Hi everyone, I'm new to reef2reef! I'm also new to Saltwater fishkeeping in general. I do have a 36 gal freshwater planted tank, so I'm not so new to fishkeeping, just inexperienced in the saltwater side.
Background:
Went to my LFS this weekend and saw an amazing nano reef tank. It was part of...
Hi, as you can see in the photo, there are 2 orange anemones that have appeared in my tank, i noticed one about 4 months ago but it appears to have moved and now another one has appeared, my concerns is if its Aiptasia or another pest. Any ideas and what i can do to remove if needed.
Oddball AIO penn-plax tank I won, wouldn't have ever paid money for this thing. The tank was free, so extra funds to put into other equipment or livestock, I guess?I had a pico tank a few years ago that unfortunately crashed and I'd like to try saltwater again. Holds just under 11 gallons filled...

Hello!
Does anyone have recommendations for a fish that likes to hang out near or under rocks? A single fish w/ a pair of clowns in a 25g tank.
Thank you for the help
Hello!
My tank is fully cycled and I was about to begin dosing. I have a 25G tank w/o corals, but with live rock and coralline. I’m leaving for a 4 day vacation on Wednesday and will not be able to test or dose until Sunday. I have already dosed 5ml yesterday, and 2.5ml today.
I do not yet...

Hello everyone, I just set up my Red Sea MAX Nano G2 and I am planning on making it a lps and softies tank with some fish but I’m wondering what wave maker I should get or if I really need one.
And if you have any other advice or equipment recommendations to help me be prepared please let me...
Is there someone that can walk me through how to properly setup my automatic fleece roller, specifically how to determine the correct height to place the ATO float switch in the rear chamber of my AIO?
I have a 20 Gallon IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 2 AIO. Currently I have the Tunze Nano ATO float switch...
So I had a Fluval Flex sitting around that i had two options with.
One break down. Or two set up a 4th tank…..
Guess which one I went with?
I had this Flex running an about 2 months ago. I shut it down because I didn’t prepare enough for the summer heat wave and it killed a frag tank I set...
I already had the Innovative Marine Skimmer and it didn't work well. I am looking for other options. Any suggestions? I tried the Fluval Mini but it doesn't fit in the back chambers and leaks and the adjustments seem to do nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hello! This is my first post for my build. I have been on and off in the hobby since I was 10. I recently ordered a 12G Studio tank from Reef casa, after lots of research for my new tank I settled on Reef casa for a few reasons listed below in no particular order.
1. Size/Shape of tank was...
I recently purchased a 13.5 gallon reef tank that has been up and running for 18 months before me purchasing and moving it 5 weeks ago.
I keep all the rock, sand, and equipment, and about 50% of the water from before the move.
My PH is constantly low 7.2 - 7.5.
DHK has been rising and is now...
Is it just me or does everyone want a tang suitable for a nano tank? Can we get some bio-engineers on this or do I just need to suck it up and get a bigger tank?
Hey all, its been 6 months since I shut down my tanks and donated all of my corals and inhabitants along with selling my own home and uprooting my family to move to our paradise! With that being said I think it is fair time to start a new first build in our new home!
I have found my passion and...

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...
Hello everyone,
I would like to get my water change automated using a versa dosing pump.
My tank is currently just a 20g but I can always move it to my bigger system once I upgrade.
I was thinking maybe a 2% daily waterchange over a 2hr period.
Any tips or advice is welcome.
I have the eshopps nano skimmer with the stock pump (Sicce Micra) connected to a co2 scrubber, but the pump doesn’t pull in enough air to make the scrubber effective. Does anyone have suggestions on a stronger pump that will fit the ehsopps nano skimmer?
So I've been debating lately about adding an additional fish to my 13.5 Evo.
The tank has gone through ups and downs, killed two pairs of clownfish with deadly deadly dinos, and now has been happily home to a happy little yellow tail damsel for months. The tank is in great shape now, no...
