start up

Hi there, Firstly, I’m new here so…hello! I’m setting up a nano 10-gallon tank and need advice on what to do about my rocks. This will be my third tank, and I’m ecstatic to get things going. Last year, my last aquarium was cut short by my (psycho) now ex-girlfriend. The tank was running for...

I'm deciding to start up another tank as my 90 gallon cant be moved to my new room as its currently sitting on top of a exterior wall on the second floor and my new room doesn't have that option. So with that being said I would like some recommendations for hardware and filter options for my 14...

I am just starting it out, I realized I needed to rearrange the live rock after joining this site and finding some tips. Looking to Start with clowns of course, I would like to slowly add in some blennies, royal gamma basset, a star fish and when i think I’m ready a mandarin. Of course I’m...

Getting started on this journey. I have been learning whatever I can retain over the past few months. Now I'm ready as ever to take my chance at my first reef tank. I've dreamed of a saltwater aquarium since I was just a little guy so here it goes. My plan is to build a minimal maintenance 40...

So I have lived my life setting up tanks the old fashioned way by adding bacteria and waiting for the nitrate spike after a few weeks / months. However recently my parents set their saltwater tank up in less than a few days using “Nano start prodibio vials”. They have used live sand, rock and...

Bought a 65 gallon tank that was running for a year, but the owner got a bigger one and gave me this with everything included, but lights and stand. I build my own stand replaced the piping because it needed a touch up. I filled it with freshwater everything runs smoothly. I’m putting in the...

So I wanted to start up a new tank. Was looking at a 200 gallon 48x36x27. Just wanted to get ideas for what equipment I should buy for a mixed reef tank. Thank you

I started a build thread in another a forum but wanted to post a link to it here since it is for a 93g cube tank. Thanks for visiting! JamesB. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/93g-cube-build-thread-mixed-reef.624261/

Hi All, I'm getting a bit nervous reading a lot of things about Red Sea Coral Pro Salt being incredibly cloudy for folks starting their tanks. I plan to fill my Nuvo 40 this weekend using Red Sea Coral Pro Salt. I plan to follow directions, mix salt in at 68 degrees in RO/DI water for about 1...

Hello everyone! I am in the process of researching and choosing a new reef tank. Just joined R2R today and am excited to learn everything about reefing! I came across the famous 32 gal LED BioCube on Amazon and it seems like a decent start-up for SPS, soft corals and zoanthids. Does anyone...
