Added some new inhabitants this weekend. I picked up a pair of baby occelaris clowns from Neptune Aquatics and added a few frags from the CFM. For corals I got 3 zoas (pink diamond, utter chaos, purple monster), 3 acans (don’t know the names of the specific variants), and a green hammer...

I definitely am inclined to keep the rocks I do have in the aquarium as is. The tank is full of life even though it’s only 2 weeks old. I’ve identified so many good hitchhikers already on them, I’d hate to give that up. As for the extra rocks, if anyone wants them knowing they do have pest...

Here is a picture of the rocks: I took a minute to research these, and one is definitely Aiptasia based on its behavior of retracting into a crevice when poked. The others I can't tell if they're Majano or something similar. Here is a not-great picture: I haven't seen any on the rocks I am...

I have 2 extra pieces of live rock that are each about 10”x6”x5” that I don’t need for my tank start. They are cycled and have life on them, including potentially some hitchhiking anemones that I don’t know enough about to ID, so use caution. Per the original terms of the PIF offering they are...

Not really sure yet. I probably have more rock in there than I need. Once I get the 10 gallon up I’ll move some over and it should free up some space for corals.

Firing up my first reef tank after purchasing a setup from @Turkeysammich. It’s an IM 25 AIO modified with an external overflow to a sump, a 10g auxiliary rimless display and enough complexities for future add-ons to keep me learning for a while. Just setup the 25g and sump for now, the 10g...

I have my new tank up and running and thanks to a jumpstart of live rock it’s testing as nearly cycled already. Pending water tests tomorrow I might be ready to add fish soon, so if one of these pairs is still available, I’d be interested!

That’s right, I don’t have any equipment yet. I’ve been watching the buy/sell/trade forums here for a few days. I have my eye on a custom setup @Turkeysammich listed a little while back, but if there are items you’re looking to pass on I’d definitely be interested.

Hey there! I’m new to reefing, but stumbled across BAR while researching all the various things to learn about this hobby. I am planning a relatively small system, probably in the 20–30 gallon range for the display. I’m leaning away from an AIO because I want a setup with some room for...
