Well its time i start to document my build, ill try to make it short and sweet. As i write this i am on day 2 of cycling. But will include details from weeks prior.
Day 1: Getting the tank
So first started with actually getting the tank in the mail and assembling the stand, as we can see i...
Hello All,
Looking for some options on this aquascape.
1. Does it look ok?
2. Do you see any potential problems with the way it is set up?
Trying to figure out the best way to do this.
Hello Everyone,
I have been keeping freshwater fish for the better part of 10 years. However, I have finally decided to jump into the saltwater aquarium realm, as I have a spare 29-gallon fish tank. I have been watching all of the BRStv guides and reading multiple builds on Reef2reef. However...
Greetings and salutations. I’m starting this build thread after being here for several years without one.
My previous RS 750 (V1) almost ended with catastrophic results at the end of 2023, but I caught the issue in time. After much research, I decided on a Waterbox 330.7 to fill the niche in...
Hello all, I am new to R2R. I wanted to share my waterbox that I got about 6 months ago. The tank was already running for about two years before I moved it to my house. Since then I haven’t done a lot too it just maintained it. This winter I’ve had sometime to make it my own, I bought 2 assorted...
I'm back in!
Hi all...I recently took a trip to Maldives and realized I miss having my own reef so I have decided to come back to the hobby. My first venture into saltwater/reef tank was back in 2017- 2019 and I had an AIO Biocube 32. I loved it and was perfect for me at the time. In 2020...
Hey everybody, I recently moved across the country and as such tore down most of my setups, after selling off stuff, I finally got my reduced stocklist and put everything into a single lifeguard 24, I love that thing, it's my first AIO I've ever done and the second smallest tank I've done
Well...
Hey everyone, the 525 XL I ordered over Black Friday will be getting delivered this week! I have an existing 75 gal, but other than the lighting and fish this build will be from scratch.
Already purchased:
Maxspect 4K Gyre pump
AI Nero 3 (will be purchasing a 2nd)
Vector S2 return pump
48” T5...
Morning Friends,
Today I start my R2R journey as I build the perfect little reef for my home office. I am of course talking about the Eshopps Deskmate 4.8 gallon aquarium.
Alright, I may have not been 100% truthful, but I didn’t lie. I’m starting the R2R documentation of my tank build, the...
Excited to be moving up from only having nanos to a bigger tank. Lurked here awhile an have learned a ton from this community but only recently made an account. We jumped on a waterbox during a sale and are very happy so far! The tank is beautiful!
Planning to do a predominantly LPS tank (Acans, Blastos, Goni, Euphyllia). Will potentially add SPS in the future depending on if I can get sufficient par without bleaching out the LPS.
I plan to add a few goni on the flat floating shelf to the top right. Euphyllia will be lower middle, and...
HELLO EVERYONE I've been working on this one for a while now and not sure what equipment I need to make it work. For right now it's going to be FOWLR
but eventually I would like to add some corals when i get more experience. I've been in the hobby for 6yrs freshwater only. Now I want to try...
Hi R2R!
This will be a thread for my new 25-gallon IM lagoon, from beggining to end, but first a little backstory.
For some time, I was gearing up to move from my first 32g reef to a larger 140g system. I started by gearing up during the pandemic, just getting everything I needed upfront and...
Hello R2R! Thought I'd create a build thread for my first ever reef tank. I purchased the Waterbox 15 Peninsula AIO tank. Plan for softies and LPS, plus some fish and inverts. I've had fresh water tanks before, but always been too daunted to switch to salt water. I decided to take the leap and...
First ever saltwater tank and I am loving it! Picked up my tank a few months ago and so far so good! I have been making changes here and there to the tank and trying to upgrade all the stock equipment(recommendation much appreciated!). So far for the third chamber I removed first box and the...
Hi everybody I have a question hope someone can help me with. So I’m recently just getting back into the hobby with an Innovative Marine nuvo 15 tank. It’s cycled going on 3 weeks with two clowns…but I recently had the opportunity to get the innovative Marine nuvo 20 tank an impulse buy and...
I need help…
Hired a LFS to help with my set up and it has been all sorts of disaster. I’ve had all sorts of leaks, noise issues, responsive issues, and they seem to be going fast/modifying things on the fly from what we had originally planned.
I live in the Kansas City area.
Only say this...
Starting to set up a new frag tank. Ordered a 75 gallon 60"x24"x10" acrylic tank from Advanced Acrylics to plumb into existing frag system. I've got a 20 long and 40 breeder connected to a common sump. I will connect this into the same sump so I can control all the tanks with one set of apex...
Hello everyone,
I am starting a 310g mixed reef tank.
If anyone would like to give suggestions I’d greatly appreciate it.
Looking for the best companies/ideas for aqua scape. I really like the all white reef rock look.
Also would love suggestions on equipment. Eventually will do a full apex...
Hi everyone,
since this is my first post (other than introductions), just tell me if anything goes against the usual conventions or manners :)
I have everything together now after some pretty intensive research, but need some help with the actual reef design and appropriate stocking...
Hello Everyone , I did a thread search and couldn’t find the answer to this question specifically for the im nuvo 40
I am new to marine tanks (15 years experience in freshwater off and on) but this is my first saltwater tank. I am setting up this IM Nuvo 40 and I am wondering what I should put...
