cube

Hello R2R, Unfortunately my busy and crazy life has me neglecting my tank, and it’s not fair to everything inside, so I’ve decided I’m going to leave the hobby for awhile. It’s an 80g SCA long cube, it’s just under 3 years old. The tank still has water and is still running as this is being...

Hello all. I have a 20g water box cube that keeps bottoming out phosphates and nitrates, which caused Dino’s. I fought Dino’s (prorocentrum to be exact) for over 10 months. I won, but then the diatoms took over and became out of control. We then moved out of an apartment and into a house so i...

I've posted in a few places about my otherwise undocumented 15 gallon cube, which was the first marine aquarium I ever set up. It passed 2 years old in November and I've learned a lot about what to do and not do on that tank. It's been rescaped once and treated with different things. Generally...

Hello everyone, I got into this hobby about three years ago with a 20-gallon HOB tank, took a break during the COVID then returned last winter with two nano tanks. Interestingly, this hobby seems to captivate me mostly in the winter months. I recently decided to pursue my dream tank. For the...

Hey all so this is my return to the hobby after over a decade. My last tank was a custom built 90gal total water 120g peninsula tank. I tore it down when I was leaving for school and I haven’t been able to get back in for one reason or another. With that said I am planning my comeback and I...

I'm having a hard time finding companies that make quality 60 gallon true cubes! It was my first successful reef tank years ago and I'm trying to get back into it! Point me in the right direction if you know good rebutable brands. Fairly priced too hopefully....

Hello everyone, I have an aquatop 40 gallon cube tank. This is my first ever saltwater tank. I am semi okay with the aqua scape but at some point in the future I definitely want to redo it. I am running radion xr 15 g6 for lighting and this tank is an lps softie tank.

Hi there guys. Just doing what the welcome message recommended and starting up a thread so I can keep track of progress on my first saltwater aquarium. This is how it looks right now. I plan to add a little more dry rock to it (on the right side). I will update with pics as I go! Thanks for...

Hello all, Looking to add a controllable light to my Aquatop 40 cube (21.7×21.7×21.7). Love the look and coverage of the 30w actinic blue and white it comes with but I want it to be more controllable than 2 on off switches on the cord. I ordered the current usa orbit 24 but the app was not...

Dirty secret time. I buy and sell used reef gear to support my hobby. Whether it's a full system, a cheap piece of gear from an upgrade, or a (fixable) broken piece of kit, a little bit of vinegar and "sweat equity" goes a long way to making an expensive hobby affordable. The general strategy is...

I’m looking to get an AIO chamber cover made preferably out of black acrylic so it looks good. I have a waterbox 20 and I would like it to basically just extend the back glass of my display and the sides of the AIO chambers by about 4” to help hide equipment and wires and also prevent algae...

Hello everyone, We’ll start this off with a little history lesson. I grew up with various freshwater tanks including one right outside my bedroom window in the form of a 400 acre lake stocked with a multitude of different fish and animals. Growing up I visited aquariums over the years and...

Intro: I've been away from reefing for a decade. With the fast pace of life, I have missed the patience and focus that this hobby required for success. I'm excited to get connected back into it. I have never done a build thread, but felt it would be a good practice to record the activity for...

Hello everyone, I've been out of the hobby for about 6 years but i had been quite active in the hobby prior to that dating back to 2002. I had 3 tanks in the past, a 85 gallon half hex, 29 biocube, and 20 gallon standard tank. My kids are now at the age where they have taken a real interest in...

So I broke down one of my fresh water planted tanks to do a rescape, and after looking at it empty and sanitized for a few weeks I got the crazy idea to make it into my first saltwater tank. I can say I’ve never spent as much time on any site as I have here researching. So I’m excited to keep a...

Well, after starting over 2 months ago, I figure I ought to start an official tank thread so that I can post updates and others can follow along on this journey. I posted in the welcome page about 1 month ago, but I’ll provide a few tank specs so that you can follow along. I have a rimless...

Hello all! Thank you for checking out my salt water journey! I have a lot to learn am excited to see what happens! I will be listing details in this thread of major events of the tank (dates of set up, new additions, w pictures!) Note that all equipment was cleaned prior to any use. Please also...

I started back into the hobby 4 months ago and forgot how much patience is required. My nano tank is still pretty new, but I decided I want a little bit more space and a cleaner setup for the long term. So....instead of keeping my little practice WaterBox for a year and then starting a new tank...
