Hii!! New here and new to aquariums. Background is marine science with emphasis on microbiology and water quality. Decided to get a tank on a whim over an adorable starfish I didn’t want to leave behind. Guy at PETCO (I know, I’m learning) helped set me up and said it *should* be okay to keep...

Hello everyone, Picked up this peninsula drop off tonight and would like some suggestions on upgrades for it. Any input is highly appreciated. Also post pictures of your drop offs as well. Would like to see some scapes and what lights everyone is using. Thanks

I have a 13 gallon mixed reef in my office at work. Everything is flourishing and I test the water every 2 days to stay on top of it. But I was wanting to add a monitor system so that I could monitor it on weekends, holidays and vacation days and cut out some of my routine testing. I’m new to...

Hi all, I will use this space to share some pics from my 32g mixed reef work-in-progress tank! May I introduce you Don Peppo. And his friends Tama&Duncan Don Peppo gets easily annoyed when someone visits his house. Second name, Bilbo

Before I dive into this thread, I want to give @noopsyche a big shout out for my brand new NooPsyche K7 V3! I was looking to upgrade the lighting on my 20 gallon and just so happened to be one of three lucky winners of this fixture. Very grateful! Anyways, here goes… The Tank My tank is an...

This actually happened in December. I wanted to just create a thread for it just for me to be able to look back on it. I will be updating it this weekend. The picture attached is when the Innovative Marine 30L was delivered. Prior to that we had a WB PM Mini 15G. It got crowded real quick and...

Hello and welcome to my build thread for my 3.3L Pico Reef tank. I started the build in January 2022. The tank is a 3.3L AIO Acrylic tank that you build yourself. Its made by a company called PTank. The tank is lazer cut into acrylic and comes in flat pack form which you then have to cement...

Hii I’m new here. Mostly looking for advise on growing my corals. I have a 29 gallon tank that I started in November 2019. This is my 2nd go on a saltwater tank. My first attempt was about 7 years ago with a 90 gallon that turned out to be too much for me. This time around is much more...

Hi everyone! I’m new here hoping to connect with people and learn new things. Share my nano tank.

Hello R2R! I'm a newbie around here and about to set up a nano tank of 43 liters. I researched and asked many people around, but everyone said different things. Firstly, I could not decide on the capacity of the return pump. If I choose 1000 LPH, it means it turns 43 liters for 23 times in one...

After breaking down my old setup that had been running strong for 4 years the best decision was to part ways with everything that needed life support. I kept most of my dry goods and am finally starting my first build thread. So join me on my journey or let us call it round 2 of this IM Nuvo 20s...

Hi all, I have a 20 gallon nano mixed reef tank and am looking to get another fish to add to the crew. Currently, I have two ocellaris clownfish, a fire goby, and a royal gramma basslet. The clownfish are the biggest (shocker) and are very good with the goby and royal gramma, but can bully the...

I'm overjoyed with my progress this weekend on my aquascape, I feel it makes the tank look a little bigger than it is (lifegard 8.3 AIO). Was also surprised to see my new light get delivered on a Sunday. Just waiting for my custom lid from Kraken Lids and I'm ready to go.

This is my 3 gallon cube that has been up and running for almost a year now. It runs on 3 items. A top fin HOB filter, a coralife light capable of supporting soft corals, and a small heater.

About a month ago I pulled out the old saltwater Aquarium equipment and decided to give it another go. First time ended bad due to my move into my new home. Good thing I won't need to worry about hiding my tanks from my apt leasing staff. I just reached stability. I've only added a pair of...

Hello, I just recently setup my first saltwater tank (ive had freshwater before), it is a 13.5 sea evo. My ph was awfully low at around 7.3 so I decided to buy something that supposedly would raise the ph (seachem marine buffer said it would put it to around 8.3) so I just used it about 10 mins...

Hello, I'm just looking for some input on dosing Phytoplankton alongside NoPox (N03-P04-X) each day? Trying to simplify my routine before I go on vacation so its easier for the interim caretakers. I don't think it would be an issue to dose at the same time but I'm just looking some reassurance...

Hello, I'm looking for some advice for my new Nano tank lighting settings. The light is a Fluval Nano Marine 3.0 LED over a 13 Gal nano reef tank. Keeping mostly soft corals and one brain coral. Any advice is appreciated :) Thanks!

Running a Reef Glass nano skimmer that utilizes a limewood airstone. It actually pulls out some incredible gunk......when it works. Here's my issue and I am running out of ideas. The skimmer will bubble fine for awhile, then you'll see all the bubble stop, a second or so later a huge surge of...

I’m a brand new aquarist & for my first tank I’m starting with a 16 Gallon BioCube. I’m from Indiana and have been diving once a year in the Bahamas for 30 years. Finally, I can bring the ocean to me! I realize that salt is harder, but since I’m limited to just 1 tank, I decided to jump into...

Hi! This my introduction post. Keegan at my local LFS said that this is the place to learn about reefing, so I joined! He has a small farm and has become somewhat of a mentor, which eases my worries a bit. I’m a brand new aquarist & for my first tank I’m starting with a 16 Gallon BioCube. My...

So i purchased a few corals the other day. Im very new to reefing and i have a 13.5g nano set up for my room. The shop i got them from was very informative although I seem to have forgotten what he said the name of this coral was can you guys help me please? So i remember him telling me about...

Hello i am new to the reefing hobby. And i have recently added 3 of my first corals to my tank. I was told what they were and i remember two but this 3rd one i can not remember what the guy told me it was and well i kinda didnt want to have ti go back to the shop today just to ask. Perhaps i...

I'd like to preface this by saying that I'm a DIYer at heart and I enjoy that process. I'm sure that much of what you see here could have been avoided by going with a small AIO tank, but I wanted to do something different. We'll see if this backfires as it's my first reef tank, but fingers...

Hello Reefers! Yet another Fluval Evo build here for all of you! I got into this hobby just over a year ago during a long lockdown YouTube session where I somehow ended up in the saltwater recommended videos. After watching for hours I was hooked and wanted to gather as much information as...
