tank advice

Hey, everyone. I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I've had a 25g Waterbox peninsula for over a year now (will be 2 years in May 2023). I am looking to upgrade to a redsea reefer; however, it wouldn't be anything too large due to cost and space. I was looking at the Redsea reefer 200 and 250...

So! I'm one of those people that tried to keep a snowflake with fish, and while it's worked out so far. I'm slowly starting to see her get nippy towards fish on feeding day so when I move my fish and coral to my new tank, she is going to stay in the 4pg cube until I find a suitable new tank...

Hello!! Been out of the hobby for awhile but want to come back now that I have some funding (wasn’t making much in high school) Looking at AIO aquariums, specifically the IM 50g Lagoon because it’s a decent price for the display size. Now I like being different and really want my tank to stand...

I'm cycling my first tank and am just wondering how long it took everyone else. I have dry rock and live sand, but the question applies to any situation (dry rock, live rock, dry sand, live sand, bare bottom, ect.)

I am looking for a specific dimension tank, preferably reef ready and rimless. The closest I have found are seapora 75g coming in at 48x18x20 and waterbox's Marine X 110.4 coming in at 47.2 x 19.7 x 21.7. My third option, would be a glasscages tank. I have heard good things about them, but the...

In the process of downsizing my 350G acrylic tank. Although customized tank sounds more superior and stable option - I am getting stuck into a black hole of going back and forth and doubting all my decisions... Rimless is pretty but traditional canopy style might fit better with the overall...

So I am new to saltwater/tanks in general and I wanted to know if I would have room for a flame angelfish and a sand sifter goby. Currently I have a 29 or 31 gallon bio cube (I don’t know which) and as of now i have 2 of ocellaris clowns, a purple dotty back, and a skunk cleaner shrimp. I keep...

So I am looking to get a new tank. I currently have a 20 gallon cube and 60 gallon cube but would like to upgrade to something bigger. I was originally planning on waiting a while to do this but the seams my 60 cube are starting to get questionable. I bought that tank used (for a steal) and...

Hey y’all, I need some help. I’ve got a more detailed background of my tank on my build thread, I’m going to post a few pics and if anyone can help me ID I would be so thankful. I’m going to have to restart my tank & rip clean, especially with all these issues, but I would still like to know...

Hello everyone! I’ve been in the hobby for around only 6 months, I started with a 75 Gal with only 4 fish, but now have a 75 gal and 125 gal. I want a new long term setup for both of the tanks, I most certainly want coral in at least the 75 gal. I am considering clownfish only I’m the 75 gal...

Is my tank leaking? Or just the humidity due to the tank? Under the table where the tank is put in, the tiles is always slightly wet, wet like when you blow against your window and it fogs and you touch it, thats what it feels.

So what is the function of a canopy? Is it really something that helps that much? I ask because I don’t think it looks that great and would rather have open top. I like the rimless look too but want to hear the pros and cons before I make a decision.

Hello Everyone! I am looking at building a frame for my 125gal tank. I am looking for ideas on the best way to design the front of the tank for accessibility and function. My current plan is to have a metal base frame then adding wood around it for looks and function. Tell me you ideas or what...
