hello

New here, needed a nice community where I won’t be judged, Reddit really has some haters on there and always trying to put you down it’s weird. Hoping to learn a lot from all of you!

My first attempt at a reef. Overall pleased with the result so far after a year and some change. It’s funny how my taste in corals and visual lighting have changed so much since I started. I would love to change some things, but honestly just going to leave it as is and let it do its thing. If...

I've been in the hobby for quite some time now since I was roughly 10, however I have lately been really getting into it after being hired at a LFS in the area. Right now i've got a few tanks including a 55 freshwater, though this is a saltwater fourm so I should probably detail my saltwater...

Have just started posting on the thread after years of inactive participation and lurking lol. I'm a PA based reefer getting back into the hobby after several years away. My previous endeavors were in the nano size, and my current project is a 60 gallon shallow. Feel free the check out my...

This is my first reef tank (75 gallon + 30 gallon sump) that I purchased in July '23, I'm from the Chicagoland area in Illinois. I have kept freshwater before and also have a large koi pond! So far I love saltwater and my tank is stocked with: 2 clowns Blue Hippo Yellow Wrasse Mandarin Goby Ruby...

I have completed all of the steps, good luck everyone!!

I'm very late to this type of thread... my account has been up for a few months now but I might as well do it! I've been reefing now for 4 years and have struggled with my tank until I joined these forums! My first thread was about my GHA and it never going away. Everybody has been very helpful...

Howdy! I'm in my mid twenties and live in south central Indiana. I started my first saltwater tank back in January of 2022. My current set up is a basic 10 gallon with a YWG and pistol shrimp pair. Then I have a 29 gallon that I have plumbed to a 6 gallon refugium/coral tank that gravity feeds...

Im not *new* per se but realized I never posted a Hello so here I am. I have about 9 years of reefing experience, started with a 10g innovative marine and currently have a resealed Marineland 300g DD. I am a sps guy mostly but I love a mixed reef. In my dreams I dream of a long predator tank.

Hey everybody! This is officially my second post on the R2R forum. I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself, and see if there are any other Louisiana reefers out there. I am currently building a 2 gallon pico reef in a jar. Feel free to check out my build thread and leave some...

Hello! New to the forum and just got my first ‘big’ tank! Ive been running a Fluval Evo Marine (50L) for a few years and just manage to upgrade to a RedSea Reefer 250! Just began my cycle using Red Sea Mature Pro, although not convinced I’m doing it right since my Amonia (0.50ppm), Nitrite...

Hello everyone, I want to buy world wide corals mushrooms, frog spawns, and zoanthids but I have a 13 gallon fluval tank. Can I put these coral in this tank, thank you

Hi everyone! I’ve finally joined the marine hobby after so many years of wanting to be part of it. I’ve become obsessed with it and researching stuff constantly. My Fluval flex 123l got filled yesterday by the natural seawater supplier company. They’ll be proving me with water from now on ...

Im new to saltwater tanks. I currently have a 36 gallon and 5 gallon set up. Im excited to grow in this hobby. Heres a video of my watchman goby and pistol shrimp pairing up for the first time in the 5 gal.

Hello, I'm new to this hobby. I've made my way to this thread but I cannot really find anything about W.M.A.R.S. Where is this club located and where to find more info about it? Thank you!

Hello all, my name is Daniela and I've been lurking for a while and wanted to say hi. I'm in Arizona and just got into reefing. I've had fresh water tanks before, and wanted to try my hand at creating a salt water ecosystem. I have been enjoying learning about the ecology / biology / chemistry...

Hello everyone! I am kind of new to the hobby. I had simple SMALL freshwater tanks forever. Mostly Betas. Well, last October, our last Beta died of old age at 4.5 years. He lived his whole life in a 1.5 gallon cheapo PLASTIC tank with no light, no filters, and monthly 100% water changes where...

Back into the R2R community with a new account. It’s been a while. I live in Asheville NC, have two Nano Tanks one new Waterbox Cube 20 and a 3 year old Evo 13.5. Hope everyone is well.

Hello! I am new here, but not new to the hobby. I have had saltwater tanks off and on since the mid 80s. That's only 5 or 6 years ago, right? Lol. I currently have a 125 gallon, mostly predator tank. I have a couple small frags in it. I HAD a really nice 40g reef, until our puppy decided to chew...

Hi All. Here is my intro... First, I'm not a fan of sharks in an aquarium - my name refers to my love of the San Jose Sharks - I had season tickets when they first came into the league. I moved to Colorado over 20 years ago, and live about an hour north of Denver - Avalanche country. I'm a...

Hello Reef 2 Reef Members. I just wanted to introduce myself. Brand new to hobby but feel like I have watched days of YouTube videos and read a lot of blog post on here about starting my aquarium. Starting w/ a 65 gallon / 15 gallon sump. Will try to start my build post today of what I set up so...

So I always been into tanks from as early as I coils remember. My dad had a fresh water 55 growing up. Fast forward to when I was 21, I got me my first own tank, was fresh water. Had a jack dempsey and two Oscars. I never did water checks, even had times when I was young and dumb and would just...

Hey everyone! My name is Tyler. I live in Southern Louisiana, around New Orleans area. I am brand new to the hobby. I never thought it was something I could do, then I watched the How-To Guide from BRS on YouTube, now I have a 50 gallon Innovative Marine display tank in one room, and 10 gallon...

Hey all, really excited to start my account on R2R! I've been reading everyone’s entertaining threads on here for a while, but finally decided to create an account because I have a new project I’d like some help with :)
