Hello folks! Its been about 3 years since I've set up a true nano tank but decided to take the plunge and get back into it today. I had a Fluval 5 gallon I wasn't using for much so I grabbed some aragonite, about 5 lbs of live rock and some pre-mixed saltwater. Luckily I found an extra powerhead...

Hello all, It's been about 3 years since I've had an aquarium setup so I'm very excited to begin this build. I've got a small corner in my house that will be perfect for a planted tank. After some research, I settled on the Fluval Spec V for my tank. I liked this tank due to the all-in-one...

Hey guys its been awhile since my last post. Life is busy now that I'm just about to graduate college. Still have my 8 gallon nano setup and really enjoying it. I've kept this tank pretty simple and most of the corals are softies. I have since added an external filter that I'm using as a...

Wow it feel like a long time since I've posted a thread on here! Still I try to read up on what others are doing when I have the time. My Aqueon 8 nano reef is still doing well!

Hello everyone! Due to getting some inspiration from others on here setting up their new aqueon reefs I've decided to set one up myself! It's been a while since I've set up a brand new tank so I'm pretty excited. I decided to go with the 8 gallon so I could temporarily house my clownfish until I...

Well I've had it! I don't know if its just Monday or if I've really had it but I'm done fighting hair algae! I've tried everything! (Phosphate remover, RODI water, added a refugium full of chaeto). Nothing has worked! So I've decided to play hard ball. I'm going to completely disassemble my 10...

Hello all! I've got a question regarding my plans to install a hang-on refugium on my 10 gallon nano reef. My refugium has already been ordered and is on the way. It will install on the side of my tank where water from my system will be pumped into the refugium where I plan on having 3...

Hey guys I came across an interesting article online about a dealer that used acclimated saltwater mollies to help control hair algae. Has anyone ever used this technique or heard of it before? I'd really be interested to know if this is a viable means of reducing hair algae in my tank.

Hey everybody! So I've had my 10 gallon nano reef set up for about a month now and so far everything has been going great. All the corals and fish seem very happy.

Looking for any type of zoanthid coral frags to help stock my 10 gallon nano tank. Let me know what you got!

Hey all, just thought I'd share a few pics from my 10 gallon nano. Picked up some new zoas, another Xenia and a metallic mushroom. Unfortunately my purple Xenia has slumped quite a bit - cant figure it out as he was fine yesterday. Hoping he will bounce back as water params checked out fine...

Hey guys I've got a 4 gallon pico reef tank that is filtered using a water pump that returns the water to the tank using a small nozzle that resembles a power head. Somewhere along the return of the water back to the tank, air is entering the line allowing for lots of micro bubbles to be...

Hello everyone! I am new to this site but not new to the fish keeping hobby. I have kept both freshwater and saltwater tanks for years. That being said I am relatively new to the whole nano saltwater idea and have finally decided to set up a small tank in hopes of creating a desktop reef tank...
