cube

So I am new to saltwater. I bought a used setup from OfferUp that needed some work so I have been working on it (stand had water damage, black back needed to be scraped, light connectors corroded, etc.). As of today, the stand is done and the back is scraped. I have the material to fix the...

This is my waterbox 20. It is a new tank, but the rocks and coral have been cycled through 3 of my previous tanks. - AI Prime 16 HD -AI Nero 5

Hello fellow reefers! I recently purchased a Waterbox aquarium and decided to make up a build thread. This will be my second tank but I want this to be my first "do it right" tank since my first one was filled with error and is quickly turning into an aiptasia haven... ;Sorry I am making this...

Ok...here we go. I recently moved and bought a 135 gallon Crystal Dynamic aquarium. The tank is 36 by 36 by 24, and it has a stand a canopy as well. I have had reef tanks since I was about 15 and about 15 years later finally decided buy my first new tank. It definitely came with a price tag, but...

OK here goes, my first build thread. Please be critical and lemme know what you would do to make it better. Here are a few pics, 1 week in. Equipment is still modest, as I have only added an Icecap Gyre 2K so far. This is an Aquatop AOI. 32 lbs of rock and 40 lbs of sand. I left a little...

Hey y'all, wanted to share my first tank with the community here! ✌ My name's Andrew, and this is my foray into reefkeeping. Excited to be around such knowledgeable and passionate members! Cycled the tank with the Microbacter Start XLM. I carelessly didn't read the instructions and ran live...

So here we are. As the title states, we went to our LFS to pick up a Betta for our little one, but as we were checking out I spotted my girlfriend eyeing a lonely tank in the corner. An Aquatop Recife 40 Gallon All-In-One, who was desperate for a home. This would be her first-ever tank, so we...

Hi Considering taking my 60cm cube (24 inches) live, but not happy with its simple glass box sump. I want to run a refugium and a skimmer, also want space for a media (going to run Orca Lab bio cubes) in the sump. Any designs out there that works under cubes this size? What small footprint...

Recently acquired a 93g cube 30x30x24. I think it was a custom built tank as I haven't seen any others like it. Bought the whole setup from someone and plan to use as much as that equipment as I can. Fairly new to the saltwater scene. I have a 13.5g fluval evo going, but I've never had anything...

Does anyone have a 55G Aqueon (Petco) tank they want to get rid of. Have ordered a sump kit from Jax.racks on eBay and the 55G I have is too narrow at 12.25", and they made their sump kit to fit a 55G Aqueon tank which is 12.75" wide. Also why I'm at it, a 40G breeder would also be useful as a...

Hi everyone! Been lurking around for a few months and today I decided to join. I had a 20g LPS/Softie tank a couple years ago that I had to break down not having enough time to maintain and appreciate it. I’m getting back into reefing with a 8g cube (12’*12’*13.8’H) running just a large HOB...

I’m new to reefing but bought an established tank with decent sized fish. I’ve got a Foxface (4-5”), blue tang (3-4”), coral beauty (3”), cardinal (3”) and two new clowns (1”) I just added. I feed approximately 1 cube total of frozen food daily and a quarter sheet of nori. I use a variety...

Hello again, R2R! During quarantine, I have decided to get back into reefing. Digging through R2R again, seeing all the great tanks, and doing tons of research has been a really great way to keep my mind occupied and my stress levels down. ----- Equipment: DT: Mr. Aqua 7.5-gallon cube...

Greetings everyone! Long time lurker to the forums though I’ve just recently just begun to give any input/make posts as all of my questions have been answered by you guys/gals in previous posts. Anyway, a little about myself. I’m new to the reef keeping, but not to being a saltwater marine...

I finally did it, just returned home from placing my order for a new Planet Aquariums reef ready 60 gallon cube!! Update 5-17-20 Its here!!

Has anyone setup a RUGF in a cube aquarium? I’m going to be setting up a Reefer XL 200, which is about 24”x23”. I see most UGF filter plates sized for longer tanks, and I’m not sure how to arrange those for a cube, even with two 10”x20” plates.

So. I purchased a 90g tank sumpstand and accessories for $400 from a guy that’s going an upgrade/downgrade from 5 tanks to 2. It was too good to be true. so everything is loaded up, and I’m taking it home. I’m super excited to move my 36 to a 90. well. We get the stand in the front door and...

I'm upsizing from a IM nuvo 20g to a SCA 50g cube. I found a good deal on a used tank with sump and skimmer, so had to pull the trigger. This is going to be my first tank with a sump. :oops: In the past, I started with a Fluval 5g, then a Fluval 13.5g, and now the IM Nuvo 20g. Baby steps...

55 gallon, corner flow cube tank, stand, plumbing, skimmer, return pump, sump, gyre wave maker, heater, Kessil 360 we, how do I sell this all together?? Or do I separate stuff? I need advice plz. Thank u.

Hello all! My Waterbox cube 20 return pump keeps running dry. Causing it to grind and spit sand all over my tank. I have initially thought that it was just the media in the back causing the pump to eventually dry out because not enough water would flow into the far right chamber. However, the...

New here, just wanted to share my custom build with all of you, i custom built the stand and made it in white acrylic over a sheet of quartz to make sure it was sitting level.this is a downgrade from my previous 65 gallons, i wanted something small built to my taste. The tank is a SCA 45 gallons...

Hey Guys, My names Andrew and I'm from Western Australia and am brand new to these forums. Thought I'd start a build thread for my new 60cm x 60cm x 52cm mixed reef tank. Mostly for myself so I can look back at the progress being made, but hopefully some people will enjoy following along too...

This is my new tank. It's a Nuvo 40 EXT - the overflow is Herbie-style and exterior/upper left of the tank. I'm getting back into this after a few years out. I started with a biocube 29 and am now onto a more sophisticated tank. It's still a work in progress. I'm trying to automate it and keep...

Hi all! My name is Cody from Charlotte, NC and I am starting up my very first reef tank. Ever since considering starting up a tank, I have done the vast majority of my reading on reef2reef. I thought it would be a fun adventure to join the community and begin with documenting my first tank...
