Hey All - Have some cycling questions. I have a Waterbox 20 cube setup and have been cycling for almost two weeks.
For some background, I am using CaribSea live sand (used good amount of liquid from bag), dry rock and Imagitarium pre-mixed saltwater (will phase this out once I get RODI filter)...
So I guess I will start with how I ended up starting my first reef tank. It's kinda ironic really.....
I have been in the aquarium hobby for over 20 years. I started a 75 gallon African Cichlid tank way back then and it's become a self sustaining colony and it's still going strong today...

I figured I would start a build thread to document my dream tank build so here we go!
I currently have an IM Nuvo Fusion 40g, have had several reef tanks over the last 10+ years, even bred clownfish for a while - at one point I had 23 20g tanks in my garage hooked up to a 250g sump :) I...
Hey all, as the title says i’m looking to find some website to find the waterbox’s 65.4 All In One tank. It’s been out of stock on their home website for a bit, and i dont know if there are any other sites that would potentially have them in stock. I’m not sure if this should really go in the...
Hey guys. I'm in deep conflict looking at a few systems in the 120-140 gallon range between Cade, RedSea, Waterbox, and MODE.
I need to hear from MODE 135G owners and your experience. Please chime in!!!
Thanks for any input you can lend.
I finally got back into the REEF keeping hobby after a 10 years hiatus. I had both saltwater and freshwater tanks starting in 1980 until in 2011 I lost my business, got a new job and did not have the money or time to continue the hobby so I sold off my 15 year old reef cube aquarium.
This past...

I had a nano reef Biocube 14 gallon back in college but now that I am settled (& have more cash) I am getting back into the hobby! I am by no means an expert so all constructive criticism and advise is welcome. There isn't much material out there regarding the Waterbox 50.3...
Hello,
I am looking into setting up a Waterbox AIO 50.3. The only spot it works in my house is in my home office which has a brand new low pile carpet. Of course I want to make sure this tank is stable. Any recommendations? I was thinking putting some plywood or foam between the stand and the...
Hi all. Long time member (I think I joined right around when R2R started or took off years ago) but got out of the hobby for about 6 years and now I am back! I don't see many build threads for the PM 15 (mostly the 25) so thought I'd share my journey here. This post will be a bit behind...

Ok, my time as come to start by build thread. I've been watching @Tonycass12 @Arcu2 @FrontRangeReefer Marine X 60.2 threads, but probably time to start mine. Just to document progress, ask questions and contribute my own experience for others. No ETA for the tank yet, but hopefully soon. This...
Hi guys, went to LFS and they had just got this in-store was told its a green leather finger. But looks a bit different to what I thought was a leather finger. Or obviously not a specialist on them.
Or is it just that. A leather finger? Size of a small hand. Looks great in the tank.
Hello everyone! I know some of you follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/reefer_nyc/ or my Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPlx8rEhnJSsmH3EMlBzeJA and wanted to start a thread on my upgrade process! So I've been in this hobby for easily over 15 years and relatively kept my tanks...
Hey R2R family! I made this thread so I could document and share the struggles and successes of a newbie in setting up a new reef tank. I’ve had lots of smaller freshwater tanks in the past, but was completely naive to saltwater builds. In advance of closing on my new house in November 2020, I...

Hi there. So I’m jumping into the hobby again. Got my first taste around 2014 on a whim. Back then I didn’t realize the pit this hobby is and quit shortly after. This time, a little better prepared, I’m looking forward to building something as beautiful as some of the reef tanks I’ve seen on...
Hello reef2reef community! Thank you for clicking and helping me out with this problem. I currently have a naso tang and a purple tang which seems to have gotten ich. The naso tang came from liveaquaria so I believed that they have already quarantined the fish for parasites and chose not to do a...
I have seen numerous videos / opinions that say remove the filter sock and run floss or a 3 tier chamber in the intake.
I have seen some recommend a small refugium in the center with bio media.
My LFS today said use the sock and fill the center with bio media......
I am about to start my...
