    Need some equipment advice on starting new reef

    The best way to start a new tank is to buy something already drilled. Having a “reef ready” tank is the most important component. I have drilled a few tanks and I can tell you that I won’t do it again lol I rather buy something that has a sump and drilled over flows. Hang on back over flows...

    Peppermint shrimp eating Favia?

    I wouldn’t blame the shrimp. The shrimp is actually doing its job as part of the cleaner crew. The best way to see what’s going on in your tank is to keep looking at the other corals. If you have a lot of different Coral dying then something is wrong with your tank. I would test everything and...

    Frag/grow out tank

    tanks that are parted out sell faster. If you sell the lights and tank separate and then the pumps and return it will sell faster. It’s very difficult to sell a whole system. Most people on these sites already have a tank setup so maybe they just need a ato or a skimmer. if your goal is to sell...

    Frag/grow out tank

    Setting up multiple tanks makes reefing harder. If you are able to setup one system with a display and a frag tank attached to that system. That is the easiest to maintain.

    Frag/grow out tank

    The best way to get a frag tank is buying a used system from someone. The low boy need to be ordered by the LFS. Ocean gallery on rt 22 get them. I also got one from will at aquatic obsession.

    Importance of Pods

    Pods are part of an ecosystem. The more you add the better your reef will do.

    I think it's healthy to change your mind on things.

    I am a strong believer in water changes. When I had a fresh water tank I would do large water changes. When I had a koi pond I would also do large water changes . when I setup my system the 1sg thing I did was make sure I was able to do water changes easy. This is how I decided to reef. My way...

    Apex Info

    I want to be clear. There is no way I would have a reef tank without a controller. Neptune apex system is not perfect but I can’t imagine not using it. it bad saved my system a few times. I just believe you need to “ Trust but Verify” what apex says

    Corals Anonymous

    Why are you ordering corals online ?? you are surrounded by LFS that sell health corals. you can drive and hand pick your corals. i dont buy coral or fish online. It makes no sense. if I lived in ohio and I didn’t have access to great LFS then maybe. if you don’t want to spend on LFS prices...
