Hello everyone! After several months in this hobby, I finally joined this forum but still as a silent reader, digging here and there for others' knowledge and experience. I gotta say that every single post and comment, even the contradictive ones, helped me much along the way as I slowly...

Hi all, I have a Fluval 13.5 that was given to me (set up for a few years prior) that I have now had for alittle over a year. It’s a mixed reef set up with a black clown, orchid dottyback, porcelain crab, Pom Pom crab, peppermint shrimp, one small red fromia star, a small CUC, some bubble tips...

Introduction:Embarking on the journey of setting up a new reef tank is an exciting endeavor that requires careful thought, meticulous planning, and a deep passion for the beauty and complexity of coral reefs. As an experienced reef hobbyist with a strong focus on coral specimens, I find myself...

I recently got this torch and I am wondering where I can move it after get adjusted to my water parameters. I would like to place it where those link zoas are or to the right of the rainbow bubble tip nem. But I fear of too much flow or light in either possible location. What do you think?

I recently dosed magnesium like an idiot since I got hair algae and someone more experienced said magnesium allows more species of algae to grow so hair algae will get out competed. So I dosed 4ml of fritz RPM mag. I am unsure if before or after the mag spike is when the hammer started acting...

New build incoming :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes: Just upgraded from a Fluval Evo 13.5 to a JBJ RF-25 that I got during the BRS Black Friday sale. Absolutely loving this tank so far, the stand is sleek and I love the rimless look that's maintained with the glass lid. Sticking with the stock...

Unfortunately after a great year I am having to move and cannot take my tank with me. This tank is set up to be very easy with minimal maintenance needed. Custom lid to house light and reduce water top off. 2-3 week water changes and that’s it. Has built in Cheato refugium and added 7 gallon...

I'm using a Spectra Aqua Knight V2 light on my 18inch cube AIO mixed reef. The light is 36 watts at max power. But at max power, the light looks just white! My setting is 100% blue, 100% royal blue, and 40% white. Still, it looks very much white! I tried reducing the white to as low as 0-10%...

Setting up the tank this Sunday and have made a few scapes, there’s about 8 pounds of rock here and the tank is 15, any suggestions or recommendations on which scale to use or how to improve, also I was wondering if using just a small piece of live rock can seed the tank because it’s really...

Slow day at work so I figured I would finally write up a build thread to document and show my progress. I started back in March this year when someone gifted me an Evo 13.5 boy what a rabbit hole I have fallen down since then. I have taken care of freshwater fish in the past, but marine is...

Hey! I finally am on my way to setting up a NEW TANK!! i have a 16g BioCube LED, which I thought was brand new, but now I’m seeing it’s been used. It’s been drained, vacuumed and wiped out but I’m currently running it full with no heater, no filtration in it, just the pump with water and some...

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well during year 3 in this pandemic... Since I have been cooked up in my house (here in Los Angeles), I wanted pull the trigger on getting in to this hobby. Growing up in my family, my father had a saltwater mixed reef tank ~100 gal tank and so I wanted to have my...

Today i am offically starting my Nuvo 20 Build thread. i have been waiting to start this tank for about a two years and the time has finally come. The goal of this tank is to be a mixed reef tank catering to multiple types of coral and about 3-4 fish. As you can see we are rocking a ton of...

Hello friends! Back into the hobby after 25 yrs and things sure have changed! I have looked for info about what my lighting should be, yet, haven't found anything that made me feel zen about it lol I have 28g AIO nanocube with a small mix of RBTA'S, 2 Kenya trees, 1 frogspawn, 1 hammer, few...

Hi there, thanks for taking a look at my build thread, your comments and suggestions are welcome. I studied biology and design (long story) and the last aquarium I built was a reef Berlin style system with a lot of DIY parts, including a HQI parking flood light, bare T5 balasts and the ensuite...

Hey everyone! I decided to get back into reefing after a 10yr hiatus after my brother started one up again. I found a 20G Tall on the internet and gathered all my old equipment to start it up. It was the best decision I've made in a long time! Born January 1st, 2021. My 20G Tall has a...

Hi Everyone, I am awaiting my Red Sea Max Nano to arrive in the mail. In the meantime I am starting to debate how to set this up. I currently have a 40g breeder running, but looking to tear that down to use for the Max Nano. First question is, if I use the live rock from that tank and place it...

August 30th, 2020 this was the day I brought home my im fusion 20 pro. Besides the tank I was hoping to go with a more modest budget friendly setup. I was able to setup my tank on a stand my brother and I made. I added black livesand and about 20lbs of love rock. I cycled my tank with a pair...

Hello everyone. I've been waiting to start this build for quite a while. For some background, this tank was originally my first successful reef tank. While it only ran for just over a year, it was quite a rewarding experience. Learning the ropes, doing the research, and of course, the payoff...

Hey everyone I’m Nick! this is my first post! Just wondering if anyone is able to identify the little things swimming near the top of the tank in the red circle when I shut my flow off to replace the filter floss. They seemed to be squirming and swimming pretty quickly! I feel like they could...
