So I recently got a whole new set up from a LFS, 120 gallon tank (48x24x24) with a 40 gallon sump. The setup came with a T5 light fixture, 4 bulbs. He said they were newer bulbs designed for corals im not sure the specifics though. Anyway I want to upgrade to LEDs since I like the finer control...

Hello everybody. It's been a few years. Looking back at some of my old threads makes me laugh a little bit. Anyway, I just recently moved into a college dorm. I have a 10 gallon planted tank with me, but I recently bought a 20 gallon long with a stand and canopy and was wondering if I could turn...

:wavey: Hello, Just starting with this. I am two months into my 32 LED Biocube. I love reef aquariums, it has been years, but I used to have multiple tanks. Finally at a place in life I can get back into this wonderful hobby. I added three pics to my album. Feel free to take a look. I look...

Hi everyone. I have had my new tank up for about 4-5 months. I have 3 26 hydra led lights for my 525 xl red sea reefer. I was wondering what your suggestion would be for lighting settings. I am slowly moving the settings up each month. I do add new corals from time to time and i didnt want...

I currently have 3 chinese led fixtures, something like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UMXAR5S/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B00UMXAR5S But I want my lights to be attached to either the side of the tank or the back of the tank and hang from the tank instead of the ceiling. I was...

Greeting folks, my first saltwater tank is now one year old. It has been fun to learn and discovery from day to day in here. Check out the video I took last month. fun reefing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M1sJQKP4D0 Cheers!

So I rented a Seneye PAR meter for a few days. Here are pictures of the readings I got. SBReef at 6” above water level. A new tank which I plan on doing a mixed reef in. Pictures are pretty self explanatory, hopefully you can read my chicken scratch. Pictures are from right to left of the tank...

Hey guys, so I have been wanting to piece together a new reef tank lately and was going to buy everything I need used to save some money. I was looking to setup a 40-55gal display tank with a 20 gallon sump that had a fuge and skimmer in it. Well I was searching around today and found a running...

So I know that Royal Gramma's hide when first introduced to a tank however I added a RG to my 90G a week ago and literally havent seen him once... After acclimation, I dropped him in and he was gone before I could even look. Thought nothing of it, however I havent seen him ONCE since adding a...

My Dad and I are planning a 50-gallon saltwater tank to put in our living room. I'm thinking of getting a dwarf fuzzy lionfish and he wants to get a yellow tang.

The whole idea started with a free 10 gallon fish tank with a screen top given by a kind neighbor. I figured I may spend a $100 bucks and make some use of things from my office, my garage and the cabinet of my current fish tank to make a small garden. So here are the things I found to be used...

Recently my Hydra 26 has been overheating and as a result shutting off periodically. I decided to open it up and clean everything out thinking maybe it was just full of dust. After getting everything back together it overheated again, so once again I tore it apart. This time I noticed that the...

I've been gone from this forum for a long while. I spent a lot of time on here figuring out things for my own tank and getting advice to keep that thing running. There are so many intelligent people on here with years of experience and yet when I asked for help or advice, I got snobby when...

Hi all! It’s been 8 years since my last post! Wow. Anyway, I am cycling/reviving a 10 gallon nano tank (reef) and I noticed that when the ammonia spiked so did the nitrates and the nitrites. But now, the ammonia remains basically the same (0.5ppm), while my nitrites are zero and nitrates are...

Hello, I'm going to be getting my first ever saltwater tank in the next few months and I'm VERY excited! I have kept all types of animals and I have kept multiple difficult freshwater species but I have never kept saltwater fish. My main reason to even get a saltwater tank is corals, I really...

I will shortly be setting up a 90G sumped tank - all equipment has arrived and I'm aiming for it to be a mixed reef with softies, LPS and SPS corals. Now we have all the equipment (just waiting for tank to be delivered as it's being custom built) we are thinking about stocking. I've taken a...

Hello all, We have just added saltwater to our 225 gallon display tank. This tank is an older acrylic tank that we purchased from craigslist and I refinished the viewing panels. (that was a project and 1/2). :nuts: The sump is a trigger sump 40 gallons that I got directly from trigger in...

Hey guys! So my tank is almost 4 months old now and has been doing great. Fish are doing amazing and coral look super. I am getting down to the last of my instant ocean reef crystals and looking for some input. I will probably go with the same salt because it has been working well for me, but...
