Sharing your build thread could help your Secret Santa with ideas! Post a link to yours here!

Santa Claus · Nov 17, 2021

Ho! Ho! Ho! While we're still working on getting everything set for our name draw, I want to remind all of you that checking out your gift recipient's build thread is a great way to get ideas for them! It helps to know more about their reef, but also about who they are as a person. So, I got to thinking that once names are drawn, it might help if we had a thread where people had shared links to their build threads!

So, do us a favor! Help your Secret Santa out and post up a link to your build thread! If you don't have one yet, today is a great day to start one! Here are our member tank forums where you could post yours! CLICK HERE!

The amount of confusion someone will get in mine is almost worth the price of admission to watch.

Build Thread - Lost in the RedSea... but building soon anyway

Hello all, I am normally outside running on trails and competing on obstacle courses, but radiation and chemo have taken a hefty toll over the last year. I have slowed tremendously and I have been looking for a great hobby that is challenging but with a lot less running. I have had a number of...

Large Build - Hydrored's 300 Glass Cages Build

Hello, I currently have a 210 Planet Aquarium tank that was installed in May of 2020, the tank will need to be moved temporarily so I figured I might as well upgrade to the largest tank my wife would allow. The target for the tank will be around the end of October to early November. The tank...

Build Thread - WaboSS's 40 Breeder Build!

Been silly busy lately, but figured it's time for a quick update. ATS has been doing it's job, so I'm happy with it. It's still pulling a good bit of slimy crap but that's to be expected with how high my nitrates were (pic below). The display itself is doing pretty well. I've removed some of...

I will be merging tanks — I think the 40B is cursed. But it's a fun read.

Build Thread - kittenbritches' Reefing Journey

Update: Once I added a HOB refugium to my sumpless 40B, it was game over. The tank started leaking within a week because the extra weight pulled the tank too far out of level. As such, I upgraded to a Red Sea Reefer 250. If you'd like to start there, click here. If you'd like to read through my...

Build Thread - How Will My Noo-Psyches Grow? (RETIRED)

How Will My Noo-Psyches Grow? I won two Noo-Psyche K7 V3 140 Watt LEDs in a giveaway on R2R and was asked to record my coral growth over a two-month period, updating this thread week-over-week in that time. This presented a unique opportunity, as I was planning to set up a 40-gallon breeder...

Build Thread - In-wall/Behind-wall, 180g peninsula, with a basement fish closet

New Year, New Tank! My current tank is a Red Sea Reefer 350. And while it’s a good tank, a 6ft tank is even better. I’ve wanted to go bigger for some time but holding off because I wasn’t sure where to put it. Until one day, it hit me, do an in-wall/behind-wall, 180 peninsula, with a basement...

Build Thread - My ULM Office Tank- Nuvo 30L

This is my second tank. I've wanted a tank in my office for some time but scared away by some hurtles. I had several concerns about an office tank; 1. Water changes- I will not be able to have an RODI system at work so all water has be brought from my house. 2. Testing and Dosing- I will not be...

Ok had to go look it up as I haven't posted in it since early October. Hey the tanks been up for over 5 years. The "build" thread has been "built" a long time ago. lol

Cube Build - Homers 80G Started on RC

So I've been a member here for quite a while now, and since I no longer visit RC, I figured I would move my build thread over to here..... Or rather restart my build thread. Since my tank is basically built and has been for several years now, I suppose this is just a place for me to dump my...
