hello

I’ve been running a nano freshwater for years and moved over to salt in the nano about a year ago. Corals are doing well for the most part but it is a harder tank to maintain given the small 9 gallon size. I’m upgrading to a 32 gallon but the stand seems to be delayed. I was hoping to jump...

Hey All, just joined thd forum. I have been reefing since i was 18 and am 46 now. Have been keeping aquariums since the age of 11. I enjoy all aspects of the hobby. Currently running a 150 gallon mixed reef (had a major alk spike a short while back and never figured out the root cause but...

Hey All, I actually have a 40G freshwater tank for my fancy goldfish. I know this is a reef forum but there is tons of useful info on here and I am looking to plumb my tank soon. Its my first time plumbing a tank so I will be looking for advice. Thanks! If someone could suggest which forum is...

Hi I’m Angela. Just getting back into the hobby after 12 years. (Had a 110 gallon for 5 years) Needed a lamp and convinced myself an evo was perfect. Was cycling and now that Im ready I cant go into a store to pick out my critters and corals. So.... I started cycling a second one.

Hello everyone I’m new here. I just recently got into the reef hobby and bought a 29 gallon Biocube. It’s not stock at all. . I’m in Myrtle beach SC and it seems like we have a big growing community here. I’m excited to see what this hobby has in store for me over the years. Happy reefing everyone.

Hey everyone! Looking forward to getting to know everyone and brush back up on my knowledge before I take the plunge back into the hobby... I had a poor attempt at a reef tank back (no sump, hang off protein skimmer, aiptasia infestation) in 2012 when I was stationed in Anchorage AK in the Air...

Hi! My name is Rosie, I'm a paramedic student. I have a golden retriever named peanut. I've had freshwater tanks/fish in the past, but ever since I lived in Okinawa, Japan I've wanted a saltwater tank. Until now it has been out of my price range. I just started a 'nano' reef tank. It currently...

How's it going everyone. I could have sworn I had an account on here but I guess not. I've had a JBJ28 set up for about 2 years now. (Well my wife has) I'm going to be taking it down and restarting it now that she's grown bored of it. I had a 75g reef over 10 years ago so I'm going to be...

Hello, My name is Seth. I am 20 years old and have actually been on R2R for a while but have never made a tank post or really said anything about my tanks. I currently have a Waterbox 100.3. This is my 5th tank and I hope to keep it for a long time. I have been in the hobby for 3 years now. I...

Hello everyone! Just dropping in to say "Hi" and Happy Thanksgiving! Regards!

Hey everyone, thought I’d introduce myself. My name is Jo and I’m relatively new to reefing and salt water fish. I grew up keeping several different fresh water systems, turtles and reptiles so I’ve always been into these types of hobbies. We had renovations at work and had a massive saltwater...

Hi Everyone, I have been reading here for a long time but never signed up, so I decided it was about time. Currently I have a 65 gallon reef tank with 20gal sump. 2x AI Prime HD.

I have had a number of tanks, both fresh and marine over the years. My work required a lot of frequent and sometimes long trips, so having a tank was not an option (mainly for my wife). I had my last tank in 2006, a 130l nano with a mixed reef setup (photos attached). Thinking of getting a...

Hello guys, I am Chris and a new hobbyist to the reef world! I previously kept planted tanks, bred guppies and now breeding caridina shrimps such as Pure Red Line, Black Pinto, etc. I have always been a fan of saltwater aquariums, would always stopped for a long time to watch and observe a...

Hey all, As stated, longtime 'lurker' of the threads as I've tried to absorb as much information as possible for my relatively basic and small 55g LPS/Softy tank! Figured it would be a good idea to join in on the conversations as I always aim to be a student of the hobby and love seeing the...

Hello everyone! I just started my first saltwater aquarium - a 10 g nano reef. I had a freshwater, fish only aquarium some years ago, with cichlids, but I had to sell it when I moved to Spain (I am originally from Poland). I always wanted to live by the sea and luckily I moved very close to the...

Hello everyone, I'm a fire alarm technician by day, and I like to tinker at night. We like to joke about how someone "let out the magic smoke" when we come across dead electronics in the field, hence the title. This evening I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver some 1/4" conductive copper tape...
