upgrade

Greetings! I have an established 37 gallon reef tank that recently had an outbreak of dinoflagellates (Ostreopsis). Unfortunately, the tank also has a seal that is going bad (developing some larger bubbles), and so I'm using these circumstances as an opportunity to upgrade to a larger 130.4...

So this past Friday (January 31st), I came home from work to find some water on the floor around my 16 gallon Biocube. I looked, and sure enough there was a leak. The next day, I bought some aquarium silicone sealant and bought a 29 gallon tank from Petco along with a cheap 30 gallon HOB filter...

Hello all! Recently I've noticed that my current tank has started to get air in the silicone seals and I figured that maybe a tank upgrade would be appropriate. I want to do things right this time. I am going to be upgrading from an IM Nuvo 20 to a Lagoon 25. Since I did not have enough pictures...

Hello all, I have a Nuvo Fusion 20 that has started to get air in the silicone seals in various spots around the tank. The tank itself is about 4 years old and has seen many different tank scapes and environment types. I was looking at switching it out with another tank, but I am unsure if I...

Hey all I’m looking for a led light for my 13.5, right now I’m debating between the ai prime with a gooseneck and the kessil tuna blue, but without buying a controller. Are these my best options? I’m growing pretty easy corals from Duncan favia zoas hammer and may eventually want to grab an...

Hi guys. 4 days ago I upgraded from a 50 litre tank to a 96 litre. New sand bed, old rock + a new piece of live rock, 25 L of old water and the rest new water. I transferred my clownfish and coral over. I have lost a xenia and possibly losing my GSP frag. My clownfish are acting normal and...

Has anyone upgraded from their default skimmer in the Red Sea MaxE-260? Mine just isn’t consistent. The tank has a behind the back sump so the skimmer would have to have a small foot print.

Hello everyone. I am planning to upgrade my 29g to a larger system in the next 6 months. I started small to make sure that I had time enough to devote to the hobby and to make sure I enjoyed it. I am looking at either the IM Nuvo Int or Ext series (50 or 75). I see one has an external overflow...

Hello! So, I've actually got a 10 gallon set up with a single false perc, a few coral, an RFA, and a few inverts. I enjoy the tank, but I'd actually like to introduce a second clown, and I feel as if a pair of false percs deserves a bit more space than a 10 can provide (long-term). So, even...

So, I ventured into that wonderful world of tank upgrades. I upgraded from my 70g cadlights II tank to a Waterbox 5226 peninsula. I'll be the first to say that it was quite challenging and took me nearly all day to do it. I found myself worrying and stressing during the whole process. But...

I am upgrading my whole sump area with a new sump, compact theiling rollermat, might do a uv sterilizer, and a new pump. I pretty much have everything picked out other than the pump. I do love the idea of a DC pump to where I can turn up or down the flow based on what I am seeing and they use...

Hey, I have had this Recife Eco AIO for about a year now and am growing more and more frustrated with the small sump in the back. Is there a way for me to incorporate a sump on this tank (without breaking it down) rather easy? Money isn't really an issue, and the only reason I am not simply...

Hi all Been meaning to start this pool for a while... So I have a 90 gallon system with sump running for a couple of years, and my wife and I really enjoy it. The only problem is that I would love to spend much more time on it but I just can't. That can be noticed by how the rocks are not...

Hi folks! I picked up two old AI Hydra 1st Gen recently for cheap because Royal Blue channel doesnt work, so I decided to find out if I could repair it. After several tests, find that the problem is the burned out LED, so I have to replace them. I will need some XT-E Royal Blue LEDs, where...

Its time to upgrade my chiller and I've been using an AquaEuro for some time. I'm also getting an APEX EL. While shopping I notice AquaEuro has 2 versions of their chillers. The typical chiller and an APEX chiller. The apex chiller seems to be a stronger build but I also assumed it had...

SO I HAVE HAD THIS 55 gallon for over year and half before I had this I had a 25 gallon. But I found a 125 gallon for an Unbelievable price so I had to get it. And wife approved but I’m torn on what to do. Do I take all the livestock and live rock out put it in quarantine buckets for a couple...

So my 125 has had numerous lights over it, starting with MH that came with it (along with a huge power bill). Then not knowing any better (but originally running a FOWLR tank) using cheap marineland LEDs from PetSmart. Then MarsAqua black box LEDs and now finally, one of the last upgrades, Hydra...

I have a 20 gallon tank with the aquaneon filter, I want to upgrade and am looking for a cheap upgrade anyone have any suggestions? My tank isnt a reef tank it doesnt have any corals.

I posted a similar thread a while back, but since then my budget has increased. I am looking for suggestions for lights to go over my reef tank. I am trying to create a mixed reef, but I would like to grow SPS and acros so I know I need a higher powered light source for that. Black box less...

Hey everyone! It's finally time for me to upgrade my 50-gallon mixed reef. I want a tank big enough for my yellow tang when he gets bigger, and also for my powder blue tang. I have a budget of about 2 Grand and I was wondering what tank I should get. I really like the all-in-one designs, and I...
