FluxRX is the same active ingredient, fluconazole, and it's working great for me. It comes in a powder form rather than a capsule, which makes dosing small tanks a little easier IMO. No loss of any fish, corals, or inverts (I have shrimp and snails too - no deaths/weird behavior), just the...

I see a number of members on here with larger tanks - do you have them on the ground floor? I'm asking because I'm starting to get worried about my planned aquarium upgrade. Right now, I have a 40 gallon breeder freshwater tank set up in my living room with a 16 gallon BioCube reef next to it...

Whoa, those are both some beautiful tanks!

Thanks again! I've been doing a bunch of reading on lights, and I think I've finally settled on one. I really like the idea of the ReeFi Uno 2.0 Pro. It looks like it has much more par compared to the Radion XR15 I was looking at (XR30s are too expensive for me), and added control when...

I'm a beginner, but I can tell you that my first coral was a softie (nepthea tree) and it looked so bad within a week that I nearly threw it out, but I left it in and it gradually adapted to my tank and recovered. Any idea what your phosphate is? Mine was 0, so I started dosing phosphate. I'm...

Thanks, MichaelB! I'm sold on the inkbird + two heaters now, makes sense to me. Something I forgot to mention re:lighting: I have a medical condition where I'm very sensitive to UV/blue spectrum lighting (lupus), and it was suggested to me that I put a shade like the ones made by Printed...

Cool, thanks for the update!

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your taking the time. I think there was a little confusion - I'm looking at the 40 tank rather than the 40L, with the interior dimensions Length 23” Width: 15” Height: 18.89”. Definitely don't want to buy a used tank. My first tank was used and it leaked...

Wow, this is super cool, I hope they continue to grow for you!

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm thinking about upgrading to an IM 40 gallon AIO tank. I've been doing research on equipment to complete the setup, but the choices are a little overwhelming. I've come up with this list, in case anyone wants to offer constructive criticism or roasts of it...

Y'all are very generous. I would really appreciate this if you are sure you don't mind. If we're doing food, I'll definitely make sure to bring something nice

Your tank is beautiful, look at those pics!

I have some extra Hygrophilia, java fern, and Vallisneria, if you want any! Welcome, I'm new to reefs from the freshwater planted world, too.

Please meet Roan, my firefish. I thought she was dead for over a week, before I found her in the pump compartment of my tank (yes, I had already checked there, but I guess she was UNDER the pump itself when I checked). Yes, I have the 3D printed barrier that's supposed to stop them from doing...

Would love to come and talk about aquariums with members! I'm newer though and I don't have frags to share (my corals are still growing in). Is it okay to come and just socialize? I can also bring food if you decide to do that.

Welcome!

Welcome back! I have a BioCube too :) I hope the cleanup crew is going well.

Oh neat, I'll ask him next time I'm at the shop. I live in Oakland and buy my water and livestock there :)

You are certainly talking me out of the Red Sea option. I already had one tank leak scenario (used tank I bought) and that was awful. I couldn't do a 82 gallon setup (with the sump) - I'm trying to stay relatively small and keep water changes simple so that I can continue to use purchased...

LOL yeah, I definitely don't want my tank to pop, but I thought that the ones that were failing were the larger ones. Also, thanks to everyone who replied, I'm looking into the options you mentioned but haven't made any decisions yet.
