monster tank

I'm starting to think about powerhead and/or gyres for my redesigned tank and looking for some opinions. My tank is 7 feet long, 3 feet deep, and 5 feet tall. Due to the nature of its design it will be difficult to move powerheads/gyres once it is full. When ran as a freshwater tank I used a...

Hello everyone, I'm Alex, and after 8 years of being involved in the hobby, I'm about to start my largest tank yet. This thread will serve as a diary to document the entire build process and the tank's development. Since I reside in Germany, I'll be doing the same in a German forum and likely...

Well…where to begin… My name is Fabio and I’m a Brazilian aquarist. I’ve been reefing since 2012 and I’m here to show my current tank that started in January 2020. It’s a peninsula tank with 300cm x 100cm x 65cm. (118/39/25 inches). That gives me 1800 liters (almost 480 gallons) to play...

Well, this has been in the planning envisioning stages for about 10 years now, but it should soon be a reality… I hope I started with a Biocube 29 in 2011, then moved up to a 180 gallon in 2013, moved to Colorado in 2017 and did a slight bump to a 220 gallon tank. Recent 220G FTS: I’m mostly...

Hello fellow aquarists, I would to start a thread to post some pictures, videos and maybe answer some questions about our 600g fish only system. We started the tank back in August 20, 2022. Our 90g reef tank was turned into a fish only system to house some fishes we wanted, so we planned and...

I'm listing my 400g Tsunami Aquarium. I don't really want to sell it, however I built a fish room in order to run my side business of marine & freshwater aquaculture. Due to the time constraints with aquaculture I am interested in selling my 400g in order to relieve some of my maintenance time...

I’m starting my official monster tank build thread… I’m just getting going on this, so at this point I’m still deciding on the specific size and the equipment I’ll need. I’ll try to keep this current and detail my thoughts on why I’m choosing the equipment and products that I will be using...

I’m in the process of planning a monster “all predator” FOWLR tank and I’m curious what the group thinks of long swimming space (length) vs. turning space (width) from the *fishes* perspective. This is a quality of life question for the fish. What’s best for them to ensure a happy home and...

Bought from Divers Den when it was tiny and yellow. I felt sorry for it, in photo was beat up and had lympho. No more major lympho out breaks. It has grown into a beautiful fat fish but my tank is too small for it. Tank is 280 gal mixed reef and a peaceful mix of fish. This tang is a...

Hello everybody! This has been almost a year in the making. I have been meaning to do a build thread however I wanted to have a lot done so you can actually view the progress that was made. I am about three months out from having the tank completely finished. The tank is a 450-gallon tank...

Hi All, first post. First of all thanks for accepting me in the forum community. TANK & STAND just in the process to build this reef tank which will be 93” L x 45” W x 31” H. According to vortech water volume calculator it’s around ~540 gallons. Tank is made out of acrylic and stand is from...

Idk much about Angels so sorry if the answer is obvious, but can I mix other Angels with a Regal Angel and if so, what would be the best species. My planned tank is a 525 gallon FOWLR, 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet tall. I’d like a trio of angels.

Hello, Hello and welcome to my newbie fever underwater circus. I'm new to the hobby and got thrown into the deep end (literally) to sink or swim. I did an intro thread here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/new-here-and-likely-in-over-my-head.558578/page-7#post-5915587 Moving over here for...
