Hey all! Sarah here, also known as Sarah's Fish Tanks on social media platforms (listed at bottom of thread). I figured I would use this thread to document my current Waterbox 20 setup. General: Tank: Waterbox 20 AIO - running since Feb 2024 Lights: Illumagic Pixel Reefer and Pixel Fragger...

Howdy! Long story short, tank has been up & running for exactly 8 months today. Just wanted to get a thread going over here on R2R and start to engage with this community a little more! There's been ups/downs of course. I've been tying to get some consistency with some easier SPS in this...

So i just did my weekly water change in my 32 gallon biocube and I am looking at my corals and i notice tiny little mite like bugs crawling on my live rock. I wish i could provide a picture or better description but they are so tiny they’re barely visible to the naked eye but i can definitely...

So I recently added a single zebra dartfish to my 32 gallon biocube. This brings my fish load to just that and a pair of clowns so far. I know with a 32 gallon tank I am very limited to how many as well as what kind of fish I can add. It is for this reason why I only got one because I still have...

Hi all, I plan on keeping a mixed reef with a clownfish and ywg/pistol shrimp pair. I am just wondering if the items I have currently purchased are overkill for sustaining a functional nano reef build, and of course some additional questions. I have: Sicce 1.0 return pump (I was wondering if...

Hey Everyone! New to the page, looking to bring over my tank build to this forum as well :)! Here are some highlights of my livestock: - Wild blue/green Mandarin Dragonet Pair - Orange Molly - Biota Neon Goby

after some research seems my return pump isnt just enough for coral flow. So trying to add circulation and this was one of the lowest gph i can find. Powerhead at 110 and it blows my tank around. Its still big and alot of power for 15g. Cant seem to find anything smaller. What are you guys...

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...

Hello all, I own a 5 gallon nano reef that measures 16 wide inches by 8 inches wide. I have been having some Cyano Bacteria Issues at the front of the tank where the light is most prominent. I am looking for the smallest wave maker pump that will fit comfortably within my tank. I have been...

Hi reef2reef, This build thread dedicated to my future self (Yeah look back at all the mistakes you made ya fool :D), my supportive wife, family, friends, and everyone in r2r who following along. This is my first attempt at reefing, recording all the ups and downs till God knows when...

Hi all! I want to share my first reef aquarium which I've started on 28-th of December 2020. It is based on 55 litres Dennerle Scaper's Tank. My Equipment: Aquael FZN-3 hang-on filter Tunze 9001 skimmer 1xVortech MP10, 2xJebao flow pumps D-D p4 pro doser Kamoer ATO ONE SE auto top-off I use...

hello i am new here this is my 15 gallon tank

This is my current aqua scape I’m looking at keeping for my tank. Tank will be mainly for 2 clowns, softies, maybe SPS down the track and definitely an anemone once the tank is mature. Anyone have any suggestions or improvements for what I’ve got currently? Ignore the little coral skeleton at...

I recently treated the aiptasia in my tank with aiptasia x and did a water change. During the water change I removed some bubble algae and white fungus as siphoned my tank but I kept getting this funky smell, almost like a green bean smell.. strange right. Im not sure if it was the aiptasia x...

Hey all, so I’m slowly in the process of piecing together my nano reef. I’ve got a Red Sea Max nano, it’s about 75L/20G, with 62L in the display, and 13 in the AIO sump. I’m looking to buy a powerhead that’ll provide adequate flow for my tank, but I’m hoping to find something that is wireless...

After having lurked on several forums for over five years I finally got an amazing deal on a tank I should have bit the bullet on a long time ago. The plan is to have a pretty simple fish only tank at first until I upgrade the lights. Eventually I know I’m going to get coral. I’m not expecting a...

I’ve recently had an outburst of critters in the return section of my nano aquarium. My water parameter haven’t changed, livestock is happy, so I’m left wonder what these are and if I should remove them by cleaning out the return chamber. Any and all insight and suggestions are much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I just setup my 3rd reef that I'm quite excited about. Originally I had a Cobalt Aquatics CVue40 in my dorm but after less than a semester I decided it was entirely too large for the room and a HUGE pain to transport back and forth home over long breaks since I live 3+ hours...

Hey there, This is my nanoreef, driven only by Algae Scrubber. What do you think about it? the video is taken from my personal Italian Guide about ATS, so don’t care about the audio but focus on what you can see! tell me what do you think about it! Plz!!! link: Acquario Marino, Metodo ATS...

Decided to do a tank update - my nano reef has been running roughly a year, a little bit longer since I had to tear it down when I moved. Overall, it’s been fun still have a long ways to go before getting something bigger. I’ll update fish/coral stocking on a later post. In the meantime see...

I feel like I’m joining scouts with all the badges out here Here comes my attempt at a build thread.. condensed into a few stages as I’ve sort of already started oops.. Back Story Last year I was a huge freshwater (planted tanks) fanboy but had a spare nano tank lying around so I thought I’d...

5 heads from Manhattan Aquariums in 2020

I believe its an isopod. Cant tell if its a good thing or bad.

Hi all. I began my saltwater adventure with nano tanks and am going to see how I fair with a 40 gallon. I was last on the forums a few years ago, and still quite naive with expectations. Doing a few things wrong if you catch my drift. I’ll be going with the 40 gallon breeder from petco as they...
