Hello!
Welcome to my first build thread on R2R! About a year and a half ago, I started my first reef aquarium which was a BioCube 16. Even though I had been told nano tanks can be hard to maintain due to the small water volume, I had a great time with that tank and learned a TON. For me, it...
Hi Everyone , This will be my first nano build. I am quite excited to do this build. Wanting to make this a ULM tank or as low as possible!! I have a 120gal already :p lol hope I won't regret maintenance days . Thinking of a Euphyllia dominate with LPS/Softies.
Equipment:
Powerhead: MP10 or...
Thank you for taking the time to look at this listing. These lights were bought new on 10/14/2020 from marinedepot. After using these lights for the last couple months I realize that I need something with more power. Don't get me wrong these light will grow corals but the color for me just don't...
So I just upgraded my nitrate test kit (from Amazon) to the red sea pro and it expires in august of this year. It was only $35, which is a drop in the bucket in this hobby, but I feel like I should expect at least a year of use out of a decent test kit. So what do I do? Complain and return, or...
Hey guys, here is my very first saltwater tank. I’m very excited!!! I’ve wanted to start one for years now and I finally did.
Any advice for a new reefer? Especially on how to deal with diatoms? I’m on week 4 now and it’s starting to explode!
I have been having a few issues with my phosphate level, or I think I have anyway.
Both of these test were done at the same time the only difference is that one was done with 16ml of ro water and 1ml of tank water and the other was done with 17ml of tank water. But they both have me the same...
I'm not sure if this the appropriate forum for this, but oh well.
Has anyone had experience with this test kit? I'm wondering if I'm just unlucky or the equipment in this test kit is just junk.
I've had this kit for about a month now testing DKH every day. I've noticed the markings on the...

So I was finally able to get my hands on a used 250 reefer the tank I’ve been wanting . I’m pretty excited . The guy I got it from upgraded to a 525 so I was able to pick this up with no accessories.
He upgraded the plumbing to a standard 1” brs set up . Found a guy selling a nib reefer 300...

Clamp for ReefLed 90 was $5.
Top arm for ReefLed 21-24 inch was $10
Shipping was $15. But didn't have...
Hi everyone,

Used reefer 525XL v3 roughly 6-7mo old. Broke tank down as I have a lot going on in life and would rather break the tank down then neglect it. Tank will come with stand, sump and Clarisea Fleece Roller. Sump was modified with a check valve on the return and filter socks were cut out for fleece...
Now that I know 100% I cannot install an in wall tank my only choices come down to these two tanks.
I’m getting confused when ordering , do lights come with these tanks? Are these lights actually good?
Waterbox shows a bunch of additional items I need but what about Red Sea? Do I need a sump...
Hey guys, had this octo 32 up and running for a little over a year now. Nothing too crazy just getting back in the swing of things after being away for a few year, looking to upgrade to possibly a Red Sea 350 or maybe a 425. Also have a 16g bio cube that is the bedroom tank and also the...

Red sea states that you can not store their coral pro salt mixed in water for more than 12 hours otherwise you will get precipitation. So why then does the alk and calcium not precipitate in our tanks at 12 hours after a water change?

So I have been using a API nitrate test since I first started my tank, it has seemed pretty reliable but it has just run out so I thought id try the red sea pro test, bought the kit with phosphate aswell.
The issue I'm having is that the API test was saying my nitrates are at 10 but I've just...
