Hopefully this will help some people. This is a video of a tank I put together showing the flow through the tank using the above mentioned equipment. The Jebao Pump is set at W1, Speed 3, Knob turned all the way to slow, using a RFG nozzle off a Coralife S-1000 pump.
Hopefully you can see the...
I'm in the process of setting up my first saltwater tank. It's a 60 Gal cube with a custom 20G High as a sump. I'm finally at the stage of leak testing my plumbing. However, I can't get it to maintain a consistent water level in the overflow box.
I'm using a Herbie overflow and can't seem to...
Hi everyone! First time reefer, forum-er, acrylic tank builder (65L, 17 US Gallons). The purpose of this thread is to give 'live' updates of what I'm doing/buying (with their reasons) so that:
1) I can keep track of my tank for posterity (if I can get anything to live in it!!)
2) Other brand...
Hi All - I have a Waterbox 20 cube that has been setup for ~6 months so far. Tank has been pretty stable and the newer SPS frags I have put in have been doing well thus far. Looking for some thoughts on what I should do next. Interested in adding a fish (potentially if I can find room in...

This is a great walkthrough for anyone who is new...
Hi,
I had a Marine Land 60 gallon cube rimless. Cracked in the middle of the night. I'm really having nightmares and afraid of this happening again. My stand was custom build and level. Didn't have too much gravel and after 3 months my tank was done.
I have been looking for a replacement and...
There have been reef tanks in my household from the day I was born thanks to my dad. I've been personally reef keeping on my own since 13? I don't recall, it was a long time ago. I'm not 31, my wife and I purchased our first home and are expecting our first baby in November. I'm ready to setup a...
Hi! I just bought an AI Nero 3 for my Waterbox Cube 10. I wanted to know what are your settings/schedule and its placement! No corals at the moment, but eventually. Thank you!
Hey guys,
I'm getting back into the hobby after a year off due to work commitments. I really missed it.
So, I've gone with the Aqua Nano 40 Cube (40x40cm) for my tank. I thought of buying the stand for it but realized that I could DIY one for a fraction of the price, so I've given myself this...
I have all of the necessary plumbing: PVC/Bulkheads/Locline Return. It also comes with a glass lid that has a folding portion. The sump is roughly 25 gallons.
$150 for everything.
Thanks for looking!
Hi all,
I’ve got a new Waterbox Marine X 35.1 aquarium that I’ve had set up for <1 month thus far. I have a few soft corals and two RBTA which are all doing well, and two clownfish. My plan for this aquarium is to do an SPS dominant reef with a few zoanthids and mushrooms. Currently in my sump...
Hello fellow reefers,
Looking for some advice on lighting my tank, as I am not happy with the current visual aesthetic. I have a 165W black box (actually don't know the brand, got it from another reefer who said "it was the best around 2014"). My first corals (LPS and Zoa) are doing great and...

Would this be okay in regards to compatibly...
Below is from a slightly older post but everything still applies plus I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp.
I have a 14 gallon cube currently with a pair of young percula clownfish (one is probably 2 inches or so and the other might be 1.5ish), as well as several hermit crabs and snails, with...
Hello everyone!
I am looking to upgrade from my nano 30 to a 50 gallon cube.

Ok, my time as come to start by build thread. I've been watching @Tonycass12 @Arcu2 @FrontRangeReefer Marine X 60.2 threads, but probably time to start mine. Just to document progress, ask questions and contribute my own experience for others. No ETA for the tank yet, but hopefully soon. This...
I am a first time reefer getting started with a CADE REEF 600 S2. I have had previous fresh water tanks and wanted to try my hand at a mixed reef tank.
Started my research on Red Sea AIO tanks, but then I came across the CADE systems. I liked the aluminum and glass stand, built in ATO, and pre...
Hello there! I'm Daan, and this is going to be my first reef build journal here. I've been in the freshwater hobby for over 15 years and recently decided to make the jump to saltwater.
Freshwater and aquascaping has always my main hobby and passion. Countless planted tanks have been setup and...
Hello,
Welcome to my documentation and journey with this amazing hobby.
This system has been set up for the last two years but the first year was nothing but issues. I would lose acropora and LPS from RTN and polyp bailout. After many ICP tests and nearly throwing in the towel I found that I...
Hello everyone,
I am new to the community so excuse my ignorance. I found my love for reef tanks in my teens, but my minimum wage job at 16 couldn’t dream of keeping up with the hobby, so I gave up on it. Now that I make adult money, and still don’t have children to feed, I can try again.
I...
