I'm excited to start working on a new project, a 100'' long shallow reef tank! Previously, three smaller shallow reef tanks covered this wall.. but I always had the dream of creating one large, low-tech, system and having lots of mangroves, macro algae and nano critters in it. Above the water I...

Excited to start my build thread for my 'get back into the hobby tank'. The tank is pretty unique, a former petco acrylic frag tank purchased from another R2R member. This is how it looked when I brought it home. Peep the wife's cat already sticking his nose where it doesn't belong haha. It...

Finally got water in the UNS 60S that I ordered 3 months ago! It's hard to scape a super shallow tank, but I'm happy with the results. Equipment-wise I'm keeping this simple: heater and hygger mini wave maker (controls are weird, but it's a great little powerhead). Would love some stocking...

I'm looking for suggestions for lighting my new build tank is 48x24x16 but it's a peninsula tank so honestly I need to light around 43" long. I'm running t5 dimmable but wanting something different.
