Hello Everyone! I have been reading posts for days and really enjoying all the good information that I am able to soak in on my journey to my first S/W fish tank! :rotflmao::rotflmao: So I bought a used 75 gal S/W tank, stand, sump (idk size, it's custom and is pretty massive), over flow...

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and also to saltwater aquariums (sticking with FOWLR for now). I have had freshwater for many years now, but I have a new 36 gallon bow front aquarium that I am planning on using to take the plunge into saltwater. So my main question at this moment is...

Hey all I really enjoy The Reef Tank and appreciate the great info and reef banter. I am in the info gathering process of a 50 gal reef build and hope to start purchasing equipment in the next month. ( I already have the tank)This will be my first saltwater tank but have been keeping freshwater...

So i have decided to start a salt water fish tank, i would like it to be a clown tank with an anemone but am a beginner to keeping an aquarium. I have a 55g tank and stand with a marineland filter that i was told would be perfect for this tank. My question is where do i go next? I'm looking to...

When I was younger I had a 55gal freshwater tank. I have not had any fish for several years now, but would like to start a salt water tank. I have A LOT of questions, and need your help! I am starting from scratch here.... 1. What size tank should I get? 55 gal is a little too large for me...

So I feel like my local shop is giving me the business to spend more money! I want to start a reef tank. I know that I need lighting and all that stuff. I am just starting with dry rock and going to cure it. I currently have a 55 gallon tank and a HOB Aquaclear 110 filter. What other stuff do I...

Hello All, Im coming to your forum new and excited. I just moved to Mississippi coming from San Diego Ca. Back home I had a saltwater fish tank and Im looking to get back into hobby. Im trying to find a local person who is selling there tank wand sump. If there is anyone looking to sell their...

So I had a reef tank many years ago, a 29 gallon. I was told it would be difficult, and it was, but I managed to have a beautiful tank! Through a divorce it was broken down and put away. I am now ready to put another one together in our billiards room downstairs. I have opted with a 40 gallon...

We have a fairly large tank at work (250g display, 50g sump) and the current caretaker is leaving for somewhere between a year and forever. I've helped a lot with the tank, especially livestock selection, aesthetics, etc, but I don't really do any of the "work" I guess. You know, just the fun...

Dear The Reef Tank Community, I have got my hands on a lovely 87 gallon display tank at 48"x24"x24" and a 29 gallon Sump at 43"x18"x17". However I am new at Marine fish with my only experience with a 16gallon nano cube, thus I am unsure about the equipment I am about to order. So far I have...

What's the best way to hide equipment in a small tank like my 20g? I want to get myself an internal skimmer, and would like to know if it was possible to hide it without a sump. Is this best accomplished with an overflow box? Or is there something along the lines of a cornerflo-like product I...

This is a partial repost from my intro thread, but since I plan on having plenty of questions, I thought I should probably have my tank listed here. I currently have a 55 gallon tank (48"x12"x20") started in 2013 with a 1-2" live sand bed, 60-70 pounds of live rock, AI SOL Superblues x2, a...

that you have purchased for your tank? Equipment, corals, anything! I'll start. I recently purchased a maxspect gyre xf150 for my 125G reef tank. After about two weeks, everything looks much happier than when I had my two koralia power heads. My corals seem to be flowing more and the fish are...

So the one question I DIDN'T ask is how to add salt on the initial fill of my new tank. It's a 75 gallon with a 55 gallon sump. When the pump truck came today (yep, I'm lazy) we measured full tank and sump at 98 gallons. I added 40 cups of salt in about 45 minutes. As you can imagine, this...

Any one going to make it this weekend to Orlando for Reef A Palooza? I can only make it Sunday. I went last year and it was pretty good...this year it is 3 times the size....

Hi Everyone, I bought what I believe to be a 6 Gallon All-Glass bow front tank from a friend for $10 and turned into a nano reef in my office. I have since taken the tank home and now am looking for a stand and possibly an decorative hood. I do not have high hopes for the hood but I was hoping...
