Skimmer, Tank, & Sump Pairings You'll ❤ Keep water clean and look great doing it!

Ive always kept freshwater systems and decided to try my hand at saltwater. After a short 6 month stretch with a biocube 32 which I upgraded almost everything on it aside from a sump this was the next logical step until I can talk my fiancé into a much larger tank! This will be a mixed reef...

I have begun my tank upgrade. Currently I have a 75 gallon tank: My 75 was working okay, but I don't have a sump and I don't have enough room. I also don't think I have enough light. So I decided to upgrade to a Red Sea Max S-500. I'm still relatively new to saltwater tanks (my 75 has...

Just upgraded from nano tanks to now a big tank. Go big or go home, so I went BIG and I brought it home. Feel free to follow me on this journey as I customize and modify this tank. Feel free to provide feedbacks, I would love to see what you all think.

I am selling my white Red Sea C250 ($1,850 retail), it's inhabitants, 80 pounds of live rock ($800 value) and all my other aquarium ephemera including my Apex system ($800 value). A car accident and subsequent surgeries are keeping me from giving it the love and attention it deserves. Make...

It is now just shy of a month since I ordered my MAX E 170 from saltwateraquariums.com and I still do not have a working fish tank. My tank showed up quickly (less than a week) but showed up broken. After almost 2 weeks of working with them and getting the runaround (it's not us, it's our...

Have seen bad reviews and good reviews from cad lights but every time I get on the phone with them I don't see how they can be that bad. checked out the local store and they unfortunately didn't have the 45 shallow in stock. They told me it will be in by the end of this month but I wanted...

Welcome All to HighEndOfTheLow's new build. So new year, new house, new job, new tank, new thread! Brief history: Uk based Reefer Couple, 12 years and 6 years experience respectively. Been largely quiet on forums for the past few years due to moving into rental accommodation, finally after ~3...

Build thread for my new (as of 16-Dec-2017) Red Sea Reefer Peninsula 500 (Deluxe Edition). More Pictures and information to come.

As my tank is maturing so are my methods -- and I wanted to share the first of my side by side. Like many out there, I started with the reasonably priced and easily available API Test Kits and have relied on them for the first months of my tanks existence with good results to date - fish alive...

Red Sea Reefer Peninsula 650 sump Brand New with 4 mesh Filter socks. $250 AZ pickup only. I’m in Flagstaff and I’m down in the Valley often so I could possibly bring down to the Valley.

I'm so excited to get back into the game after a 10 year absence (military moves and deployments are not compatible to reef keeping). I worked at an aquarium store back in the day and finally pulled the trigger on getting back into the hobby with a Max E 170 which gets here Thursday. My tank...

Hello everyone, I have a reefer 350 and I wanted to try out a small DIY project on my sump. I don’t know exactly how to go about this so I need some help. So I was looking at a YouTube video on the BRS page on Kalkwasser. Here is the link . So I had an idea, on the video aound 8min 15sec...

hi, I am planning to upgrade my current 20 gallon reef tank that has been running for 10 months to a 74 gallon reefer 350 tank. I will be using the existing 16 lbs of live rock plus some new live rocks, and new sand bed for the new tank. Wondering do I need to cycle my new tank or I can do a...

I’m starting my Red Sea Reefer 170 build shortly. I just ordered my Reefer 170 and I do not have it yet. This will be my 2nd setup. My first tank I set up a little less than 2 years ago, it was a 75 gallon setup with a 30 gallon sump. I then added a 40 breeder to the system about a year ago...

This is my first time documenting a tank build. I have been out of the hobby for 2 years since my 75 gallon reef tank went on fire. The fire displaced me, my pregnant wife, and a few neighbors from our condo. It was a horrible experience but thankfully no one was hurt. Coincidentally 2 years...

Hello, I've been struggling to decide what tank to purchase, because I keep thinking I can find exactly what I want. I hope the good folks here can help. I'm strongly leaning towards the Red Sea E-170, but it's not quite what I want. The (ideal) tank I want: 24x24x24 true cube (or 24x24x20...

Ok , I’m super stoked to start this build ! Little frustrating to start . I picked up the tank little over 3 week ago and had a cabinet panel damaged and after dealing with my lfs and finally emailing Red Sea the panel is on its way. Let me start off by saying this tank is a beast ! It’s heavy...

Switching from metric to standard plumbing with no adapters ! I used the og overflow box plumbing . Put a light sanding on 1” pvc pipe and fits perfectly!

It has begun! My wife and I have decided on not going quite as large as I posted in my Introduction thread back in October. We were thinking the Red Sea Reefer 350 Deluxe. The Den where the tank will be is not massive but it can accommodate the Red Sea 250 Deluxe nicely. In fact the overall...

Hi all, can I just say what an excellent forum and source of information/guidance we have at our finger tips here! I have kept tropical fish a decade or so back and I found that quite simple to maintain. Because it is! I have always wanted a salt water reef aquarium so before I go for the...

Hey guys, Starting to add some different corals to my tank. Currently have a hammer colony, zoa, birds nest, a candy cane, and 3 types on montipora. I got my first Hanna checker the other day. Tested the Calcium and it was at 261. I'm using Red Sea Coral Pro salt. Got me wondering what the...

Hello everyone. Thought I would document the build of our brand new Red Sea Reefer 525XL Deluxe. Been on this forum for a while, had a 55g reef tank in NJ for several years. Even with hang on back everything, plus a canister filter, it did very well. We moved to NC this past summer, and did not...
