Hello fellow reefers! Round 2 on my 125 gallon mixed reef. I had a mixed reef tank up for about 3 years, then NFHS/NCAA took me away from the hobby due to travel. Well, here I am again, fired my tank back up at the beginning of the year and back at it. Unfortunately, I'm doing this solo now. I...

Since my recent move and tank upgrade I thought I should start a new build thread, because going from a 90 gallon to a 162 gallon with (I think) a 40 gallon sump means I can get a lot more goodies in the tank! :D Okay, wavy dreamy lines as we go back in time. :nuts: I used to have a beautiful...

Hello, I am new to the forums but have been keeping reef tanks/fowlr tanks for the past five years. I recently picked up a 125 gallon tank that was brand new from craigslist for $100 dollars so that was too good of a deal to pass up. So, since I have picked up this tank, I was looking to see...

Good morning fellow reefers! I am curious as to whether or not I am fully stocked or if there is room for another fish or two. Possibly a small puffer. I have a 40 gallon breeder with overflow, 10 gallon sump/refugium setup which was FOWLR intended which has since turned into a "mixed" tank...

hi ive been doing research on which clownfish i want to go with for my aquarium once its up and running and ive had a few contradicting opinions, im interested in either a pair of black clarkii, a pair of pink skunks or a pair of occellaris clowns, ive read online a 30 gallon is the minimum for...

Who when we talk about mixed tank have macro-algae with their coral. Is it more difficult or easier to maintain. I'm thinking of the ideal because i'll have tangs and they used to eat the macro's i use to give them from my refugium. So i see it as a pro what would be the cons.

Hi everyone! I plan on documenting the growth of my two year old mixed reef in here for my own records and for the viewing pleasure of others. The tank is 120 gallons with a 20 gallon sump. This will hopefully be a very picture-heavy thread. Please feel free to ask plenty of questions! Here we go!

Hello, I am new to the hobby. This is my first saltwater tank and I'm going for a mixed reef. It's been set up for about 14 months now. It's a 54 gallon AGA corner with a 20 gallon sump, a coralife 125 super skimmer, a 150 watt led light, and a brs dual reactor for gfo/carbon. I really just want...

Reading some olds posts and been debating if i should set up my display refugium or not. Posted in the think tank but hasn't gotten anything and i am kinda sitting here with a tank in my room. So i have a 60 cube been up and running for a while currently have a lot of lps and softie corals. I...

Ok so i have read a few of the older Think tank posts and learned some things that have gone against what i have previously believed. So bare with me as i explain what is going on in my tank before we have a general discussion. (i think that is how it is suppose to go here?) So i have a 60 cube...

Hey guys, I've had my tank up and running for around 2 years now but I never made a tank diary or journal. I figured better late than never! Live stock: Tons of Kenya Multiple mats of GSP Around 20 heads of green candy cane 7 heads of blue candy cane. Around 15 heads of green and blue...

I had to break down my old tank due to relocating to another state. I sold off all of the old equipment, was a sad day indeed. Well, thanks to another member on these forums, I purchased a tank he no longer had need for. So, I am off on another 75 gallon adventure. This one will be a bare...

The DSR Method (Dutch Synthetic Reefing) what is that ? To answer that question you need to know the story behind it's development. with the RT staff consent I will be explaining how it got started and what it can mean for you the reefers who are curious enough to read about it this is my tank...

About six months ago I started having tips burn on my SPS. I clipped them back and for a month or so it looked like I was on my way to recovery. I had just changed salt batches, so at the time I chalked it up as a salt issue. Now five months later I have a tank full of dead SPS. During this...

hi! so I went to get frag glue at my lfs today and fell in love with the banded pipefish there. Reading online, it says they are expert only. If I bought pods, can I dump the whole live bag in the tank and will they thrive? Has anyone ever bought a bag of live pods and dumped them in once a...

Hi there, thanks for reading. I found a really cool feature on the profile setting, that shows you every thread you started. It is like a reef tank soap opera. Its pretty neat. Reading it, I started to remember having anemones and why it didn't work. I recently found an awesome new coral only...
