Hi R2R!
I have been doing a lot of research the past few weeks and am looking for some input.
I have it down to a few different options.
Red Sea - AIO or one with the Sump
Innovative Marine - 50 AIO Lagoon
Also looking at the Reef Octo Tank systems and potentially Waterbox as well.
I have...
I have had my 32 gallon biocube running since October of 2020 and have gone through both periods of great success and tough failures. This is my first reef tank and understand that the hobby is mostly trial and error and that thing wont always go as planned. I have battles dinos a few times and...
Hello,
I am gonna go ahead and start my Build Thread. As of the start of this post this tank has been up for around 7 months. It is a Fluval Evo 13.5 AIO Tank. This is my first saltwater tank. So I am learning as I go.
I decided to set up the fish tank on my desk next to my computer (Picture...

So I have 2 small gladiator clowns(15g jbj) They been in for about a month and are still fighting. Both are eating and healthy besides the one going in and out of white coloring. I want to stock a goby and a 6 line. Would it be smart to wait or add them now.
hi i have a 15 gallon jbj just using jbj ato, return pump for flow and some live rock work and corals. I currently have 2 gladiator clowns, 1 cleaner shrimp, 3 astreas, 3 nassarious, 2 ceriths, and 1 tiger conch. I had a RG but it died and dont want to try my luck with another one. Im leaning...

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...
Hello
A few months have now passed since the start of my nano reef tank and it's very good.
I did without a skimmer and sump and wanted a clean and simple look. It works very well
The tank is supplied with Triton for other methods, which is dosed 4 times a day.
I do a 30L water change and...
How do I best go about getting shells for my snails, conch, and hermit
I currently have
1 blue legged hermit
3 nasarrious
3 Astreas
2 ceriths
1 tiger/strawberry conch
the conch is already pretty big with his shell as the hermit. I have a 15G jbj nano. Where can you buy a pack of shells or...
So I've had lymphocystis in my tank now ever since I introduced this urchin (I saw the white stuff near his mouth when I took him out of the bag) and now my clowns have it. Been like that for a while and besides the things showing up on the clowns every once in a while nothing had has happened...
I received my first saltwater tank (Fluval Evo 13.5) earlier this year (2022). It took me a few months to get the courage to start setting it up. After it was cycled, I started stocking it (not all at once). I currently have:
1x clown fish
3x blue legged hermit
2x nass. snail
1x purple torch
1x...
Hello I’m getting a Waterbox 15 mini peninsula tank and was messing around with a few aquascape ideas, this is what I have come up with so far, looking for suggestions and recommendations on how to improve. I was also wondering if adding only a small piece of live rock is enough to seed the tank...
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...
Slow day at work so I figured I would finally write up a build thread to document and show my progress. I started back in March this year when someone gifted me an Evo 13.5 boy what a rabbit hole I have fallen down since then. I have taken care of freshwater fish in the past, but marine is...
Hi! My 6g nano is almost a month old. About two weeks ago, I replaced the original water with cycled water from a coral tank from my LFS. Over the course of a week after adding cycled water, I added my animals- Mexican turbo snail, cleaner shrimp, red honey damsel, 3 Astrinia starfish; electric...
Long story short I have a 10 gallon zoa dominated nano with around 30 different varieties from low end to high end and about 6 varieties are suddenly acting unhappy, shriveling up, expelling guts, etc. The kicker is most of the high end varieties look great.. 25 percent of my zoanthid strains...
Found the clearest jar I could.
Placed in a piece of loose rock.
Disassembled a USB LED. Soldered some spare wiring to the LED board while it is fixed in position to the lid ~ This step was quite intricate and the new circuit should be wrapped in thread tape/electrical tape and protected from...
My rock work is an arch. I have detritus and waste build-up in the back left corning and in the center. There is an additional rock in the back left corner that may be preventing some flow. The back wall also gets some detritus as well.

Recently I picked up a new tank from @Tenecor Aquariums. It started as a means to replace/upgrade another AIO I have (AquaTop BFT-13). The hassle of keeping the 'sump' clean on that tank is a pain, and I'm limited on space/growth potential in that tank. This is where the Tenecor Peninsula| 17...
I am currently planning out a 20g long lps reef tank to replace my 10g. I want to take it a step up and get better equipment. First off, I don't know whether a pair of Kessil a80's or an AI prime hd would be a better fit. I haven't been able to find any other lights in that price range that...
So this is my first time posting as I can usually find all of the answers i’m looking for in threads but i have something very puzzling going on. My Mag levels are rapidly depleting without any major changes in other perameters.
I waited until i had 5 tests one week apart each with a 10% water...
