Hi guys, I've been a spectator on the forums for a while now and I finally decided to join the community. I wanted to share my nano reef that I keep in my dorm at school. I'm hoping to upgrade to a bigger tank once I move back home and figure out what my plans are, however, I'm afraid of being...
Hi there fellow reefers!

Hey everyone!
Just to give you a little backstory before I get into the tank. My name is John, I am 15 years old, and I live in Georgia. I got into this hobby a year ago by watching tanks on YouTube and seeing them on the forums. I recently moved to Georgia from NewYork and...
Before I get into the idea of a tank tear down and my plan; let me give a little back story. I bought the Bowes front acrylic tank used. Kept all the same water and sand. I’ve had the tank for approx 1.5 yrs and have done a lot to it. It was just 3 large pieces of rock, a couple fish, and an...

I recently got a 120 gallon corner (pentagon) tank. I built the stand for it and when I got done, the tank didn’t sit flat. There was a gap on the front of the tank between the 2x4 and the tank. I talked to a fellow reefer and he told me to put a thick amount of liquid nails and then put down a...

I recently bought a Red Sea Reefer 350 to upgrade from a 46 gal Bow front. So here is my issue, I want setup my Reefer 350 in the same spot as my current 46 gal Bowfront. What is the best way to do this without losing any fish? Oh and I also bought new sand, so the old sand will go in trash...
Can anyone enlighten me on what this is and/or a cause? First time I’ve ever noticed it. White/greyish film at the water’s surface. If I gently place a paper towel on the surface, it soaks much of it up and I can’t see as much from looking below. In the picture, the white lines circle where the...
Hi everyone,
In about 8 months my girlfriend and I will be upgrading our 180 to around a 400-500 reef and in doing research I was curious about peoples experiences / opinions on two manufacturers we have narrowed it down to for now (open to others).
