community tank

Hi reef2reef! I am starting a 32 gallon seahorse tank, and I plan on adding macroalgae instead of corals for that lush, planted look. I will be adding a pair of male seahorses (I wouldn't be able to take care of any babies!) My questions are: 1) When should I add the macroalgae? Before or...

Hello, I am setting up my first-ever 125 gallon soft coral reef tank. I'm interested in buying a clam as they look very beautiful, and I heard they help as a form of natural filtration. I was thinking of getting a Squamosa Clam or Maxima Clam, or some other beginner-friendly species. I know...

Hi everyone, can a tuxedo urchin and a diadema urchin live in the same 75 gallon tank or is having only the one best? I'm working on building up my clean up crew. (Bonus pic of Quill aka Sir Quillsalot, pretending to be king of the reef).

Last year's freeze in TX hit my 6 yo tank pretty hard and I didn't have a battery powered heater or pump to save it :( Unfortunately, most of the fish, the inverts, coral, and sponges did not survive. I take a lot of pride in the care of my critters so, losing so much of my tank so quickly hit...

I have a 55 gallon display with a 20 gallon sump. Moving over from my 32 biocube is a pair of clowns, a Royal gramma, a tailspot blenny, and a tiger pistol shrimp. The pistol used to be paired with a watchman goby and I’d like to get him another goby, looking for suggestions on what other gobies...

Hello all, I am nearing completion on my fully DIY 150gallon reef tank. The tank that I made is 60”x24”x24” and has a 50gallon sump. I am using about 2” of sand, as well as some NSA rock sculptures I made (about 120lbs of rock). The sump will contain an 11”x11”x11” chaeto refugium, 4L+ of...

So I have a little over 6 month post cycled JBJ45 cube I've been thinking about adding a new member to. This is a mixed reef tank, so would need to be reef safe. So far I have: A pair of Clowns Randall's Goby w/ a pistol shrimp Purple Firefish Bicolor Blenny I've thought about a captive...

Hey y'all! So I just discovered a new hitchhiker in my reef community tank. This hitchhiker resides in a live rock I've had since mid-February of this year (2 mths). I am having a hard time identifying it. I have included a video I took today...

Hey everyone I'm thinking of adding 5 or 6 Talbots Damsels to my 55 gallon reef. The tank currently has a sail fin tang, lawnmower blenny, chalk basslet, clownfish and twinspot hogfish. The tang is still small. Would it be okay to add Talbot damsels?

Hey everyone I was at the LFS the other day and some Talbots Damsels really caught my eye. I love their coloration! Are they like other damsels, extremely aggressive or are they a more peaceful one that can be kept in a community reef?

I've got a 90long tank going. The idea is for it to end up being a "community" reef, peaceful for the most part is the hope. We want a pair of clowns... (I know;Facepalm) a. ocellaris seems to be the best bet. I really like the look and idea of symbiosis but I am torn on the idea of a nem...

Hello, Little background, I have a community Wrasse tank with about 6 wrasses in it. 5 different types of leopard wrasse and a Radiant wrasse. The radiant wrasse has always rubbed and itched on rocks since I got him more than any fish I have owned before. I have had him for about 8 months now...
