new 20

Hey guys, I just started up my second reef tank. Waterbox Cube 20, I built a life rock reef scape and am adding in live rock, some in my mid chamber and some in the display to skip cycle. I know this isn’t a pure skip with the life rock but can I swing it as a skip because of the Live I have in...

Hello all, It’s a pretty funny story how this 20G build came to be. My GF and I were at uncle bills to get her a Beta fish, one thing led to another and we were stuck on the gorgeous saltwater fish. We both always loved aquariums and I’ve always wanted a tank. Well we decided to go with a...

Hello, I've had a 20G tank setup since the beginning of February and I have a Scarlet legged hermit in there (along with 1 blue legged and 2 clownfish). He's been sitting on the top of my rocks for days now and moved as recently as Friday. Today I went to spot feed him, which I do sometimes...

Hello everyone! I've been cycling my 20 long for about a week now, I know I still have a long ways to go. I'm doing a fishless cycle and I threw in a cocktail shrimp about 2days in and I'm wondering if I should remove it? I have about 5lbs of live rock in there and I'm just letting it do its...

Hello! I will summarize at the end and provide photos if you don't want to read my initial tank journey from start to now, but here we go! I included the journey only because maybe there was a misstep I took that can explain things. Look for the colored markers if you want quick notes, and...

Hello all, I am a returning member of the reef community after years off, and new to the site! Please excuse me while I learn the etiquette and how to ask what I'm thinking in my head. I've set up a 20G Nuvo Peninsula tank in my office and so far here is what I've done. I'm mainly concerned...

I had a tank 10 years ago and I really liked having clowns and miss them. I'm at a place where I want to have a tank again and I have a few questions since it has been so long and I'm sure times have changed for fish keeping. I am looking at getting a 20 gallon fish only tank with: 2 clowns; 1...

Still familiarizing myself with the site, and pretty sure I should have started here! I live in Denville, NJ, I just started my 1st 20-gallon reef tank with dry rock for cycling, enhanced with MicroBacter just to speed things up, but I'm home all the time with COVID and a newborn so I have loads...
