Hello, First SW tank, I have a 20 Gal that was a freshwater and I’m going to convert it to fowlr for the time being. Down the road I would like to add a few easier to keep corals but I need some advice on filtration and in general advice on keeping it as low stress as possible. So right now I...
Hi All!
I am new to saltwater tanks and have purchased a used 29g Coralife Biocube. My plan is to start a reef tank with some suitable fish and softy/LPS corals.
After a month or so of research on forums like R2R (thanks for the help already!), I decided to start a thread on the setup and...
Hello everyone! This forum helped me a lot on deciding where to start and what to buy!!

Hi everyone! I am from middle tennessee/ north of Nashville. My brother and I have maintained 2 fresh water tanks and a salt water for about 3, maybe 4 years now. Thankfully we haven't failed horribly since our first tank.
We currently have an average array of "easy" fish, but the main reason...
I have a 2ft jeweled moray eel, and for the life of me I can not figure out how to clean this tank. Anytime I try to clean it he’s comes out and tries to bite. (even after being fed) does anybody with experience with eels have any idea on how to clean/vacuum safely.
So about 10 days ago I got my first BTA.
I planned to get one later this year and start an anemone tank, but the opportunity came by sooner and I got it on a little bit of an impulse. So I purchased it, got home in the evening and added him into the tank. Watched him a little until it was...
I want to collect stickers from different aquariums, fish, and coral companies to decorate my new tank stand. Even if it not a franded sticker but saltwater related I take it. If you have any or now anyone please direct message me and I will send my address.
Hi everyone!
New to saltwater here and kinda learning along the way! I recently got a JBJ 45G Saltwater tank I'm setting up for the first time and wanted some help on deciding a stock list. I also could really use some advice on the order of adding once I have the tank fully cycled and ready. I...
Hello, im struggling with this doubt.
When you import a program, you set the Overall Intensity, my case at 55%. (Mostly LPS)
Then, when you explore the "created points" by default, you see that each point has different intensity (2nd picture related). So it means that the point reaches 37% of...
Hello all,
Just a quick question to all my fellow reefers, if you had to choose between one of these two products of nitrifying bacteria like if you had no other choice (gun to head type situation...bit extreme but you get my just)..what would it be:

I need some advice on heaters for a new, still cycling, 24 gallon saltwater tank. Right now I have an older Eheim Jager 75w heater, but I'm not sure it will be enough for the tank for winter. You see, I previously lived in the SW United States and never had to use a heater on my saltwater tank...
What one thing tends to bother you the most regarding the saltwater hobby?
For me it’s when someone says that a particular coral is rare, so they can change an outrageous price for it. How do they know it’s rare... do they have a microchip or tag on each one that’s rare so they have an actual...

Has anyone else had an issue with IO Reef Crystals having super high calc?
I had a calc reading of 518 in my tank over the weekend and a fellow reefer on here suggested I mix some fresh SW and test the params, so I did and at 1.026 ppm, Reef Crystals is measuring calc at 522.
Anyone else had...
Hi All,
I've read through leak check advice on reef2reef. Many folks seem to have many different opinions (hey what else is new ?) Some say you should leak test every time you move the tank. Some say leak testing not necessary. Some say leak testing is absolutely necessary. Some say only needed...
