display tank

Hey guys, So I'm semi new to the hobby (a year?), and had a couple of Ich outbreaks. I didn't do the QT setup and all, so I went into Ich management. Feeding fish (tangs, damsels, garden eels, doctor wrasse, trigger) and inverts (strawberry conch, hermit crabs) and one anemone. All eating...

In today's video, we get an update on our retail store display, and we add in our mangrove! Watch the entire video for updates, tips, and more in this episode! Do you use mangroves in your reef systems? Would you add a mangrove to your tank or a future build? Let us know in the comments! Be...

Has anyone successfully integrated a macro algae into their system? I was thinking of splitting my overflow to put about 80% to my refugium and 20% to a macro tank. The output from the macro would go to the skimmer chamber in the refugium. thoughts?

OK so long story short around March 9, 2024 I noticed my fish (2 clowns) breathing heavily and I didn't know what was going on. I bought at that time, a cardinal fish from my local fish store and thought maybe it was a disease brought by that new fish. It was weird because my two clown fishes...

So about a month or so ago I saw both of my clownfish struggling to breathe. They were breathing fast, not eating, staying on the sand, and they were definitely not acting like themselves. The thing is that I did not know what was happening. Besides those symptoms, they looked fine. No white...

Hi everyone. So today I was cleaning my dt and finally have had enough with my choice of substrate. I choose fine sand thinking I’d get this nice smooth sand bed but that’s all from reality. It looks great for an hour but then you’ll come back to look at the tank and it’s just big piles of sand...

Its been over a year since I've had a tank and it feels... odd. While I've been hunting for the "perfect" tank( and still am) I wanted to set up something small for now. And so here it is Equipment: Innovative Marine 50 Gallon Lagoon 3x Radion XR30 G4 Pro 1x MP40 1x Tunze Osmolator Helio Smart...

Was looking into getting myself a Reefbreeders photon v2 Pro light fixture and was curious on what peoples tanks are looking like with the light! Plan to run an LPS/Soft mixed reef. 36"L x 18" W x 24.5" H these are my dimensions

I recently added my first inhabitants to my display tank, 2 Red Sea clownfish and a turbo snail. They are all seemingly healthy, except that the larger female clownfish has a suspected ich white spot on her skin directly next to her eye. Since I have not added any corals to the tank yet, should...

Hello everyone! I am noticing quite a bit of flashing from my Midas blenny after recently adding a new purple tang. I noticed a little white and stringy poo coming from the purple tang. They are both eating good. I don’t see any ich on them. I am trying to put all these signs together and see...

Selling my 75 gallon Deep Blue rimless tank. I’m moving and I need to sell the tank only. Built in overflow. Drilled for drain and return. Overflow plumbing included. I’m breaking it down this weekend. Has no leaks. I’m located in a Broward county, Florida. Pick up only.

Hi Everyone, I bought an electus mushroom coral about 2 weeks ago, but lately I’ve been noticing it doesn’t look very good, it’s either extending looking closed up or folded up, I noticed most fish stores have them in little boxes or trays, separate from the others, is that something I must do...

Hi everyone I’ve been on a reefing hiatus for the past few years after my wife gave birth to our 2 little girls, ages 1 & 2, and my last reef tank, 40B, was 4 years in before it kind of went on auto pilot while I was taking care of two babies one after the next. Anyhow, somehow between then...

Hi Everyone, First post sorry if it's not great. I have just finished setting up my Reef 70.2 and need some advice as a newbie to having a system with a sump. Essentially I need some assistance to know if the water level is too high in my display tank? If so how do I lower it? The sump is...

Hi R2R, I have a build log on my local forum BAR. But I want to start one here as well because I find the peer review to be invaluable as a newcomer to reefing. The first few posts will be copied from my existing build log. This is my apartment build because I was limited to 25g and unlike many...

So, long story short I have everything that comes with a WB Reef 70.2 system other than the stand. I had quite some issues with the original order getting to me with a complete nondamaged stand that WB sent out a whole new system freighted. I've water tested both the sump and display tank with 0...

Forst time with ich. Please let me know if I should do anything besides what I am doing. Removed all fish from DT to a 40g hospital tank. Added a hob filter with filter floss only(no carbon media), added a sponge filter and air pump to increase O2, added some PVC and other areas for fish to...

So today was day 12 of no signs of ICH, so I made the big jump and double transferred from my qt, copper treated tank to my display tank, and now in tanklimate for 2-3 days. I've never done quarantine or used the tanklimate, hopefully I did all I can to have a safe environment for all the fish.

Hi everyone, After being a reefer for 3 years, i am finally building my frag tank. Go big doesn't cost a lot more, so it seems to be the bigger system i got the cheaper it is per gallon. Tank size 90x36x14 around 200 gallon Sump 72x22x16 around 100 gallon Return Pump L2 Skimmer Pump L2 Skimmer...

Hello, reefers! Wife and I moved into our new place with an option to put the reef tank in-wall with a fish room behind it. As of now, we are planning to have our 75G installed in the wall and maybe open up the wall more few years down the line when we decide to expand the aquarium. The...

I was both impressed and financially depressed when I realized how many frags I have.

just a little background, mostly a fish only guy from the 80s and 90s. Transplanted the FLORIDA in 87 and built my first DT in ‘87, 100 gallon with your basic canister and UV sterilizer, a handful of t8 twisted bulbs and UG filter. Raised clowns, tangs, damsels, emopoer angel and only lost a...

Hey Everyone, Anyone have recommendations for macroalgae in the DT? Avoiding chaeto since it can cover everything up. Looking for aesthetics and the usual nitrate reduction properties. Also a little safe haven for pods. I have heard of shaving bush but looking for more options thanks!

Hi, my name is Seth and I've decided to get out of hobby. I've sold off about half my items so far. My wife and I just had our 3rd child, so I don't have time to properly take care of my tanks anymore. I will be listing the rest of my items shortly, but these are the large items that I cannot...
