Hey Guys,
My names Andrew and I'm from Western Australia and am brand new to these forums.
Thought I'd start a build thread for my new 60cm x 60cm x 52cm mixed reef tank. Mostly for myself so I can look back at the progress being made, but hopefully some people will enjoy following along too...

Hey everyone I was at the LFS the other day and some Talbots Damsels really caught my eye. I love their coloration! Are they like other damsels, extremely aggressive or are they a more peaceful one that can be kept in a community reef?

I currently have a 60g, 29g and 10 gallon mixed reefs set up and I’ve never dosed anything to the corals. Any opinions on if or what I should dose? I feed them reef rounds twice a week and dose alk and calcium. Thanks.
Hey All, Newcomer to R2R, but been using this forum as a resource on my current build. Wanted to share this and hopefully pick up some info from you more experienced folks along the way. This is my second mixed reef tank, had one at my office a few years back, but decided to take it down and...
So I wanted to start up a new tank. Was looking at a 200 gallon 48x36x27. Just wanted to get ideas for what equipment I should buy for a mixed reef tank. Thank you
Hey gang, I had the good fortune of buying a custom built 300 gallon glass aquarium and custom built stand from my dentist a few months back. I've been telling him for a few years that I want to buy the aquarium because he didn't ever have any water in it (the previous dentist in the practice...
I’ve been meaning to start a build thread for sooo long. So here it is! :) I’ll start with a little background and try to catch up to now. The image in my signature gives you an idea of where my current tank is at. Anyway, lots to cover! Hope you enjoy :)
Welcome everyone to my first build thread on R2R. Please be patient with me as I take a very long time for everything in this hobby including this build thread. However, I will try my best to provide in detail to help other reefers out there. I have read so many build threads that have tons of...
Time to start my build thread. Waterbox 230.6 was delivered a couple of weeks ago. Delayed a bit due to Hurricane Dorian. This will be setup in our new beach home we purchased.
This was the last 230.6 made. Thanks to Angela for pulling some strings and making the white stand happen...

Hello reefers, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5g mixed reef tank. It is my first saltwater reef tank. My tank is now 6 months old and has undergone a lot of upgrades and changes along the way. It’s a mixed reef so I have softies, lps, and sps. So Fluval is an AIO so it has 3 chambers in the back. The...
This is my Fusion 40 as of 09.02.2019. I'm focusing on mostly keeping LPS, SPS, including Acropora's, but don't mine a few softies.

This is my new Red Sea E Max 260 build. I've been out of the hobby since 2009 when I used to have a 12 gallon JBJ Nano cube deluxe. I had some success with that tank as mostly a FOWLR tank. I have been wanting to get back into the hobby for many years and now with my young daughter around I...

Well before we get into the 40 Breeder it has been a privilege to care for nearly 2 years now, I figure I should start with my original baby the 20 High, and the story of my decision process of selecting a new tank and the transition from one tank to another.
This was my 20 high reef tank...

Hello I was wondering what is your experience with keeping SPS in a mixed reef tank.
I currently have a 270 gallon mixed reef and I have some montis in the tanks that are doing well and I want to try some acros out, whats the best way to add them in to an establish reef tank, I have read that...
The tank is a 120 (tall) 60x18x26 LxDxT.
Unfortunately it has a blacked out center brace which complicates things.
My current setup (at least in terms of lighting) is 4 black box lights and 2 ATI Blue Plus bulbs.
My existing setup already grows Acropora, Miliporas, LPS, pretty much anything...
