nano reef

Hi all I bought this anemone (around 5 cm) 4 weeks ago and this week I started to notice white rings around the tips (compare image). The anemone itself has never moved (and I assume it likes the space) and one of my two clownfish attached to it after only 1.5 weeks. The light is 30 cm above...

I wish I found this when I first started but here is my tank. All advise is welcome. Yes, I am looking at bigger tanks.

Hey can someone help me out please. My tank as been setup since 3/10/24. I've been noticing this white film on my rocks, should I be concerned? It's hard to get a clear picture because it's almost translucent. Stated with dry rock Live sand MicroBactor start I run UV for about 8hr a day 1.025...

I have an open glass 6g cube that I am thinking about converting into a nano reef with one tiny evil maroon clownfish that needs a home where he can’t kill any other fish that comes his way. I would like to keep this tank simple, low tech and affordable and use as much of what I already have...

Hello Reef2Reef! I have been in the hobby for about 10 years, enjoying mostly nano mixed reef and low-tech planted tanks. After being without a reef tank for about 1 year following a cross-country move, we decided to take the plunge and start a small mixed reef, trying for a more SPS-dominated...

How To Have Your DREAM nano AQUARIUM!!!

I have a 13.5 that's been running for a year, now I'm starting up a 5-gal pico reef. No solid plans on stocking it yet, would love any input. Not planning on adding a fish, just as much diversity in coral/ inverts as I can. Planning to add a sand bed, and use water, live rock, and filter media...

I’m getting ready to slowly start my setup of my Fluval Evo 13.5. After running a 150 gallon, 55 gallon before taking a break from the hobby, I currently have a Fluval Flex 32.5 running. I’ve been wanting to set up a “nano tank” for a while, and now that my son is a little older I thought it...

Hello all! Currently waiting on my Waterbox 35.2 to ship, so I am in the process of getting the remaining equipment lined up. I won't lie, I am a bit nervous about the size of the tank, as most of my previous tanks have been quite a bit larger, but I didn't feel super comfortable with having...

Hey everyone, I saw a happy looking YWG and pistol shrimp pair at my LFS, and I was wondering if my geometric pygmy hawkfish would attack the goby, as I hear that this can happen. Tank is a 15g cube. The goby will live wherever the pistol burrows and the hawk has a cave in the live rock it...

Hello everyone, I initially started up my 15g nano reef tank in December 2022 so I could get saltwater inverts, as I was interested in them. However, I have had crustaceans dying one by one, with about 2+ weeks to one month intervals between deaths. I have tried everything to figure out what’s...

Hi all! I have seen baby aiptasia pop up in my tank very infrequently, I usually spot about 1-2 a week (if any at all) and I’m a person with really good eyesight. These baby aiptasia have always been on a rock or frag that I was able to pull out and treat out of water, however in this case, I...

Always looking to keep my interest peaking in this hobby. I like creating so I’m looking at this hobby ways to do things different while sticking to the basics. this a DIY 2.5g which is a mimic of my other nano tanks, which are much larger. going shopping for some new coral tomorrow looking to...

Welcome to my build thread! I've been a longtime lurker on the reef forums and am on my third reef tank, but this is my first build thread on Reef2Reef! I mostly see this as an opportunity to keep track of my own thoughts and observations and hopefully use to look back on my updates on this...

Just got started again about 10 months ago and am definitely enjoying watching the changes everyday. Still a little old school with some things that I’m trying to decide to change to the new equipment and making headway but looking for a few components still to fully convert to a few new...

I’m looking for some recommendations as to how to rid my tank of these pests. After being told to let them run their course I’ve had no luck in them disappearing. They now cause my zooanthids to constantly shut. Have read that it’s due to their stinging nature. Looking for an invertebrate or a...

Full Tank Shot as of 7/19/2024: Come one come all, welcome to my build thread. First, a bit about myself. When I was 14 I stumbled into an archaic corner of YouTube where people were keeping reef ecosystems in little glass boxes. I was hooked and immediately wanted to join in the fun. My...

After not having had a tank of my own in over a year, when I saw a little glass AIO sitting on a table in a thrift shop I decided I would give a small tank another shot. After a quick leaktest and a clean up, I started work on my aquascape. Using some live rock from a friend's tank I put...

Hello everyone! Sorry my english is bad. This post is about my Nano reef tank, without sump and without skimmer. My old 6,6gall nano tank was so densely planted with coral that I decided to move to a larger tank. Dimensions of the new aquarium 60см*30см*35см. OPTIWHITE glass 8 mm thick...

Welcome to my build thread for my new Reef Casa Studio 12 tank. I started out in the reefing hobby with a nano tank, worked my way up to larger tanks and now want to apply everything I have learned to create a dream nano tank and the Reef Casa Studio 12 is the perfect canvas. After much...
