I'm looking to upgrade my lighting. I have a RS Reefer Nano, SPS dominant. Currently running a kessil 160 at 100% all day and reefbrites. Was thinking radion15 or Mitras. Or should I just get the kessil 360?
Added a large rock on top as I could not remove my new anemones. Came together nicer than I thought it would and created the cave I’ve been looking for. Missing some on the left side to look more natural but let me know what y’all think and how I could make it better!!
Hey, I'm living in Butte Montana. It's been, and is going to be a challenge keeping a tank here due to the limited shops and services within a couple hundred miles.
Took me a good while to get any aquarium up and running. But I finally got ahold of a 14 gallon Fluval at a really cool shop in...
Originally posted on nano-reef forums, but I wanted to introduce myself on here as well.
Hello, everyone!
New member here, and as a New Year's Resolution, I have decided to get back into reef tanks after being out of the hobby for over 7 years. I'm excited to show everyone my tank build and was...
Hey all,
I’ve got a question regarding flow for my tank, a Waterbox 20. I have my nero mounted on the left side about two thirds up, but I’ve noticed it kinda gets a dead spot underneath itself with minimal flow, which cyano tends to love:/
My options look at mounting another powerhead in the...
Hi,
I started cycling my tank a few weeks ago now, and it's still going through the cycle. I've been ghost-feeding, and adding startup bacteria, along with almost daily monitoring of Ammonia, Nitrites, pH, and KH. I plan to have a mix of Softies, and LPS in my reef tank, along with some...

Aqueon QuietFlow10 Internal Shrimp Filter
10lb Bag of Fiji Pink CarbSea Live Sand
9lbs of Live Rock from my LFS

A couple months back, I was taking a stroll through the local dollar general. Well, one of 5, because when there’s one dollar general, there’s another. While looking in the sale section, I noticed a jar, a unique one at that. It was tilted sideways and looked a little..odd? Different? Strange...
Hey everyone, have 1 last kessil a360 tuna blue left. They’ve only been used a year and I’m asking $350. Can pickup locally in Orlando or I can ship at buyers expense!

Here's my 16 gallon (40 liter) office tank! One day I said "I think I'm gonna get a tank for my office and everyone thought I was kidding.... well I wasn't. This is my first reef tank so it's been a little trial and error but I'm proud of her. Not really a great photographer and I feel like...
I’m selling an Aquamaxx Bullet-1 hang-on skimmer. It is cleaned up, in like-new condition, and comes in the original box with all original packing, etc. I am the original owner and used this skimmer for several months before upgrading to a larger tank. I’m asking for $100 with shipping...
Wow. First of all, hello to every single member on here. I have been browsing these forums since ... 2013 When I was 15. In a sense, you all taught me to be a better reefer and I've gone through the last 10 years of my life growing and learning with all of you. I feel honored to be posting here...
So my tank is in the same room as my record player which I use quite frequently. Most of the records I play are louder punk records and was wondering if this could have a negative impact on the fish? I know fish are sensitive to sound in some capacity but is it something I should be worried...
Hello, i'm setting up a 20 gallon reef, and have a 4 part doser on the way. what are the best 4 additives to add in your opinion? I have reef fusion one and two (Seachem has yet to disappoint). Are there dosable coral foods? Any additives that you swear by?
Hello all,
I've just set up my Waterbox 25 a few days ago and have been rolling along with a fishless cycle using Dr. Tim's arsenal of bacteria and ammonia. I've kept aquariums before but this is my first nano reef tank. Because I'm in the last couple years of grad school and anticipate at...

Hi! I was heavily into reefing for a good bit of time! Unfortunately, I had to love, and lost some equipment that I couldn’t afford to replace. Everything in my tank ended up dying over the course of a few months to the point that I gave the rest away. I...
I think I’ve decided to label this project my “small but mighty” reef tank. Thank you so much for the support thus far everyone. I can’t wait to share with you all this build as we go along. This post will be updated with page tags when possible. Happy reefing everyone -AHD

Hello. I am having trouble with the skimmer on the redsea max nano peninsula. Anyone else have trouble? It seems I cannot get the airflow ratio right at all. I make the slightest adjustment and my skimmer cup is filling within 20 minutes. I adjust it down slightly and it won't foam at all...
