New reefer
My son brought home a 90 gallon acrylic tank and we set it up with fish, corals and live rock. We are newbies and learning how to do all of it. Our son is going to reef meetings while in college and has done tons of reading and research on what to do. Our tank is really nice and we enjoy it immensely and are looking forward to adding a few more and watching it grow.

New to Marine Aquariums
Hello! I have a few years experience with planted FW tank and figured I'd give a marine aquarium a go.
Currently Setup 50G tank (just started cycling) 30lbs of cleaned dry rock 20 lbs of fully cured live rock from my LFS 40 lbs of sand + 5 lbs of crushed coral 2 100W heaters, 6 T5 HO lamps, ATO, and power heads hooked up to a reefkeeper and I'm hoping to add a skimmer and stock with cleanup inverts after the cycle is done Eventually I would like a clownfish pair, 1-2 compatable fish and if I don't mess anything up too badly, corals by spring. I may add a sump if I find some extra time but my apartment and stand are pretty small so I plan to just buy a lot of test kits. |

We've started a 120 gallon tank, its in its 2nd week can't wait to start adding fish and corals.

Hi all
Hello all. I will be asking many questions from everyone on here as I am new to the marine aquarium hobby. I have had as many as 6 freshwater tanks running at once, ranging from 5 gallon fry tank to a 125 gallon show tank. I currently have a 55 gallon bowfront that I have set up with a CPR Bak Pak2 and a SEIO 530 powerhead.

Hi, my name is Noah i am new to the hobby (no tank/setup yet) still in the researching stage but will potentially be able to start relatively soon considering i started lurking around here in '07 off and on. I still have not decided what size of tank to start with as i will be moving towards the end of 2015 from Norfolk to Ga (navy) and thought i would introduce myself.

Hello all... I have been in the hobby for quite a few years but have neglected to join the community because I am shy... "If you know me that's a joke"
Any hew... I recently purchases a custom made 150 gallon "deep" tank and am in the process of setting it up with a DIY led system from Rapid LED. Thank you all for having me and I am looking forward to posting the ups and downs of my new tank. |

Hello Everyone,
My name is Ricky and I am new to the hobby. I have had tanks in the past and have really enjoyed them and I always admire the saltwater tanks whenever I see them. I currently live in a small home so a larger tank was something I have not been able to do but I am moving to a much larger home and a reef tank is on my list of things I want for the new house. I live in a rural area just outside of Phoenix and I honestly don't know where to get a reef ready tank. Is anyone able to direct to me someplace either in phoenix or online where I can get a reef ready tank. I am thinking 55g-90g's. I am thinking that will be give me the most bang for my budget. I will probably build it slowly until its all together. Until then, I hope to spend some time on here and learn as much as I can. Thanks! |

Hello fellow salty fans, My name is Chris and have been keeping fresh water fish for about 4 years now and always wanted to take the salt water plunge. I have a 55 gallon freshwater and have a 220 gallon reef tank build in process. It is very exciting to be getting close to get the new "Big" tank wet. I have the plumbing left to tackle and the aquascaping etc. I have looked at this forum many time and have already gotten a lot of ideas etc from all the knowledge here. Look forward to chatting with you all about this exciting hobby.

Starting from Scratch
I have inherited a 60 gallon tank with live rock, 4 fish, 2 shrimp, 2 snails, no gear and a lot of algae. I know nothing about saltwater. This is a rescue project; some of the fish are 8 years old. I move the tank, the fish, the rocks and the saltwater.
I added 3 hermit crabs for the algae. Should I add more? I bought an overflow box from Eshopps. I'm using a bucket for a sump and a Petco pump. I've ordered an Eheim 2215 filter. Should I get a sump or a wet dry filter? Do I need a protein skimmer for a 60 gallon tank? What else do I need to do? I want these fish to be healthy and add a few more in time. Any advice will be helpful. |

Hello everyone. My name is Josh and I've only been doing this for about 3 1/2 months.
I currently own a 46g bow front fowlr tabnk. I have 2 platinum clowns, 3 assorted damsels, to emeral crabs, white cake urchin, cleaner shrimp and various cleaner crew snails. I got the tank from my sister for about $200 with all the fish in if, no inverts. She had it running for probably 6 months. When we transferred everything she used the same water and substrate with live rock. Everything is doing fine however my hair algae problem persists regardless of 20% water changes, negotiating my lighting times, ensuring the fish eat all the food they're given, and checking parameters. It still persists. Hopefully here soon I'll be able to write up exactly what's going on and what I'm doing to stop the growth. Right now I'm late for work. Thanks for having me.

Howdy folks! Your online community and infinite knowledge got me to sign up. Recently ( approx eight months ago ) I came into possession of an old current 12gal nano reef setup. I upgraded to a current led marine fixture and a saucier skimmer and thanks to everyone here it's going beautifully. See photos I think I'm going to attach. I may or may not have a few questions coming I'm the next few days including; if anyone uses live rock only as a bio filter in their tank and what really is the best way and how often should I be checking my water. Cheers mates and thanks for having me!!!
