The downsize is complete, and I couldn't be happier with my new AIO cube. Also the stand sits perfectly on a 18x18 tile.

Hi All, My name is Dan and I am new to Reef@Reef and saltwater, though I do have some freshwater experience. Just picked up a Waterbox 30.2 AIO and it was delivered a couple of days ago. Thought I would start a new build log. The delivery itself was a real smooth process, both the tank and...

I was wondering if anyone has used bio pellets in a reactor in the chamber after their skimmer. I have an AIO tank (DIY) and have a spare chamber that I am looking at putting a biopellet reactor in. However, this chamber is after my skimmer and before my return pump chamber. I have read a few...

Hi guys, I'm mostly a freshwater guy, but I recently picked up this 80 gallon acrylic cube AIO tank with a protein skimmer, and I'm thinking about building up a reef tank in it. Only problem with this, is that I still have a lot to learn about this part of the hobby. So, the first question that...

Hello everyone! My name is Mark and I’ve been browsing this forum for years and recently I’ve joined your forum because I finally moved from a planted tank to a Pico reef tank. Well here’s a little story of how that went. I ended up on an impulse buy going to Petco and picking up one of their...

Long time lurker, infrequent poster here. May be a bit of a late start here but I’d like to have a journal for this tank now. At least I shouldn’t need to report on the uglies now! Start date was January 2018, and it has survived the move from an apartment to our house in March 2019. It’s had...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the hobby and would like to know if Bio-media placement is crucial. I'm using the Evo 13.5 and would like to know if the bio-media can sit beneath my skimmer in the chamber furthest to the right in this picture (The overflow chamber)...

Being in this hobby and loving to create and invent things and this is one of them. I hope you like it First thing is the tank is 20g 12/20/20 inches but the system is 30g 12/20/29 but we here at innovative acrylic we don’t count the filtration as the size of the tank just to seem bigger Also...

Hi everyone! First time documenting a reef build and only our 2nd tank on the Reef side of the hobby. We started with a Fluval AIO M60 24 gallon tank. It is 3 years old and has been a good tank for starting off. Now after saving up it is time to go with our dream tank. In comes the JBJ 65...

Hello all! Recently I've noticed that my current tank has started to get air in the silicone seals and I figured that maybe a tank upgrade would be appropriate. I want to do things right this time. I am going to be upgrading from an IM Nuvo 20 to a Lagoon 25. Since I did not have enough pictures...

Starting a build thread for my 50 lagoon. Tank should arrive at LFS on Tuesday. Custom stand should be done Wednesday. I currently have a 53 gallon setup with sump. I will be adding new Marco rock and seeding it with some rock from the 53 gallon. Sand and livestock will transfer over to new...

Hello all, I have a Nuvo Fusion 20 that has started to get air in the silicone seals in various spots around the tank. The tank itself is about 4 years old and has seen many different tank scapes and environment types. I was looking at switching it out with another tank, but I am unsure if I...

I have a lot of hair algae in my chamber which I use as an refugium to grow chaeto. The chaeto grows very nicely but so as hair algae. It becomes very thick in less than a week everytime I clean it. My main display has little to no algae though. Just some on the glass. I run the light for my...

Hi there, I'm a high school science teacher looking at adding a ~100 galloon mixed reef setup to my chemistry classroom. I'm looking at placing the tank behind my desk by a window where the tank could possibly be viewed in the hallway as well. A see-through peninsula is not a must, but would be...

New to Nano's but not to reefing! This is my first post on R2R. - Just bought the tank at the Petco dollar per gallon sale for $20. - Removed Rim with a hot wire and hot knife to melt plastic and silicone. In the next week I will be basing my design off the Innovative Marine fusion 20g...

Here is my Nuvo Fusion 10 I recently got going again. I replaced the stock pump with a Sicce Syncra Silent 0.5. I swapped out the stock filter sock for a media basket. I am currently using floss and Seachem Matrix Carbon, along with regular matrix. I have a Cobalt Neo-therm with an Inkbird WiFi...

I have a 30 gallon JBJ AIO, I'm considering running a sump/ refugium on it. Suggestions on skimmer, sump, return pump ? Tank is 18 months old and I'm getting bored with it. Lol

This is my new Red Sea E Max 260 build. I've been out of the hobby since 2009 when I used to have a 12 gallon JBJ Nano cube deluxe. I had some success with that tank as mostly a FOWLR tank. I have been wanting to get back into the hobby for many years and now with my young daughter around I...

JUST A LITTLE PROJECT I DID WITH TWO TANKS I HAD LYING AROUND ONE WAS A 40 BREEDER THE OTHER WAS A 29 GALLON BIOCUBE, TAKING THE FALSE WALL OUT OF THE CUBE WAS ALOT EASIER WHEN YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THE REST OF THE TANK...LOL

Greetings everyone! We've had our JBJ 28 gal AIO for a long time. It's gone through all kinds of iterations over the years, but the current is our favorite. It houses a group of 4 orange skunk clowns, 2 designer clowns, 2 long tentacle anemones and, a group of baby mangroves. Of course, right...

Hello, I have a LifeGard 24g AIO with a sponge, a bag of small bio ceramic blocks, and some carbon-filled plastic balls. It is running on an ApexEL controller. I would like to upgrade (both as a means of improving my water but also as a means of learning more about water mgmt): A) Upgrade my...

Ok, so I have this LifeGard 29g AIO. When is full too full? I have been watching the water level in the back-sump go down over the past few days. I finally got my RODI system so I figured I would top it off. I tried making the tank and the back-sump the same level but suddenly it came VERY close...
