reef tank

So I finally pulled the trigger on my upgrade a couple of weeks back! Going from 75 deepblue to an SCA 150. The dimensions at the price point was a no brainer. Have been working on this build for some time now and thought might as well document the process. Will be posting some pics, enjoy!

Hello, So 4 months ago I had a bad marine velvet outbreak which I lost 70% of my fish. The remaining that survived I treated them witch copper for 30 days and left my DT fishless for 80 days. So now I am buying new fish every two weeks. I already bought a coral beauty, pair of clowns and some...

This is my first actual reef tank over a year old and established, had many LRFO tanks before this. It wouldn’t let me do a 4K upload on here ‍♀️ enjoy !

Is epoxy resin safe in our aquariums? Is there a certain brand or type that is safe? I see a lot of cool resin projects done. It would be interesting to know if we could use this inside of our aquariums safely.

Ill be out of the hobby for a while. I will be upating prices as I learn them. Please, serious buyers only, i can't deliver pickup only. UPDATE!!! $3450 if you take everything at once. Old school Reefers know the value, wont last, and I wont hold without a deposit. Thank you for your time. 1x...

I made this for my IM 20 gallon reef tank. All the plumbing is internal besides the incoming and outgoing from the bottom. Comes in from the main recirculating pump in the sump and goes out from the 2 exit ports into the display.

I have had this 5g reef tank set up for about 2 years now and im honestly loving the results im getting from it. Just thought i’d show it off :) Its a AJ-40 with a colbalt mini MJ (i think 404) in the back. The light I use is a Kessil A80 set at 100% blue. I don’t run any carbon or dose any...

Everything says to hatch the eggs first then add the live brine a little at a time as food. But what if I want a constant food supply for picky fish. Can I add eggs directly to the tank so they can pick them off as they hatch? I’m thinking of wrasses and filefish in particular.

So we've been going for about 5 months...this is my first saltwater/reef tank. I have to many fish number one but two of the dang things were hiding so we'll we thought they died. So I now do water checks every other day to make sure I'm in parameters. We have 2 clowns, one fire, one...

I have a red mangrove in my reef tank and I am looking for a light to buy for the plant itself. I found this one on amazon, do you think this one is the right type of lighting or should I look for something else. Suggestions on mangrove lights are welcomed and appreciated. thanks!

I’ve been in the feeding hobby since I was 16. While most kids begged for a puppy I somehow convinced my parents to buy a 75 gallon saltwater tank instead. You might say that tank was a failure, but I fell in love with the hobby during those two years of heartache and frustration. 2 years ago I...

Adding my Build thread for my 650 ish Gallon tank it’s 8’ long x 4’ wide x 3’ tall built to be a 360 view Aquarium and a Dream tank but also my first tank. decided to upgrade though to a 1400 gallon tank with a fish room connected to it, stay tuned for the Build thread for that.

I thought i would do a build thread on my 130l juwel tank, to show there are many ways to keep coral. Buts its all about stability. I got my tank from a close friend of mine for free. When it was first set up at mine and my wifes place it looked like this 5 years ago. After waiting 6 months we...

Hey guys. I have a biocube 32 led. The only fish I have are a 2ft-ish long engineer goby and a 3” long four stripe damsel. I want to add a royal gramma. My question is will the gramma be ok with those two or will he bully/get bullied? My engineer is a sweetheart named kashima but Oswald (my...

Well I originally got CaribSea Hawaiian black live sand for my tank when I started 7 months back. Between parts of the sand sticking to my magnetic cleaners and scratching my glass and the creeping suspicion it is leeching metals into my tank, I want to change out the sand completely. It's...

I can't get a decent picture of them for the life of me because you can really only see it with the blues on, but I've started noticing orange (almost looks rust colored) spots along the back wall of my tank. Anybody have any idea what it could be or if anyone else has had this? It's only on...

Hey everyone! So I have a RedSea max250 AIO reef tank and the skimmer won’t stop over skimming with lots of bubbles.. I’ve done about everything I can think of to try and fix it but it just wont stop over bubbling/ skimming ? Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this..

So I have a little over 6 month post cycled JBJ45 cube I've been thinking about adding a new member to. This is a mixed reef tank, so would need to be reef safe. So far I have: A pair of Clowns Randall's Goby w/ a pistol shrimp Purple Firefish Bicolor Blenny I've thought about a captive...

Hello all, this is my first post on this forum over the past 8 weeks I have been setting up my reef tank with my LFS and everything was going pretty well until yesterday. Cycled water for 4-5 weeks then added a black and white clownfish followed by a yellow clown goby a week or so later. Fast...

Hey y'all! So I just discovered a new hitchhiker in my reef community tank. This hitchhiker resides in a live rock I've had since mid-February of this year (2 mths). I am having a hard time identifying it. I have included a video I took today...
