Hey Guys!
I have been designing a budget nano build for a while and wanted to share my journey. I am coming from the planted tank and vivarium world but have been interested in saltwater for a while.
My goal would be zoa/duncan predominant tank with a hammer/torch focal point inspired by...

Hi everyone,
As title says I have a viparspectra 165W box on top of my 32 gal long (15" deep) tank with mostly LPS, softies and 1 monti.
The light is 10" above water level but I have an acrylic lid "softening" a bit the light. I don't get much spray salt or drops so its mostly clear.
Most of the...

Was curious if this AuqaShield 9 Watt UV Sterilizer fits inside a WB 10 cube where the sock would be - if not what is being used instead and where was it placed?
thanks!
So I have a 32 gallon biocube and as of now only have a single clown fish, royal gramma and about a dozen snails, I plan on adding corals very soon. I have struggled with dinos in the past and just tested my water and got a .02 reading for phosphates and 0.0 reading for nitrates. Knowing that...
I have a 13.5 Fluval that has been running for 2 years, this week. I have an ocellaris, six line wrasse, and a cardinal. The cardinal was added about a year ago and never had any problems with aggression and my fish all hang around eachother (no sticking to certain parts of the tank). I have...
Christmas came early this year! Took advantage on a sweet Black Friday Deal and got myself a Waterbox 20 Cube w/ Stand. Luckily, I had a lot of equipment from my Evo 13.5 that I reused on this tank (in all honesty it was overkill for the 13.5, but it’s perfect for the 20).
AI Prime 16 HD/AI...
Hi guys!
I have had a fluval Evo for nearly a year. My plan was Xenia hell, because who doesn't love a tank with Xenia on every surface and a couple clowns to play in it?
Apparently this tank had other ideas.
If it is soft, it dies. Soft corals, mushroom coral, xenia, zoas, seahares...
I have a Red Sea max nano that’s a very mixed reef. Right now I have the stock pump and one Nero 3 powehead on 20-60% facing different directions. Should I get a second Nero 3? I don’t like the look of so much of the glass being blocked and the cost is a factor. Also worried about too much flow...
Hi everyone,
I have a 20-gallon tall tank. Inside I have two ocellaris clownfish and one bicolor blenny. Even though I had my clowns for two years before adding the blenny, I don't see any aggression inside the tank. They even let the blenny go inside of their pot, which I think it's pretty...
I’m setting up a 10 gallon waterbox cube next to my 110 main display reef which is very stable what is everyone thoughts if I have an automatic water change going daily from my main display
Looking to do something different in the cube

Hi everyone! First time reefer, forum-er, acrylic tank builder (65L, 17 US Gallons). The purpose of this thread is to give 'live' updates of what I'm doing/buying (with their reasons) so that:
1) I can keep track of my tank for posterity (if I can get anything to live in it!!)
2) Other brand...

I’m in the process of parting together my 250 gallon beast, got impatient, and saw Waterbox having a 10 gallon cube sale and came up with this. Attached a AI Prime 16 HD Reef on it for good measure.
Now debating if I want to make it a nano reef or a nano anemone tank!
Hey all,
I bought a used Red Sea Max Nano 20g and will be using this thread as a personal journal of sorts and hopefully getting some feedback on my set up.
Currently, it is sitting in the bathroom running a vinegar/water 1.5:18.5 mix through it. Using this to check for leaks, to clean the...

Should I re do my aquascape? I am always looking for ways to make my tank better and wonder if anyone has any advice for ways I can improve my aquascape. Should I let it be or change something up?
Hello everyone,
I bought my first saltwater aquarium 1 month ago.
It is 30 gallons and is 12 inches deep.
It is fitted with 2 Fluval nano marine 3.0 (20Watt).
I am at the end of the cycle period and want to start with the first corals (Softies).
Does anyone know the best light settings in...
