Hello my names Blake and this is my first post to r2r. I set this tank up in June in preparation for college. This will be where I post about my time with a nano reef in college while studying ‘Conservation of Biology’ Here is a list of equipment: Light: Ai Prime HD Heater: Aqueon 100W...

I am brand new to the forum and excited about starting a "not so new" journey. I've been reefing since the late 90's but this will be my first build since losing most of my vision (not totally blind, but legally blind). It might sound crazy to build a reef that you can barely see, but there's...

Hi, I am upgrading to a SCA PNP 50g and want to sell my my other set up. It's a waterbox 20 gallon AIO cube with a black wood aftermarket stand. Its only been set up for about 6 months, in perfect condition. I also will throw in the skimmer, the skimmer is a Macro Aqua m-50 Hang on Back. Tank...

I’ve been slowly amassing the materials to start up a new 40-gallon reef tank. It’s been 6+ months in the making, and I’m now just getting around to posting photos. Needless to say, I’ve been taking my sweet time. My last tank was an Aqueon 150 - not the greatest tank for a third-floor...

As my 14G Not a Cube is nearing 9th month since it has been up, I feel like I am needing to mess with the tank less and less, to the point where it is almost on autopilot. it is quite filled up with growing corals, and only needs daily feeding and weekly water change. this makes me feel an...

Hi All, After hanging out here for a few months, gathering info and data, and asking questions, I've finally decided to start a build thread! This is my 2nd salt water aquarium after a 6 year break. Currently i'm almost done collecting equipment, but I do have all the essentials and will be...

Here we go. I started my tank build before getting to R2R but I did make a log of what was going on so I can do a bunch of catch up posts until I get current. Some of this is in my introduction so I am sorry about the repeat information Background of what I want and how im going about building...

Anyone know if something like this exists? An AIO Pico including: LEDs on par with a PAR38 (pun intended) LPS/SPS level of flow/turnover (preferably a controllable DC return pump) Hidden heater and fan Built in ATO Minimal controller for heater/fan, ATO, lights, and pump 1-5 gallon display...

This tank started as a good deal with aspirations as frag tank but ended up as a hospital tank. Currently it is a holding tank while I am in the process of dismantling my other fish tank, https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/37g-bow-front.244753/ which hasn't been updated in a long time, but it's...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post for everyone who has an AIO tank with a refugium. I was always using under powered lights just because of space limitations. Recently I purchased an SB REEF Lights Sprite Fuge and couldn't figure out how to use it because the mounts are either hanging or...

Hey, I have had this Recife Eco AIO for about a year now and am growing more and more frustrated with the small sump in the back. Is there a way for me to incorporate a sump on this tank (without breaking it down) rather easy? Money isn't really an issue, and the only reason I am not simply...

As part of a cross-country move, I've ordered two JBJ 65 gallon AIO aquariums to be drop shipped to sunny Arizona, where I'll have an opportunity to set them up and let them run for a few weeks before I drive out with the inhabitants of my current tanks (one reef and one planted fresh water)...

Hi all Been meaning to start this pool for a while... So I have a 90 gallon system with sump running for a couple of years, and my wife and I really enjoy it. The only problem is that I would love to spend much more time on it but I just can't. That can be noticed by how the rocks are not...

So I was a bit bored at work and was like hey let’s build something I figured why not better than dying of boredom.. I found a few pieces of acrylic and decided to make a “prototype” AIO.. about 15 minutes later coming off a laser cutter and some weld-on Go ahead and critique it I know some...

Growing up and on and off through my Adult life I always seemed to have a fresh water tank, with live stock ranging all over the place. The last dive of fresh water for me was Bloody Mary Shrimp, which are still going strong today to the point I have a couple of breeding tanks set up for them...

Hello All, I though the R2R secret Santa idea was great. Recently I have sold a lot of my old aquarium gear (filters, old tanks, lights, etc.) and have accumulated some funding. The only thing I didn't sell was a 5gallon marineland cube. After contemplating what I would give for the secret...

I don't know about you but i am tired of cutting filter pads for AIO media baskets. I recently purchased the Purity Pack from Innovative Marine and i love it! Re-usable, Re-washable and to be honest last longer and picks up more particles from the water. Let's hear your experiences and share how...

Hello All, I acquired around 5/6 mangrove pods from a recent trip to FL. The pods are growing out nicely in the refugium of my 90G tank. As I let them fully develop, I think it is best to look toward the future as they cannot permanently live in a sump. The solution, I plan on buying glass and...

Hey fellow reefers, My name is Darrin and I'm a high school Biology (and U.S. History) teacher down in Coconut Creek, FL who with the help of many amazing people on this forum have the opportunity to show my kids what reefing is all about. If you want to get an idea of how this all started...

My tank is a strange AIO setup that poses some interesting situations as far as how to drill and plumb it. I was going to go with an overflow box, and drill the back glass, but then i got to thinking that i could use the existing weir and filter space built into the tank, and drill into that...

Im shutting down my JBJ 45. Moving from US to India. Its been a good run with this tank. Learnt a lot of thing and lost a lot of things. Thank you everyone for pointing me in the right direction and making this 1 year of reefing journey a success. My 2.0 JBJ journey will be better and more...

AIO users, please comment on unexpected issues you have encountered using a rear compartment for macroalgae. I am especially concerned with issues of nuisance algae growing in the compartment. I am weighing the pros/cons of using a chamber as a simple refugium compared to using a CPR HOB...
