Hello everyone,
Recently broke down my tank as my wife and I are planning to have kids and like to travel(Id rather break the tank down then neglect it). All items were purchased new in January 2020 or newer Minus the apex controller unit. I am located in Boise and willing to ship equipment or...
I have narrowed it down to two different skimmers I cant decide between for my new system. One is the Red Sea RSK300 and the other is the Reef Octopus 150INT 6". I know both have good reviews but I have read the pump on the Reef Octopus is better and quieter. Anyone have any input on either...
Howdy,
I have a red sea reefer 250 with stock sump. I have the reef octopus 110 INT skimmer. Needs to be in 6 inches of water but i currently have my sump level at 9 and i do kind of like it at 9 inches. So either i will buy a skimmer stand or DIY this project. Which could be a good time killer...

Hello Everyone,
So I am about 2 months into the hobby and it feels like its been an eternity since I started but I have learned so much and have tried things that some people have told me not to try and have been successful so I am going to share my recent photos of my build and hopefully you...
I had a couple of questions in relevance to a shipping timeline and process of receiving the actual aquarium.
- How long or average wait time did you go through to get your aquarium on your doorstep?
- Not really familiar with drop shipping but seems its straight forward?
- Do they contact me...
I currently have a 36 gallon bow front tank with a canister filter which has been up and running for 1 year now. Been an amazing learning experience and it has taken some effort to keep it stable. Finally decided that I would get a "real" reef tank with a legitimate setup.
With the exception of...

Hey guys , so I’ve had multiple saltwater fish tanks for a while now and have always wanted a Red Sea reefer , if I got one it would probably be a 100 gallon. I do have one old model that’s only 30 gallons but it’s very old so there’s nothing new to it . I’m not sure if I really understand the...

Hey all, I just dosed my last bit of Red Sea (RS) magnesium this morning and calcium plus isn’t far behind. Instead of reordering the Red Sea I’ve had my eye on the Tropic Marin ALL-FOR-REEF BRS has some great reviews and it’s been sold out during covid times. I’m wondering what folks think...
Hi all, I have never owned a saltwater tank before and am interested in starting. I saw a Red Sea 130D for sale for pretty cheap and think it might be a good idea. It doesn’t come with the light or the hood but I don’t mind because I figured open top and better light would be better for the tank...

I HATE this sump, too small no options to put anything in etc. If you have post some details and pics. I can't fit anything else in mine and serviceability is very difficult.
Hey everyone!
Tank: This is my 20 Gallon Concept Abyss Peninsula from Innovative Marine. I got this tank last year at Reef-A-Palooza from SCMAS but haven't had the time to build a stand for it up until a month ago. The quarantine finally gave me time away from school to build a stand for it and...

Hello All,
I've had a few tanks in the past but all were FOWLR and they were more than a decade ago. Currently I have a 24 gallon Aquatop AIO running that was supposed to be a QT tank for my 100 gallon Cadlights build I had started. I started the stand and started getting equipment and then...
