Build Thread - 44 gallon Corner Tank

Started in February 2020 with dry rock. We decided to go with that to avoid introducing any pests or a Mantis Shrimp (even though I kind of want one in it's own small tank). We recommend having a piece of acrylic instead of the lid that domes with this tank, original lid is rather annoying...

Build Thread - 60 Gallon Anemone Cube Build

So I went to trade in some coral at one of my LFS and got a decent amount of credit. While there I noticed a Marineland 60 Gallon tank sitting there. I inquired and one of the employees told me that I was for a show a couple years back and has been sitting in a warehouse since then. Only wet for...

Nano Build - 38G Bowfront - my slice of the ocean

Hey Reef2Reef! Thought I would start my tank build thread to document how my tank progresses and to hopefully get any good tips along the way! This is my first ever reef tank and so far it has completely sucked me in. I'll start with the equipment I'm running: 38G bowfront tank (marineland I...

29G Glowing Reef -> 75G Mixed Reef -> 180G SPS/Mixed Reef Build!

Time for an update! I received the CUC from reefcleaners and everything looks great! I noticed the corals at the front are not getting much light after using a par meter, so I moved the lights forward by adding a piece of wood to the wall with a trim around it. It actually looks much better than...

Build Thread - Tankenstein: The Build

Disclaimer: Prior to March 2020, I had ZERO experience with a marine tank. I have made sooooo many mistakes along the way so I'm going to include those in this thread as well. Maybe someone else can learn from my trial and error. Recalling and documenting the last 4 months is going to...

Cube Build - KC's 60g Cube

Whelp I found a smoking deal on a 60g cube and decided it was time to get a reef started again. So I am in the Army and have moved 9 times in the last 11 years, not very conducive to reef-keeping. I just got orders to a new duty station in California (Vandenberg AFB) and I am all but certain I...

Build Thread - Reefy nano!

IME it’s normal. Mine were undetectable for a long time until I started dosing NO3 and PO4 to battle dinos. Phosphates can bind up in live rock until the rock basically has no more room, at which point it will release back into the water column and show up on tests. Try to keep your nutrient...

Build Thread - First Tank Starting to Crawl

Right now my "build" is in the acquisition phase because, as everyone knows, the hobby isn't cheap! That being said we are gathering parts for it bit by bit. The tank is going to be a 40 gallon breeder with fish, softies, and LPS. New to the hobby (and the forum), so any advice is welcome!
