8/2023, Background:
So it began, around 1993/1994 with a passed down 55 gallon fresh water aquarium, while serving in the army. That lasted a few years and I later built out a small Koi pond post ETS after moving to South Florida.
Unfortunately, the pond idea was a little too established to...
Hello all this is my first post here was searching for top salts and everything seems to go towards SPS for the better salts.
Fluval evo 13.5 is the tank and I’ve been using fritz rpm reef mix in the smaller black bag. Recommended to me by my LFS but I feel like It just might be a generic salt...
I recently jumped back into the reef world and have started a 7 gallon nano reef tank. I bought Carib Sea Aragalive Pink Fiji sand, and 10 lbs of cured rock from my LFS. My parameters have been very steady, and I’ve only seen a slight rise in ammonia (no more than .5 ppm) and have seen somewhere...
So I have been running a 32 gallon biocube for about a year which has been fairly successful. I had a long and difficult battle with dinos for a few months which I eventually won. I knew that the reason I had the dinos was bottoming out of my nitrates and phosphates which had both reached 0.00...
#HELP
Would love a little help/advice on my WB MP25.
Problem: My 3rd (return) chamber's water level goes low and it activates my gravity ATO.
Situation: I noticed the water level in my display is high and the salinity is low. Yesterday I performed a water change, cleaned the return pump and...

So today I added a Blood Red Hawkfish to my current Nano system. He’s really small and a good size for my tank. However.... I’m worried about aggression.... I currently also have an Orchid Dottyback in my tank and i’m wondering if I just brewed the perfect situation for disaster... It’s still...
Hello all, I'm getting super super bored being in quarantine and wanted to ask some questions/ show off my first reef tank since nobody in my household seems to care haha. I went with a fluval evo 13.5 because of the modern style and perfect size. I upgraded the lights to an AI Prime 16hd...
Hi I’m new to aquariums - things going well so far about 3 months in. The corals I’ve added look alright & my fish are happy. One of the rocks in my tank is covered in green algae (SEE PHOTO)... I don’t mind the look but I’m wondering if this is something I should be fighting against or to just...
I setup a small tank last night and I used half the water and a piece of live rock from my tank that is already cycled. My question is will this tank need to go through a cycle as well before adding anything? I would assume it's ready to go but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for any information you...
Hey all. I’m currently planning my first mainly SPS tank & looking for some feedback on my current plans. I will post regular updates & pictures once the build is started. The tank I will be going with is an Innovative Marine Nuvo Fusion Pro 30L AIO 30 gallon.
After doing alot of research over...

Hello everyone! Old man reefer here saying hello to all of you young hip kids with your reef tanks! Here's mine! 12 years young and pretty much self sustainable. With a little help from me ;) dose with Kent nano reef part A/B, spot feed with coral smoothie, pair of mocha clowns, goby, peppermint...
While top down views are great for photographs, they just don't give the same effect as a normal full frontal tank view. This is why, we've decided its time to setup a little display to give our eyes a break from the computer screens as we maintain our website. We currently have three different...
I call this my teacher tank because it is my first tank adventuring into the marine world! I love my little tank. It's been going since Jan '17. We've had our losses and wins...but I think we have figured each other out! I will be posting updates on my little teacher tank periodically!
I am selling my JBJ SK 45 protein skimmer, I ended up going with an ice cap for my build that was bigger! I purchased the skimmer new for $125 total! I'm only asking for 80!
Just putting this out there. Some friends and I have started to make some videos here in Austin and really want to focus on aquatics.
Check it out, subscribe and like. I will say some of the editing isn't great, this is the first time our our guy did it because our normal guy is out. The...

I COUD NOT FIND ANY INFORMATION ONLINE.
THANK YOU.
I have been using the jbj sk-45 skimmer on my 25g cube build for about 5 months. The pump has already burned up on me and I am floored with anger! :mad: I forgot to warranty the product... lesson learned. But to my findings I cannot even buy the replacement pump on a skimmer I paid 120+ for are...
I am sad to let this build go I had this tank up and running for about 4 months and my health took a turn. I absolutely loved this tank while I had it and it cost me a pretty penny, this is 100% custom by me! I have a 125 gallon reef tank that I have dedicated all my time to. This tank INCLUDES...
