Just curious to see how many marine tanks are active on this forum and how they’re all doing? Any new tanks? Old tanks remaining stable?anything good to chat about? My tank is a constant work in progress and an ongoing thread might be fun. Cheers…

My current tank that’s been up and running for a year. First tank I’ve setup since I broke down my 40 breeder in 2015 (?). This tank has been quite the learning experience and I’m happy with how it’s progressed, despite the crashes, nutrient deficiencies, wasted corals, etc etc. This hobby is an...

Hello everyone! Figured I’d (re)introduce myself. Was active back in 2015 +/- with a 40 breeder and now back at it after a decent break. Currently have a Biocube32 set up, but in the process of building a 75 gallon. Been a long time planning and ordering parts, but I almost have everything and...

Hey everyone- a 5 year hiatus has landed me right back into reefing. How many salty fans are on the forum? Would be awesome to start chatting with everyone… I’m in the process of a new tank build and am pretty excited about it. Happy Reefing!

Would love to start a build thread, but can’t seem to not get an error with uploading pics. Any help? Photobucket is not an option for me… thanks!

What brand does everyone use for dosing pumps? Are the Jabao any good, or is a $300 setup worth it?

After a 5 year marine tank hiatus, I’ve decided to start up a 32 gallon Biocube... pretty excited. Here’s my equipment list and plans for everything: Stock lighting AI Nero 3 powerhead Jager 150w heater (chamber 1) InTank media basket (chamber 2) InTank fuge with JBJ nano fuge light with...

Only noticed it because I accidentally poked it with a turkey baster as I was clearing some detritus behind some rocks and it started releasing some white stringy stuff... It's the maroon donut looking thing... It is on the base of a wall hammer.

Geoooooo! I think that's what they are... Best way to tackle? Read a lot of extreme action online like tear down a tank and start over. Not really an option lol.

Not getting into numbers, and keeping this an engineering question only, if one were to set up a drip dosing system (no pumps) which one would it be better to use, and why (I don't think there are really any serious pros vs cons but wanted to hear from everyone): 1) an upside down bottle with...

Little help, im getting lots of spray from the water draining into my sump. I decided to make a cover with bulkhead so I can custom the piping a bit and make a split "T" for the water to distribute a bit better. The 2 45's on either side... Should I point them down, out to the side, or up? I...

First got these they were all huge and spread out. They aren't as shriveled as the pictures show (they do open when lights are on) but what is the squiggly stuff coming out of areas? It's not just coming out of the mouth... Parameters are spot on other that what I feel is a slightly low alk...

I have a Taotronic dimmable LED over my 40 breeder. Is this thing ridiculously strong or do I have parameter issues... Just tested 0 ammo and 5-10 nitrate, doing a PWC now. Im running blues on 30% and whites the lowest they'll go. Came home and most corals closed, mushrooms small, zenia...

Anyone else ever hassled by their hermits? I'm always picking up frags getting knocked over, and seeing corals closed from being harassed by them. Considering tossing them in my sump which is holding the resident convict gorilla crab and a couple pounds of liverock. Question is, can the hermits...

I've had success with GFO in a reactor, and phos-gard in a media bag... Question is, due to the complete dislike of mess that GFO creates, can I run the Seachem Phos-gard in a reactor?

I have limited space under a cabinet for a too off reservoir, and would like something like this but without the price tag. Need dimensions around 8" wide x 12" long, not to exceed 13" long.. Any thoughts? I've searched for Tupperware, square buckets, etc and can't seem to find anything... Any...

I have a Deep Blue Series 1 stand, with a 20 gallon sump in it for my 40 breeder. These stands only have 4 - 2" holes drilled in the back to have pipes or cords routed through. The rest is closed off. A lot of humidity is being produced due to lack of ventilation. Should I locate my electrical...

Hello, building a 20 gallon long for my 40 breeder softy/LPS tank. Conceptually, this is what I've come up with (see pic). I'm thinking a 7 1/2" water line, with a Reef octo NWB110, and BRS GFO reactor in the center chamber. I'll be using an Eheim compact plus 3000 return pump. The first set of...

Looks like it is "expanding" on the right side, almost another layer forming outwards... http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b631/benamayer/Mobile%20Uploads/444E6631-8BC4-42C6-B911-96F6AD9473FF_zpsh1paebqs.jpg...

After many struggles, my tank is finally coming around. More pics to come. Please let me know any thoughts to improve. Recently set up a GFO reactor, so don't give me a hard time about the GHA... 8-)...

Got a BRS deluxe reactor with MJ1200 pump. It is below my tank, and when doing a dry run with no media it's putting plenty of flow with the flare nozzle and up and over return. I filled with media and it's not tumbling. At all. There's actually air bubbles trapped in it. I'm using about a half a...
