After 5 years in the hobby I've decided to upgrade to a larger aquarium. I have had my ups and downs in reef keeping over the last 5 years and I have learned a lot along the way. I decided to go all out and make this tank exactly how I want it. This will be an all SPS tank. I'm still in the...

Hello MR, i joined this forum to initially buy a tank, and secondly to find some cool corals some of you fraggers are growing! I am starting this thread as a slow documentation of the build and progress of the tank. I am new to reef keeping, and am going low tech/budget on this 20g. We have a...

So I have been out of the hobby of reef keeping for about three years. I am currently selling off my African Cichlids and getting back into the hobby. I have a 150G with 40g sump. Will be looking for lights, powerheads and skimmer for sure. Missed my reef and just had to get back into it!

Well I tore down my tank three years ago when I moved and never say it back up. So in the last few days I have been setting it back up. It is almost back together, I just have to set the pellet reactor, and the auto top off back up. I guess I need to read up on the latest technology. I'm sure...

Ok this is kinda just a rant. Don't get me wrong I love that my family and friends are willing to support my hobby but sometimes getting them to understand why I am not over the moon when I just started stocking a new tank and they surprise me with a tang is hard. I am absolutely thrilled my...

I want to preface this by saying that I truly do enjoy this site. MR is my home base; the first place I come to seek answers, interact with other reefers, and the information on this site is what I follow above all other info out there. There's just this one thing... The General "Reef...

Hello, My name is John, my wife Kathie, and we are new to reef keeping ! Although we are now both retired, this is her first experience with aquaria of an kind! I kept them, both fresh, and salt from the late 60s thru the early 80s ! Then life got in the way, as it does with many hobbies, and i...

Hello! I'm a new member here and I was just wondering if there was any one left? I'd love to interact with other reefers in the area. I'm just getting back into saltwater and hope to make a reef tank out of it when it is ready. :)

Greetings! I'm completely new to reef keeping, I had a 120G FOWLR tank about 7 years ago so I'm not completely new to SW. Recently I sold a couple FW setups, then I purchased a 33G cube tank from a friend of mine here... So that is currently what I'm working on, and starting out with...

I have a 60g cube that I want to setup and get back into reef keeping. Want to do LED's on this tank, also need a hang-on protein skimmer. Also would like good powerheads like Vortech's. I also would like to find a hang on Overflow and put a sump on it. If you have anything I need please...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows of any fragging demonstrations going on anywhere in the area or If someone can show me how to frag stuff like zoanthids and polyps, because I want to start getting into fragging and want to do it right. Let me know if anyone has something going on...

Since there is such a huge trend in creating flashy common names for zoanthids these days, I'm interested in what others think about it. Is there any benefit of this to the hobbiest at all? Or is all the benefit strictly enjoyed by the merchants? And why the common names at all? Are we just...

How cool would this be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $1200 a month in electric bills MSN Entertainment -

I have read a few reviews on Pier 701 ( most of them a few years old) I have found out that you either love them or hate them. I am here to say I love them. I have only been in the saltwater hobby for about 8 months. They have never steered me wrong since going to them. I know that I have a...

Looking for some insight on whether to switch over from instant ocean to reef crystals. I keep softies and lps and I'm thinking it might reduce some of the other dosing work to switch. Thoughts?

Looking for reefers near allendale/Grand Rapids who would let me have the old water from your water changes as close to the time of the water change as possible. Need the bacteria to add to my tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now that I am out of the hobby and trying to get down to one bookshelf ... the reef keeping books have to go. $50 takes them all ... even the coveted Anthoy Calfo Book of Coral Propagation.
