overflow caddy with ChemiPure Blue and filter floss . IM UV in other over flow...

Nearly four years ago we had a plumbing accident here at home, and, because there was no longer space to house my 55 gallon reef aquarium (8 years old)... ... I gave the inhabitants to an lfs and we broke down the tank. I had elevenish years of reefkeeping experience, and thought either I...

Hey everyone! My name is Galen. Thanks for stopping by my build thread. First time Reefer here, so please feel free to offer your thoughts, comments, critiques, etc. **Current Tank & Critter Shots** This is my first reef tank, a 25g Waterbox Peninsula AIO. A complete build list can...

Setting up the tank this Sunday and have made a few scapes, there’s about 8 pounds of rock here and the tank is 15, any suggestions or recommendations on which scale to use or how to improve, also I was wondering if using just a small piece of live rock can seed the tank because it’s really...

Recently I picked up a new tank from @Tenecor Aquariums. It started as a means to replace/upgrade another AIO I have (AquaTop BFT-13). The hassle of keeping the 'sump' clean on that tank is a pain, and I'm limited on space/growth potential in that tank. This is where the Tenecor Peninsula| 17...

I have had a 40 gallon freshwater that I just recently upgraded to a 45gallon, but have always wanted a saltwater tank. About six months ago we finally decided that if I can keep plants/fish alive in a freshwater tank how hard can saltwater be? That answer is - Kinda hard, but also super...

Anyone have any recommendations for an ATO for the IM Nuvo 30L gallon? The Tunze brand keeps coming up but I'm not about requiring the "most expensive" or top of the line. I just need one that works well.:) Thanks!

Hello, everyone! After searching for an affordable tank stand without success, I decided to design my own. Through a family member, I have access to the tools necessary to construct this build. That said, I have never built something like this and am seeking feedback from the community to make...
