Hey everyone first time posting to the forum. I've read it and looked for advice for a long time. I have a 9 month old mixed reef tank. I've noticed over the past 3 or 4 weeks my filter socks have been clogging badly. Well tonight I heard them overflowing and found this thick brown slime all...

Hey Reefers! I've recently decided to pull the trigger on a Red Sea REEFER 200XL (I had to get this due to space restrictions), and I've also decided to document the entire journey. The ups, downs, good, and ugly. I first started the hobby with a JBJ 20 gallon, then upgraded to a 110, and...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to hop on here to say I’m excited to join the forum! I’ve been a freshwater hobbyist for a long time, but the past couple months I have been running a 24 gallon mixed reef tank. I have learned quite a bit from this forum and YouTube, but am excited to get more...

Hi all, After my 32g tank went through a 2000km house move (from Germany to Spain) in a car's trunk with 100F outside and 1 year of minimal maintanance I decided to give it some love and make a brand new setup, and of course, write a Build thread about it! Some background: I initially downsized...

Hey Everyone! Been out of the game for a little over a year after a move from Arkansas to Louisiana. I decided that even though there isn't much here in the way of a LFS (closest is around 3 hour drive), I couldn't see myself without a reef tank. I have previously owned a 180, 125, and 75 gallon...

Hi all, a bit of a story, we went to this wonderful small bay in Fiji last year. My first ever time snorkelling and also had the taste of my first ever dive on the rainbow reef. The mind blowing shoal of fish around beautiful coral colonies had me wanting to recreate a tiny of bit paradise in...

Hi everyone, my name is Leianne and recently became the proud new owner of an ESHOPPS Mariner 100! I’ll update soon with more details; just wanted to quickly introduce myself and say hey!

Hey all, I am just doing research into starting up a mixed reef in a aqua one minireef 160 and I was just wondering what would be an adequate lighting upgrade. I plan to start off with livestock first (stocking to be determined) so the included 40w led should be sufficient until I upgrade later...

I know this has probably been discussed but im currious to hear input on what alk levels are ideal in a mixed reef tank. Is 8 better than 10? If so at what level do you gain growth but lose coloration.

I haven’t kept fish for over 15 years, something in me decided I needed to change that. After getting two freshwater tanks going about 10 months ago, I decided I wanted to really challenge myself and get a reef tank going. I also am a hobbyist carpenter and so I wanted to build by stand instead...

Been looking for someone to help me move my established mixed reef (nuvo 40 AIO) from edgewater New Jersey to Teaneck New Jersey (about a 25 minute drive) trying to do it in the next week or so called a few companies including absolutely fish and John’s aquarium service but they are both busy...

Hello! I have been in the reefing hobby for about a year and half now, but have kept aquariums for almost 20 years now. The majority of those being freshwater. I purchased my tank in December 2022 after I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole on reef aquariums, the one that really captivated me was...

We have a mixed reef, 2 clowns, 1 blue tang, 1 sailfin tang, 1 foxface, 2 cardinals, 1 flame angel, 1 mandarin goby, 1 dottyback -- we also have a mix of corals. But, I am curious as to what fish diet you feed weekly. Currently, I give them a seaweed strip in the mornings, and then we feed 2...

Just wanted to see what others have found to be a successful way to manage nutrients in a tank size 50 gallons and under, particularly with no sump. I have a 38 gallon peninsula that I have been running just about 2 years, and for the last 6 months have been running without using a skimmer. It...

The new build is coming together! More to come.
