tank upgrade

Hi all! I recently upgraded my tank in May and wanted to share my progress with everyone. I started with a JBJ 45 that I built back in March 2021. Now, in 2024, I've outgrown that tank—especially with my bristle tooth tang needing more space as it matured. I purchased him very small, knowing I...

Upgrading to a wb infinia 150 and it’s suppose to ship at the end of June. I’m upgrading from a 50 gallon cube. All I want to transfer over to the new tank is the fish. I have a lot of my rock covered in brown clove polyps so I don’t want to use any of it in the new tank. Im going to start...

Hi, I currently have a 65+15 gallon established tank, and I will be getting a new 100+40 gallon tank. I’m looking to combine both tanks (remove one sump) to reduce maintenance. I also plan to remove all sand and go bare bottom on current tank. What’s the safest way to go? There are two ways...

Hello Reefers, I have been cycling my new aquarium 260 gallons for a week and a half after adding turbo start 900 and some rocks from my old system. Today I made a nitrate test and found 1.2 ppm. I have 3 little fish in there swimming happily and eating a lot. I am upgrading my 110-gallon tank...

I’ve had my fluvo evo 13.5 gallon for about a year now and I was thinking of maybe upgrading to a 20 gallon tank. I know I can use the same light and auto top off, but what would you guys recommend for filtration upgrades that would work for a 20 gallon, also would the pump I have work for it or...

Hey Guys - My new tank is coming along well and cycling well and its time for me to move my corals to the new tank. I have few issues from the first tank 1) It has byropsis - even though in the limited area/rock but still there and i would like to remove it while moving 2) and additional...

Hi everybody I have a question hope someone can help me with. So I’m recently just getting back into the hobby with an Innovative Marine nuvo 15 tank. It’s cycled going on 3 weeks with two clowns…but I recently had the opportunity to get the innovative Marine nuvo 20 tank an impulse buy and...

Hi, Newbie here… Am about to start a tank upgrade… 10 months into current tank but realised early on that we rushed into it… wrong shape, wrong size, not good enough filtration etc… haven’t ordered new tank yet, we are forward planning a bit more this time Currently have a 200 litre...

Hi fellow reefers, I need some advise regarding my upcoming tank upgrade/transfer. Basically, I am moving everything except for sand from my Red Sea XL200 to a 110 gallon Waterbox. The tank has been running for almost 2 years and the transfer is supposed to be simple as the new tank will be...

Hi saltwater friends. My new tank is enroute and I’m so excited to upgrade to my new tank! I was wondering if anyone in here has the Red Sea Max260 or similar model and could share any things for me to look out for with tank setup. I’m quite nervous about setting up such a large (for me) tank...

Hi all, recently I upgraded my 55 gallon to a 90 gallon tank. The tank was bought off someone and I got everything up and running yesterday. The tank already came with a good amount of fish in it which I plan to take some out and give to my Lfs. Currently, there are a pair of ocellaris, a coral...

So I’m going from a 30 gal to a 55 gal reef tank and current problems in my 29 gal tank is that I have spaghetti worms and hydroids. I don’t want either in my new tank so my idea is to not use my previous substrate (elimination of some of the worms) and using new sand. I know with that my...

I know that there are multiple write ups on using old tank water but I would very much appreciate situation specific advice if you folks don’t mind. I’m moving my 2’ tessalata eel from his current 55 long holding tank to a 90 gal 4’ x 2’ x 18” (L x W x H) with sump (sump is about 25 gallons)...

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...

Hello everyone, It's been a hot minute since I've really been active on here but I come back today with a question, or rather, I'm seeking some advice. I've been in the hobby for a little while now and by no means consider myself anything but a beginner. I've had my Current setup since last...

Hey guys! Let me know what you think of my stock list below for tank upgrade 80 or 90 gallon. Please let me know which may be better from the ones I wrote “or” in. Thanks!! Green chromis 3 Clowns 2 Six line 1 Royal gramma 1 Molly Miller blenny 1 Blue spot jawfish 1 Springeri damsel 1...

Hello everyone I upgraded my 200 liter(52 gallon) reef tank to 620 liter(162) tank successfully alhamdulillah am so happy with my new bigger tank I posted my old tank and my new tank I hope everyone likes it

Decided after Christmas break tank was getting too small (or coral were getting too big, or I bought too many!), one of those things! Talked to wife about possibly upgrading, told her we could have more fish (that did the trick). So next day I found a custom 210 gallon tank on Facebook...

Hey guys, I just upgraded my 10 gallon to a 20 gallon innovative marine peninsula. Not sure what kind of start you would call this (if there even is any), but I basically used all the same rock in my 10 gallon (i kept them submerged and oxygenated during transfer) as well as filter media. I do...

I'm upgrading from a 70 gallon tank with canister filter that Ive had going for about a 10 months to a red sea reefer 350 that I got used for a great deal that was about a year old in great condition. My question is though should I use my canister filter that I have on my old tank on the new...

Question: I am transferring my existing 40 gallon reef tank to a 65 gallon and would like to use some of my old sand bed. What is the best way to do this? My plan is to only use the sand which I am able to thoroughly vacuum days beforehand and to ditch the rest. This leaves me with ~80% new sand...

I currently have 2 nano reefs, I am looking at my options as to upgrading at some point in the future and was wondering if anyone had any experience with reefsys tanks. I've been looking online but and am struggling to find much information on them, I'm looking at getting the 255 liter tank...

I unfortunately made the mistake of settling for a lesser than because it was cheaper, and now I am switching to what I wanted, but my question is, will me moving all my rock, ceramic, marine pure, and possibly some of the water cause a cycle in the new tank? I’m moving from a 24g Aquatop that’s...

Hi all! I am upgrading soon to an 80 gallon reef (pending light purchase) from a 10g nano. Current stocking includes 2 occy clowns and 1 bicolour blenny. The concept for my upgraded tank will be a mixed reef and eventually dipping my toe into SPS corals. I want a tank with lots of small/medium...

I have been waiting for my house to be finished, and my wife and I have been shacking up with the parents. I've been making fun of millennials still living with their parents and here we've been doing it for two months now. So, hopefully in the next two weeks, we'll be out. We have the house...
