Mag Tool DC Protein skimmer (DC-SQ50) For sale. It was used for about 4 months in one of the rear compartments on a 14g AIO. It runs silent and does a great job for a small skimmer. The acrylic is still in perfect condition. No cracks or crazing. I will also include a brand new extra needle...

I have a small ~8 gal water volume sps tank that i recently installed a controller on. I’ve been monitoring pH and noticed significant swings between day and night. I know swings are expect but the range is pretty significant - approximately 1 ph or more over the course of a day. I think it...

I set up this tank as a bit of a gesture to myself for doing well on the LSAT a few years ago. Since then, it’s survived 3 moves, many crashes, and a switch out of law school and back to my old career. To say the least, it’s kept my mind straight through some rough times. It’s just a bit over...

Its been a while since I've had a saltwater aquarium, but I'm finally ready to jump back in. My previous tank was successful for the most part but I now know that I should do a few things differently. Mainly, not placing it by a window!!! As well as taking things slower and not messing with the...

1) Fiji Cube 20 Peninsula Pro 2) Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 2 20 gal 3) Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 2 Lagoon - 25 gal Peninsula was the preference, but I like the build and look of the IM and the extra width of the IM lagoon.

Hi everyone. I’ve been in the reefing hobby since July of this year. It all started this summer when my adhd brain said “let’s get a fish.” Growing up I had a betta fish here and there but if my memory serves me right I was not the caretaker of the tanks but rather my wonderful parents because...

Hello! I'm purchasing a Waterbox Peninsula 25 and I'm a little conflicted on what light to use. I have a poll up with some options. Tank Size: 24"x15"x15" (With the AIO I think the display is really 21"x15"x15") Coral: Mixed reef but mostly LPS and softies. I'll experiment with SPS but it will...

Hello Everyone! I'm excited to share this build with you:beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: Since starting up my 15 gallon system I began researching my next tank and quickly realized that what I wanted did not exist so here I am! Given that I'm new and know full well I'll be upgrading and trying...

Hello everybody! I have a 2 gallon jar that I am turning into a reef tank over time, and I just started the nitrogen cycle. I put about 2-3 ppm worth of Dr Tim's ammonia chloride in, and then a bottle of nitrifying bacteria. I did that about two days ago and I have yet to see any nitrite or...

I threw around this idea way back before I setup my reef. I have a 16-gallon reef 11 months old loaded with coral. I set up some copepod breeding jars to dose the aquarium. I feed the copepods live phyto there are a lot of tutorials online on setting up copepod cultures. I really want a Green...

It’s looking like a good start

This is my second saltwater tank and first build on reef2reef (also posting on another forum). I’ve been doing freshwater for 30 years or so (as long as I can remember), and started a 20 gallon nano about a year and a half ago. I used a Waterbox Clear Mini 6 to build a custom AIO using 1/8"...

An update on the small PNW Custom nano tank I set up about a month ago. This time I put a $1 bill next to it for size reference as some people thought I made a typo when I said it was just 40oz! Started off with very frequent water changes, now plan on doing just one 50% change every week. It...

Hello, I have a nano tank with pair of clowns but recentyl I had an outbreak of amphipods, which are getting bigger in population and size. I know they are nothing to worry about but there is a lot of them crawling and it is not a nice scene and I'm afraid they are messing with my corals...

Hi all, I have a 20 gallon long tank with 2 clowns, firefish, gramma, and yellow goby. I have very strong filtration, tank parameters are great, everyone is peaceful. I just have no blue color in their. I know I am already pushing it with the amount of fish I have, but just feel like I can...

Hi everyone! Here’s to my first reef tank and build thread. I’m using an Innovarive Marine Nuvo Fusion 15 Cube. I recently graduated from USC (Fight On!) and started working, so I finally have the money to afford this hobby after waiting for many years. At this point the tank has been running...

Let’s get a real time look at what a small pico tank looks like if you neglect it and don’t do your regular water changes. I’m going to test it today with my Hanna and than do a 50% water change, wait an hour and check again. I’ve been pretty busy at work and haven’t done a great job taking...

Hi i am worried for my frogspawn. I have four of them and almost daily they are releasing this brown string. After some doing some research I was told it’s either releasing waste or expelling zooxanthellae. I’m sure it’s normal to happen ever so often but it happens very often. I had a bad...

Hi R2R! This will be a thread for my new 25-gallon IM lagoon, from beggining to end, but first a little backstory. For some time, I was gearing up to move from my first 32g reef to a larger 140g system. I started by gearing up during the pandemic, just getting everything I needed upfront and...
