nano 15

I have purchased this tank, and aim to build my first aquarium. The goal is to have a primarily Euphyllia dominated LPS tank, with one or two islands of pulsing Xenia (to avoid spreading). with a small(?) amount of fish. I live in upstate NY with temps ranging in home from 65-74℉ (18-23°C). if...

Hey guys new tank set up here, i got a Waterbox 15 peninsula. So far the water has been cycling for 3 days straight, i have had a couple days already where i had to add some water because the pump was running dry. I am assuming that it is evaporating? either way the water is staying clear and...

Have a 15 gallon Waterbox cycling and was thinking about what would be interesting to add. Currently have around 8 pounds of dry rock and 2 pounds of live rock, as well as 10 pounds of live sand. I will eventually be adding corals. Anyone have any suggestions for both corals and or fish. This...

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...

Hello fellow humans i have just setup my very first saltwater tank, and i am worried i may have put in too much rock. I like the way my hardscape looks but i would like to keep a pair of clownfish and some corals later down the line. So i am wondering if my tank has enough open space as it is...

Hi Guys, My name is Berg and I have a serious problem. Back in November I started my first reef tank, a Fluval Flex 15, and rushed it. I have been keeping freshwater tanks for as long as I can remember and have kept some incredibly difficult and complicated fish and invertebrates so I thought...

I have an older 14 gallon CoraLife BioCube that I started back up about a year and a half ago. Tank is going good with a bunch of softies and a pair of clowns. I bought a 165GPH replacement pump when I started it up. In the mean time I have added a 500GPH circulation pump. I still get the...

So guys it took me a while to get started and get to know R2R a little but here we are! November 15th I started my first ever reef tank. It’s a 15gal AIO and I added an extra pump for flow and also a very quiet return pump and skimmer since it’s in the living room. I set it up with coral sand...

Hey there! Im stuck on debating lighting for my new Waterbox 15G peninsula. Im looking to grow a lot of softies with a couple of lps, possibly a nem, and maybe some acro/monti’s. I’ve been looking around and I’m down to either an AI prime or a xr15 blue. Is the xr total overkill or is it worth...

Hi guys, kinda new here still. I had a tank before but it wasn't great and I sold it a while ago, well anyways I got a new tank yesterday with a ai prime and 2 corals. I attached pics of the tank rn : Any stocking ideas would be very helpful as I still consider myself inexperienced and don't...

hello i am new here this is my 15 gallon tank

I received the Fluval Flex 15 as a gift, everything in setup went good, cycled perfectly except realized it was a freshwater kit. I did research and realized the lighting is inadequate and not meant to grow corals, which could explain why every coral and maybe now a anemone has died on me. :(...

I seem to be growing some kind of green velvet alge wherever light intensity is at the highest. Looks like it’s turning into coralline?Should I leave it be or try to fix it? Any input good or bad is welcome and highly valued. Tests taken before water change. No2-0.05, ammonia-0, ph-8.2, no3-2...

Hello reefers, I started collecting equipment for this build about two months ago. I had a vision in my mind of what I wanted it to look like and I've been slowly piecing it together. There is nothing flashy about it, but it's coming together bit by bit. I would love some feedback on some...

I started a nano tank in August, 2020. I took pictures, but never started a thread; so I figured I’d do that now! My main goal for this aquarium is to have a relaxing place I enjoy sitting and watching the marine life. I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and was always around the ocean. I...

Hi Friends, My name is Dylan and I had been in the marine aquarium hobby for about 15 years before selling my tank in 2016. My previous setup was 65 gal, mostly fish only, with a few inverts and soft corals. (Anemone, mushrooms, zoa's, etc.) I recently bought a used 15 Gal column (Aqueon) to...

Well I guess welcome to my build thread. I have been wanting to do a saltwater tank for a minute now. However, due to stability in living situation and work, I havent had a chance until now. With all of my classes for my undergrad online, I decided to dive headfirst into a reef tank build. I had...

I just upgraded my nano 5 gallon tank to a 15 gallon tank. I am still new to the whole saltwater set up but I'm pushing through. Most of my corals have not grown off their disks and it shows, but with time they will! Come join me on my saltwater journey and watch my corals grow!

Hey guys this is going to be a journal of my Fluval Evo 13.5 Heads up I've never had a journal before so I might be all over the place and this is my first salt water tank. I've had this tank running for over a year now it hasn't been doing much until recently so let's get started. 13.5 Gallon...

So I bought a GMD from my lfs 2 days ago. I have a well established 15g reef tank, I’ve been doing thorough research for about 2 years on how to keep them and actually owning one is stressing me out lol. Even though I populated my tank with a bottle of tiger copepods 2 days ago, I cannot tell if...
