Hello, I set up a 15g nano tank last week to hold two fish sent by my son (firefish and a neon goby). I used two pieces of live rock that I purchased plus a sponge from my established 45g. 50% water from established tank and 50% new water The LFS said I could put the two fish in right away...
Hey guys I had some questions regards to growing micro algae frags in my display tank!
For starters I have 36 gal tank
With 1 clownfish and 1 lawnmower blenny with regular snails and hermit crabs.
I recently added 3 different micro algae’s to the tank about a week ago. And it seems that I...
I have seen a thread about this before but it didn't really went in depth in it. I am looking to have a 20-30 gal sump into my 60 gallon main tank and 5 gallon nano tank. My 5 gallon tank is a mixed reef with some sps, lps, and some softies and my 60 gallon tank is just a single lionfish just...
Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to view this.
Firstly I have done some searching on this forum at PICO tanks and will continue to do research before committing.
However... As this is my first SW tank I am open to all ideas and thoughts.
I have OCD so the aesthetics need to be minimal, for...
Hey all,

Hello everyone and happy new year to all.

I've been in the reef hobby for exactly one year and so far is going okay, not as good as I would like to but I'm enjoying my mistakes and...

Hello everyone. Will be doing some more updates here on this thread over the next 8 months. This is my first tank and I have done some decent research ahead of time. Mistakes have been made already and I will go into that as time progresses. For now I’m looking for some input on my live rock...
Hi Everyone,
So I thought I would start a build thread. I used to have freshwater tanks as a kid, then life happened. I always wanted to get a saltwater tank and I have been doing quite a bit of research for the past year or so. On Father's Day my 3 kids surprised me with a Waterbox 20. My...
I just finished cycling my tank. Now I’m preparing for corals. I just wanted to show off what I’ve done so far.

Hi! I'm new to reefing (but I've been interested in it forever) and am just starting up my first nano tank. I'm really excited and ill be putting everything together in the next few days. I was wondering if anyone here could give me some advice on my tank and let me know of anything that i'm...
So I have a nano tank that has been up for about a year now, and I'm starting to add some corals to it. My tank inhabitants are as follows: 2 nano clowns, an orchid dottyback, a lawnmower blenny, some snails and a peppermint shrimp. Coral wise, i have a small colony of GSP, two Zoa's, a...
It's official... it's time for a new build thread!!
After a happy two years with my Fluval Evo 13.5g, the pandemic happened... and I decided to move back home while I would be/am working remotely indefinitely. I decided to take advantage of the move and UPGRADE to a Coralife BioCube 32g!!! I...
I traded some frags to my LFS and used the credit to get a new fish. (Currently I have a 6-Line wrasse, coral beauty angel and a black clown in 30g tank).
I picked up a platinum clown. I asked the guy how he think she'd do with my black clown I have had for a year and he said as long as the...
Hi, I want to see all of your guys’ nano reef tanks!! Please post pics if you have a tiny reef :) This is my Fluval spec iii turned marine aquarium. The only thing I changed was the light to a Kessil A80. Cheers!
Hello Everyone,
So I am about 2 months into the hobby and it feels like its been an eternity since I started but I have learned so much and have tried things that some people have told me not to try and have been successful so I am going to share my recent photos of my build and hopefully you...
I have a 20gallon tank that has a footprint of 15” x 20” and is 16” tall. Planning on it being a mixed tank. I’ve been looking at the a80, a160, and a360. I feel like the a80 would be too weak and the a360 would be overkill. Do y’all think the a160 is the right choice for this tank?
My build so far. Hope to have everything in the next couple weeks
and start my cycle soon after that.
Still not sure on my ATO, leaning towards Duetto because of it's small size?
If you have any recommendations that are must have's for a new reefer?
Was also playing around with my scape...
I started up my 12 gallon all in one cube reef tank, have a pair of clowns and am adding coral over time. Right now currently have just live rock in one chamber and regular sponge in the first. Just trying to figure out if protein skimmer is necessary, carbon or anything else. I’ve done...
So I got my salt on Tuesday for my 10g nano aquarium and i added half the salt into the tank then stirred then the other half and stirred and most of it is dissolved except for these last few bits and its driving me crazy. I got Instant Ocean sea salt.
QUESTIONS
Will the undissolved salt...
Hey guys i have been doing saltwater tanks for about 10 years, I have a desktop tank that is 4 gallons with a clown fish and a blue damsel, zoas, and a rock flower anenome that has been running for over 3 years now. It has developed a small leak in the bottom seal of the tank so i bought a IM...
So this is actually my second tank.
I need to make a build thread for my main DT, which is a JBJ45, but my pictures are so scattered between time periods I wouldn't even know where to start on it.
Anyway, I picked up this Innovative Marine Micro 30, Aqueon 100w heater, Aqueon Freshwater LED...
