water

Hello everyone! I need to buy more saltwater but fear I may be misinformed on the topic. A while back I was told to stay weary of Instant Ocean as they market it for lower levels (salinity?) than necessary and therefore their packages make less water than advertised. Absolutely no idea if...

All my other corals are doing great! Everything was tested a couple days ago. We also did a water change not too long ago as well. All the water parameters are where we want them to be. I have done my research on the frogspawn and I do have him in a good location in the tank. I have tested...

Hello everyone, I recently got a new 15 gallon tank and I want to know if I can use the old tank water from my established 40 gallon. Is there any problem regarding using old water?

Hi, There is a need for me to make a new Fish Tank as quickly as possible for a small showcase in an exhibition. I already have my own Cycled Tank, I want to simply take the water from that Cycled Tank (when doing water changes) , including the fish, Coral and Live Rocks and place them into the...

Hey guys! I'm sure this question has been asked and discussed here. I have a 2 month old 60 gallon rock only aquarium. 2 clowns and a yellow coris wrasse. Everything with the tank is going great. I do water changes about once every 3 to 4 weeks. About 5 days ago, the water has gotten cloudy and...

Hey all, I have an like brand new Neptune Trident for sale. I used this for 3 weeks to make sure the parameters were correct. I had a Trident before this one and it was always off. This one is perfect and was very consistent. As you can see in the photos, it's basically new. No salt in the...

Tank: Fluval Sea Evo 13.5 Hello Everyone!:smiling-face-with-sunglasses: I am just starting and looking at my first weekly water cycle in 2 days since the addition of my two clownfish and two corals (Xenia and Zoas). I realize that my only knowledge regarding my water is to change 20% every...

Hello R2R Community, I am having the strangest experience with my RODI system. This system has been in place for 2-3 years and was running decently before this behavior began. The system is an AquaticLife 4 stage 75GPD twist in unit and it ran great for two years, feeding a smaller 2.5g...

Hi guys, This is my first post ever :oops: sorry for any dumb questions! I am new to Reef World and I've started my first cycle in a blue marine 30g tank with a back AIO sump. I've bought the Red Sea Mature Starter Kit and I've been following the day-by-day guide. Right now I am on Day 10...

I have a Red Sea Led 50 in perfect condition. Shipping is Free The mounting kit is included.

Hi everyone. I am new to salt water aquariums, having had several fresh waters for many years. I purchased the Waterbox 15 gallon peninsula AIO tank and am doing my research on water now. I live in an apartment and do not have the ability to drill countertops, water pipes, etc. or alter plumbing...

I was thinking of buying a 1000L water tank that could fit on my trailer. I've been doing a lot of fishing with friends recently and have started to notice that as the tide is coming to its highest point, the water is much clearer, especially the closer I get to open Sea as opposed to a Bay. I...

So I found this at petsmart and is closer than LFS an hour away to get water. I’ve been using to supply my ATO for about a month and I notice a bacterial bloom and possible infection in fish. Is this ok to be using in place of RODI water.

Hello! I've recently purchased my third tank, a 30 gallon, and I'd love to set it up as saltwater. (My other two are freshwater.) I've been digging through the research, but I'd really appreciate some outside perspective and advice. My biggest hurdle, right now, is deciding on water. I've seen...

I been trying to find RO water for my IORC mix and Im unsure if this would be ok to use its ro but added minerals pic attached

Hello All, I have two in excellent working condition wavemakers. They come with everything you need and are cleaned up. Ready to be used. I had two on my 125 running at mid-level, and it was very powerful. These are perfect in the wavemaker world. I can do trades or buy each for $50 or both for...

Hey, I’ve had a diatom outbreak recently but fixed it, it was all because of my water. But there were diatoms all over it and I haven’t been able to get them off even with picking them off I cannot get them. And I’m not sure what to do because it has not opened up in a while, I’ve never actually...

Hey everyone, I am hoping that one of you has experienced something similar and can give me some clarification. I am looking at getting an RO/DI filter to start making my own water, those trips to and from the fish store are getting old already. My only concern is that I have well water at my...

Good news, dinos are fought back. Bad news, water is very cloudy. So I have a 90 gallon aquarium that started with dry rock and dry sand. Super low nutrients. I didn't know that was a dinos recipe. I did a 3 day blackout (no corals no fish) just inverts. My fish are at my lfs for medicine...

My 65g rodi container just in the past month has started to smell a little funky whenever I go to fill up a bucket of rodi water. Kind of a fishy smell is how I’d describe it. Figure it’s time to empty it out and give it a cleaning. How do you guys clean yours? Take a pressure washer to it...

When I turned flow oftoday to feed acans, I noticed a slick film on the surface and a few bubbles caught under it. It’s a bit harder to notice with the flow on. I have both return bills and wavemaker pointed at surface for agitation and a Nero 3 on the way. Is this normal ?

Hello, I am very new to reefing and taking my time to learn while also giving myself time to get the right equipment. to start off, I got the red sea reefer tank second hand, 170litre display and a 30 litre sump. For the first while I’m going to use premixed water but I can’t figure out how...

Personally, I've been siphoning out around 10 to 15 gallons of my 90 gal tank into buckets, dump them in bathtub, then AC pump it back in to the display. Doing this obviously causes my tank to become cloudy, disrupt my sand bed, and stress my inhabitants. What do you guys do to lessen the...

Here's a long one. Please any info helps I'll attach pictures of my setup So I might have a leak. Last night about 4 cups of water went missing in about 4 hours. Before this happened, my last recorded salinity was 1.025. And My tank has glass lids that cover the entire top AND a canopy so...
