Long time hobbyist and enthusiast from Knoxville, TN. Looking to get back into the world of reef aquariums after a 2 year hiatus after having to sell my tank after moving into a smaller location. I just inherited an Oceanic 42 gallon hexagon and I'm looking to get it up and running as a small...

So I picked up a 20 gallon tank that was previously set up with very well cured live rock. I cycled the tank keeping an eye on parameters and it has stayed at 0 PPM for Ammonia and Nitrate. Is this common with a previously established tank? I filled with RO/DI water and used instant ocean salt...

Hi there fellow reefers! I just purchased my first tank and it has been running for around 3 days now, I purchased a Refugium Light at my lfs but it is too large for my setup. I was wondering if anyone knew of any small low cost Refugium lights that will fit on the back of an aquaclear50 HOB...

After a very unsuccessful attempt over a year ago and having more free time on my hands, I find myself fascinated with the vibrant colours and intrigued by the keeping of both coral and marine animals. I’m in the middle of planning (saving for) a mixed reef system. I currently have a 660mm x...
