I'm starting a new 90 gal reef tank and want to know what style of aquascape to do. I ordered 100 pounds of dry rock from John at ReefCleaners and made this:
I haven't glued anything yet so I'm still able to move things around. I wanna see what you guys made, I'm also open to any suggestions.
The wife and I have decided to down size our current set up.
So here it is:
130 gallon (5'x2'x'2) Planet Aquariums Crystaline series tank with matching black stand -More info on the tank and stand can be found here (https://www.planetaquariums.com/crystaline)

I'm setting up a new 90 gallon reef tank with a 30 gallon sump (protein skimmer, carbon and gfo reactors, refugium with chaetomorpha). Mixed reef, thinking mostly sps and lps and not sure what kind of reef safe fish to put in it. Here's what I m thinking so far:
- Kole yellow eye tang

Hey, all!
I am new to R2R and generally new to the SW community! I am looking for anyone willing to give me advice (local and abroad) and help me along my way. I live in San Digeo, CA and LOVE it! So much access to options for my SW tanks!

Hey everyone! I've been around I think for a year now but never actually made a thread on my tanks progress or how I even started! So let me start by introducing myself then how I got to where I am currently on my tank. Hi! I'm Zachary, but usually go by Zach. I've been keeping freshwater fish...
I have a 150 gallon aquarium, with a
SKIMZ KONE SK201 INTERNAL PROTEIN SKIMMER, DIY Algae turf scrubber. I currently have moved all fish to a 55 gallon to properly quarantine after an ick breakout. I was battling with hair algae with Nitrates-8, phosphates-.08. I plan to only add 8 total fish...
Just like the title says I'm looking for a smaller colorful fish that has a lot of movement in my reef tank. I also want to have them in a group of say 3 to 5. My tank is a 70 gallon tank with a Christmas wrasse, tribal blenny, ocellaris clown, mystery wrasse, and a hi hat goby, oh and I have a...
I was looking at a butterfly, but I'm pretty nervous about it since I have a mixed reef with a little of everything. If it eats zoas I'm not really worried since I don't care for those corals but do have some. I do have some acros which I like but I'm more of a fan of lps corals any way. I was...
Tank Parameters Of Some Masters
To this day one of the most frequently asked questions I get, and actually that many “old time hobbyists” get is “How do I get rid of the algae in my tank. My first question then is “what are the parameters of your tank’s water? Invariably the answer is my tank’s...
This was fish only back in 2009. Tank has been sitting since roughly thereafter. Right now I am currently looking for upgrades and will have it cycling soon, depending how long I take to get some items. Need sump/refugium, light, return pump, wave makers. The aquarium is 41" x 24" x 24". A...
Hello everyone, I finally logged in to the Reef2Reef forum. Looking to share my experiences but mostly learn from all of yours. I have a 29g biocube reef tank with a couple fish but mostly Im determined to having a healthy and beautiful collection of corals. Right now mostly soft with duncans...
In my younger days of reef keeping (only just got to my second year) I didn't have a keen eye for the many hitchhiking pests on frag plugs. Thankfully after a closer eye developed and a good dipping regiment, I feel as though I've kept many bad things out. However, I have tons of vermited...
So I found the receipt today from the day I bought salt to fill up the tank, and it's been a whole year! I wanted to write something to recognize it because its what I spend most of my time doing.
I wanted to share a few of my personal goals, and get to know some of your guys plans!
-first I...
I have had several tanks in the past all reef tanks and one day I decided to get out of it and sold everything. After my tank was gone i missed it so bad that I bought another one and started all over. Here it is in the beginning with hardly nothing in it
Hey there everyone! It's time for my new build! I am going with the Deep Blue 80g Rimless Shallow Reef tank! I ordered it from FishTanksDirect and am just waiting on it to be delivered at this time. I have a club member from my city currently building me a wood stand which will be delivered in...

The Past and Future of the Hobby
At this time of year, we often look back on what has transpired in the past year both good and bad and think about it. For me, it was for the most part a good year in aquarium terms, as I wrote a fair amount, most of my tanks did well and I traveled more than I...
ok I tested my calcium on Monday and it was at 390. I tested it today and it was at 410 and I have not put anything in my tank to raise it. I was wondering what would cause it to do that?
I got a bunch of corals from the wwc live sales most of the ones I ordered are doing great but a few, not so much. I'm still fairly new to corals and I have these in a 120 gallon tank I upgraded to this july. the corals I'm posting came in a frag pack so I'm not entirely sure what they are...
Hello all. Here is my tank. It is a 33 gal with a HOB filter and a powerhead. I got it used from someone, and now I'm just getting it established at my house. It has its problems. Which I will tackle one at a time. Today I will be pulling all the rock out and spraying it all with peroxide...
I have a new (to me) 33 gallon reef tank. It is a well established tank so I have already added coral to it. I am going to let it sit for a couple weeks before adding fish. BUT I would like advice on what kinds of fish I can add. It is 33 gallon, but as long and deep as a 50... just not as TALL...
Hey everyone,
So i recently stumbled upon a Lightning Maroon clown fish at a price so low i couldnt pass it up. So for the meantime i have him in a 5 gallon nano while i set up his new 75 Gallon mixed reef tank. The Lightning Maroon will obviously be the star of the tank, so i need to make sure...
