I needed to move my 40g breeder that had been running for almost 3 years and talked the wife into letting me upgrade. I didn't take many photos of the initial build since I was moving things from an existing tank, I was hurrying to get fish and coral out of a rubbermaid container. Livestock...

I’m October of 2017 my wife and I bought a coralife biocube 29 from a coworker who has been in the hobby for over 10 years. He actually bought the set up for himself while he was trying to convince me to buy it for my kids. My son is allergic to cats and dogs, but loves animals. So my co...

Hello! Im still fairly new, I set up my first tank (A Evo 13.5 in Sep ‘17) and quickly moved into a Lagoon 25 in November. Here we are in March I’ve made into my final tank upgrade, a Lagoon 50. I am limited in size due to where I live hence the confidence in that statement. I also wanted to...

Hello all, I set up my first reef tank when I was 14, since then, I have upgraded from a 29 to a 55, and finally to a 90. However, as a college student, I needed a mobile system. After leaving my home 90 in the responsible care of my parents, I have struggled to find an adequate new system. I...

John’s 8g Pico Cube Hey everyone! Just to give you a little backstory before I get into the tank. My name is John, I am 15 years old, and I live in Georgia. I got into this hobby a year ago by watching tanks on YouTube and seeing them on the forums. I recently moved to Georgia from NewYork and...

Below is a FTS of my 45g JBJ taken as of this morning. I'm battling a bit of an algae problem atm but hopefully the urchin I'm getting later today will help out. What do you guys think of the aquascaping thus far? I'm thinking of raising the island on the left to about twice it's current height...

I'm in the process of setting up an Innovative Marine Fusion 20 tank and am trying to learn as much as possible. The return chamber is the largest chamber and has an area that is under chamber 1 and 2. It would seem that the water in that area would be stagnant. What would be the purpose of...

Hello everyone! I have an aio reef tank that I want to add a small refugium too, not necessarily for the benefits, more for just a challenge and aesthetics. I have 2 options, I could use one of the unused back chambers and put a light in it which I think I could grow chaeto and a mangrove. Would...

Hello everyone, Recently purchased a new Waterbox platinum 135.4 AIO ( http://www.waterboxaquariums.com/platinum-series/ ) and am waiting on delivery to my LFS for sump redesign. I understand these are supposed to be out of stock until october, but my LFS guy assured me he would receive it this...

#1 - David finally hooked me. This is the beginning of a long journey of the first system put together by a close friend, Chris Boehm. He moved on to other display systems and ended up passing it on to me. It's over 5 years old, but has been revamped many times. I'm not sure if the hardscape...

My wife @Mayfair and I have a 46 gallon Dutch Aquarium System AIO that is old but for the last year was successful learner reef system. I just got her a Clear for Life 125 Uniquarium. We are moving to a more coral based reef system with less focus on fish. Alot of folks have warned us on salt...

Well my wife @Mayfair and I are officially saltwater hobbiests. We love everything salt. We are avid salt kayak fisherman and own several tanks already. Two african cichlid (180 and 60 cube) We started salt tank (40 gal AIO) the way most seem to...first we wanted fish, who needs coral right...

My name is Alec! I've been doing freshwater for a while I currently have a 75 gallon discus/southern Painted Turtle tank and a 29 gallon galaxy rasbora, planted. I've been wanting to do a reef tank for a while but I promised myself I would spend several months researching (I started the end...

This is my Innovative Marine Nuvo Fusion 20 Gallon AIO tank. Started it up about a year or so ago, but it's not my first reef tank ;). All the coral started from little frags, so there is at least a healthy growth to some extent. Im not a guy to use aquarium controllers and high-tech type of...

I have a nuvo fusion 30L aquarium that I want to do a mixed reef with. I dont really want to mess with kalk unless I have to. However, I am having a hard time finding people with AIO tanks that use dosing pumps. And I have only seen one person use a calcium reactor for a AIO. Any advice on how...

I'm running a Fluval Evo 13.5 tank it as is, plus a FluvalSea mini protein skimmer. Do any of you think that I can add a frogspawn coral without adding any additional equipment? Current stock: 2 ocellaris clowns 1 Rainford's goby 1 Sinularia large frag 1 green polyp leather frag 1 Palau...

This is for a 15g frag tank i am planning out. This is what i have planned. i plan to have 4 inches of space in between this panel and the back of the tank so there is plenty of room. The total height of the panel should be about 12" and the height of each baffle will be 11", giving a 1 inch...

I'm a new reefer. My tank has had fish and some softies for a little less than two months. I've got some hair algae going on, so I have been thinking of adding a few snails. I have some questions: 1) Do you quarantine snails before adding them to the tank? 2) Do you dip snails before adding...

This is exactly what I've been looking for to kick up chaeto growth in the fuge compartment of my IM Fusion 40. Although it is precariously sitting on rim, the form factor is perfect compared to a LED grow light in a clamp on. I'll keep y'all posted on growth.

Hi everyone, After well over a year of being on Reef2Reef, I finally have a tank! I supported the Indigogo campaign of Biota Aquariums back in October. I got the tank in November but due to the holidays, life, the universe, and everything, I didn't set it up until Jan. I've had livestock in it...

Hello all, I am looking for an all-in-one frag tank somewhere around 16x16 would be good. I only have space for 16 in. but length could be larger. Thanks
