What's up everyone! I am new to R2R, but had been admiring from afar for some time. Build threads is what made me love the site, not to mention the excellent community of reefers, so I figured why not start a thread to share my build.
For starters this is my first reef tank, I have kept fresh...

We are finally getting to the point of aquascaping this 65 gallon tank! However, we are completely stumped on how we want to set it up so we are open to any and all ideas, tips and tricks.
Lets be real, this your chance to brag about how great your tank is! Let's see some of those reef setup!
Hey friends! My family and I will be taking ownership of a Red Sea Max C250 tank here in about the next week. We want to upgrade it to LED lights and find a service parts list for this bad boy! Has anyone had luck with modifying the top to LED lights? Anyone know where I can find a service parts...
Is there a way to log/graph the roller mat usage of a RedSea ReefMat filter using a Neptune Apex ?
Example: alerts for mat issues like rip/tare or end of roll flow issues. Red Sea has their "ReefBeat app" but can the same be collected/alerted to Apex?
I have noticed my API kit readings are always much different than my RedSea. Any advise on which I should be following or do I assume my numbers are somewhere in the middle? Is there another test kit I should be using?
For example,
PH - API 7.8 vs RedSea 8.1
KH - API 10 vs RedSea 8
PO4 - API...

Coz, I already have 100gal system mixreef with a plenty of fish (3 actually) on it, and i’m trying to use that product.

Hello,
I am currently a law student about to graduate (3L) and the end of tight finances is finally near, Hooray! I have been running an Innovative Marine AIO 20 gal since about 2016/2017. It has been great to me and I've gotten to work out all the issues a reef tank can bring. I run an...
So, got an S 1000 I’m working on setting up. My original plan was to use the stock plumbing setup. However, the more I think about my last tank, I’d like a little more flexibility than what that provides. Also, I’ve got an under the stairs closet right behind the tank which would be a great...
Hey all,
I'm having a difficult time choosing between the Red Sea 350 and the Marine X 110.4. Both are very similar in specs and the size I want but I keep going back and forth between the two. Initially, I was set on the Waterbox because I continued to hear and read about the seams busting on...
Hey all!!
So I currently have an empty Red Sea Max Nano sitting in my room with some dry rock already scaped in it. It’s currently sitting there empty only because I’m moving in with my partner in 6 months, so I figured better to wait until then to set it up!
So my question is, is the tank...
I have recently bought a few RedSea LED 90's and got the aluminium universal mounts to go with them, but have noticed that they keep 'sagging' and angling downwards. I have attached a couple of photos. I thought it was because the screw needed to be tighter, but when I tried to tighten it, I...
Hi! I need some advice on lights, I can’t decide between a Ai Prime and a Red Sea Reef led 50, I have a 60 gallon Aqueon corner tank, I’m probably going for a mixed with a few sticks.
cycling right now and running my old Nicrew light atm. No coral. I understand for sticks I’m going to need more...

Hey everyone! Been a bit but now I have some really great progression pics to share with you all and anyone looking to get an idea of how much growth you can expect after 4 months of running the new upgrades I added to my tank. I will try to...
Hey all,
Ive been slowly piecing together my tank, and I’ve spent the past few weeks deciding on what salt to use. I’m currently hung up between Red Sea Salt, or their Coral Pro salt. I live in Australia so some other salts are unavailable, but for my tank needs the coral pro seems best
I’ll...
so I was thinking......
long story short I was planing on an ATS as part of my RS650P filtration due to supply chain issues I might just do a fuge.
I have never had a proper fuge before but have had complete macro algae tank. so my question is would a maco display fuge filter as well as a...
This is my current aqua scape I’m looking at keeping for my tank. Tank will be mainly for 2 clowns, softies, maybe SPS down the track and definitely an anemone once the tank is mature. Anyone have any suggestions or improvements for what I’ve got currently?
Ignore the little coral skeleton at...
Hey guys,
I just bought a Neptune DOS pump to set up automatic water changes. It works great and I love how easy it was to setup but I’m not crazy about the cost or the form factor. $300 for a double head and it’s bulky and awkward AF. I only had the pump for maybe a week or 2 and I’m sure my...
I know I ALWAYS have a little ‘test anxiety’ when performing my water tests every week (alk every other day). I always hope everything turns out well and it usually does. Problem is, when it doesn’t (or I have missed a few weeks of testing), it can sometimes bring on a little panic as the...
Hi Guys!
Just bought and assembled a new RedSea Reefer 350, with a V3 sump! I have a lot of plans for the tank, and put together an initial video documenting my progress:
I am planning to custom plumb the Clarisea 5000 and will document that in a new video as well, for anyone who is...
