Hello everyone. We are about 1 month now into the hobby and made a list of fishes we would potentially like to have. We obviously know a lot of these we won't be able to get but would like your opinion on what we can or should not get, problems they may cause or alternatives. Now we do want to...
All kinds of fun stuff happening here!
Looks dull and boring from far but I've been enjoying using the magnifying glass to find all the tiny critters. We started out by accidentally bringing home a Cone Shell Hermit crab inside this Auger shell, threw him in a bucket of water with a nice algae...
Hello all R2R people! My name is Corey and I have been reefing for a little over a year and a half. I have been studying R2R at a constant since I found out about it. I started with a fluval 13.5 and upgraded almost instantly to a 40 breeder with HOB equipment. At the time I was living in...
Hello everyone. Off the bat I am new to the hobby but have been doing research on different sites to learn before getting into the hobby. Now it's been 2 weeks now since we set up our waterbox 65.4 tank. We tried the fishless cycle using Dr Tims. In our tank we used caribsea live sand special...
Had a great suggestion from @Fish Think Pink to catalogue my build. So that is what I am going to do. Kept African cichlids for 10+ years and decided for my 40th Bday that I would take the dive and try my hand at saltwater. List below is what I have and will be using for my setup:

Just wondering if anyone can help me identify this coral and about how much they believe it runs for, I just got this coral today from a guy as a gift and I’ve only been in this hobby for about a month now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s the coral to the right of my bubble coral.
Hey everyone,
I noticed on my glass within my aquarium there seems to be tiny little white specs and they move, seems like I got a good amount. Are they copepods? Or something else I should be concerned about? I’ve attached a picture and they are very small, I hope the picture is clear enough...

Hi I’m relatively new to marine tanks. I’ve kept small all in ones before but now I want to move into a large scale.
I don’t like the style of many marine tanks and have came across the Juwel Vision 260 Marine Aquarium, I’m also considering the size up (450). I really love the curvature of it...
I have just purchased a microscope after believing that my diatom outbreak looked slightly different than usual with bubbles in them.
the photos are below and some microscopic photos
what do we think ?
hello and thanks in advanced.
I have set a new tank up and it’s around 10 days old at this point.
Over the last two days a huge coating of brown algae I believe to be diatoms has covered my rocks, sand and glass.
however it is also covered in air bubbles which makes me think it’s not diatoms...
Hello and how is my wonderful extended family today? This thread is for a suggestion that I think would benefit everybody here on reef to reef. Our build contribution badge is a linked badge. So when you hit somebody's build badge it'll automatically take you to their build. But what about the...
hello.
I have just noticed a small what appears white spot on my fox face.
it is very small and appears to be more of a dimple in some photos than a raised lump.

Hi all I’m new to saltwater fish keeping and after about 2 1/2 months on my first tank I thought it was time to add my favourite thing in the world being an Tri colour bubble tip anemone for my clowns to host in.
I’m well aware of the issues people have with them moving and stinging corals...
Hi All!
My name's Marina and I've only had a reef tank for a few months. I had freshwater fish in the past, but having a saltwater tank has always been my dream and I finally went for it! I've been doing as much research as I can, but I still have so much to learn. Any advice would be greatly...
