Just grabbed a Fluval evo 5 gal and been trying to navigate the whole pump/wavemaker mine field. All the recommended upgrade pumps are discontinued and I can't find a replacement for the life of me that would allow me to not need a wavemaker. Does anyone know of something in today's day and age...
Getting ready to set up my first saltwater aquarium. It’s a 150g but I truly love having smaller fish as I feel it gives the whole tank a better sense scale. My 60g freshwater currently houses fish that will never get over 1” long and I absolutely love it!
What fish would you suggest that...
I know that bigger equals more stable in reef tanks, but as I'm still very new to the hobby, a small start's a good start.
I'm wondering what would be the minimum tank size for a pistol shrimp and goby pair? Provided there's plenty of hardscape and substrate to dig around in. Research has given...
About two weeks ago I purchased a neon pink tip torch it’s my most expensive coral. For the first week it was doing so well opened up massive and was doing perfect. A week later I went to glue a new coral frag I bought and I grazed the torch with my hand it closed up and was bothered for a day...
Quick question I have for everyone, I am considering getting an IM 25 Lagoon. I want to get the NUVO Roller Mat, but since the 25 Lagoon has a dual intake on both sides would it be worth it to get a roller fleece only for one of the intakes? Also, what would be the best ATO for the IM 25 (Cheap...
Perfectly good leather to snuggle against but, nope, my fish rather go sideways into a cave! Stranger yet my cleaner shrimp lives here so I believe he goes in here to get his wash on!
Hello! I just upgraded from a 10 Gallon to a 18 Gallon Red Sea Nano desktop and would like to set up a controller and dosing system for the new tank. The Nano is an All in one so it has a built in filter sock, skimmer, charcoal but thats it. Any recommendations on how to augment the existing...
Hey all, looking for some recommendations.
I have a 5 gallon softie only nano reef (mushroom, zoas, kenya tree, gsp) and I’m getting ready to ramp things up with my coral game. I recently upgraded my light and pump so I feel that my tank is ready for some LPS. I recently got this little guy and...

I just bought an Avast Kalk stirrer, im wondering though if ill have any issues running it up to the AIO section of my tank from beneath in the cabinet. I plan on having my Versa slowly fill the kalk constantly so it doses a very small amount all day. on the outlet ill have a check valve, and...
After taking a long hiatus from the hobby I decided my field office could use some life with a nano tank. I was gifted the Bulk Reef Supply bundle for the Eshopps Deskmate. I initially decided it would be a budget build, but.... is there such thing as a budget build in reef keeping, haha. I went...
Waterbox Cube 20 Bubble-Tip Anemone Tank
What started as a tank for a Haddoni carpet anemone quickly turned into a bubble-tip anemone tank. A week ago, I placed an order for a carpet anemone online. My first instinct was to add it to my Waterbox 220.6 main system. After chatting briefly and...
Hi fellow reefers....
I thought I'd share my Fluval Edge Marine conversion. New to reefing, and this is my first tank 3 months in. What a minefield it's been and the sheer amount of research and cost to it all. What's your thoughts on my set up? Started using chemi pure blue nano filter media...
Tank is a Fluval Spec III 2.6g (10.8" L -- 11.8" W -- 8.7" H)
I took these readings with an Apogee MQ-510 that I borrowed from the local fishie store.
This light seems to be a bit controversial. Some love it - others hate it.
My opinion? It's an amazing light that gets a bad rep from people who...
Looking for a light and arm for my 10 gallon reef tank. Would prefer one that I can control from my phone or a remote or even set a schedule.
Shipping to or pickup NYC
I have a Waterbox 10g Cube that has been going great for about 2.5 years. I had the AI Prime that it came with and then it stopped working so I went ahead and replaced it with a Kessil A160. I really like the A160 shimmer and I like the “halide” look of the light. Corals seem to like it quite a...
I am starting my build very soon the tank and stand comes Tuesday. The bulk of the equipment gets delivered tomorrow. I will post a bunch of pictures. The tank is going in my home office and will house mostly Zoas and Ricordia. As well as a clown. I am not sure if I can do a pair...
