Hi all, I'm in the market for 2x75G vertical water tanks. Shipping is very expensive and I wonder if people have had luck buying them locally from a farm supply store? I tried a couple from the Norwesco's authorized distributor list but they aren't interested in getting that tank or they are...

I am currently using 3 food grade grey brute trash cans to store RO/DI, RO, and saltwater. They were brand new, scrubbed with vinegar, then rinsed with an ungodly amount of RO/DI. They store water very well for a week, then start to develop an odor. It’s hard to describe it but it smells like...

I’m subscribed to some forums and while I get emails for threads I’m specifically watching, I only get site alerts for new threads. Is there a trick to get emailed for every new thread in addition to standard alerts? I missed someone’s tank move and I feel bad because they helped me move mine.

Hi all! I have received a 225G tank from CDA and would like to put it on its stand. It is 72x30x24. I'm borrowing the suction cups from the club and I should have them by next weekend. The stand is in the office with heavy-duty felt pads underneath. The tank is in its crate in the garage. The...

Hi all, I have a new CDA 225G tank + stand coming in a couple weeks. How do people get them moved? My plan is to move everything in the middle of my office so I can do the build, then disconnect everything and move it to its final place (and reconnect the unions). I understand I'll need suction...

Hi all, I finally got the permission to upgrade from a 40G breeder to a 180G (72x24x24) reef tank. I'm pretty excited but I'm hitting a wall trying to procure such a tank. For the tank itself, I'm thinking about the following: - 180G 72x24x24 RIMLESS - Starfire 3/4" glass front and sides -...

Hi everyone, I setup a QT and tried to do everything right but 2 clown fish died within 2 days. I have the full thread with logs and details on r2r https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/2-new-clownfish-died-24-48-hours-what-am-i-doing-wrong.526431/ I'm posting here in case someone local has any...

Where do you get your fish? I'm setting up a new tank and started thinking about livestock. Since I'm looking for common beginner fish (Clownfish, Chromis, Goby, Firefish, etc), I hope I won't have to resort to shopping online. I plan to quarantine my fish for 4-6 weeks with Prazipro and Copper...

Hi all, Happy to have found this forum. I keep freshwater fish and always had an itch for a marine aquarium. The PetCo $/gal sale was the catalyst for me and I bought a 40B display tank and a 29G sump. I'm in no hurry to get the tank started and I enjoy doing some DIY things. I've read a lot on...

Hi, I'm looking at getting into the reefing hobby after keeping a freshwater fish. I've watched the 52 weeks of reefing series twice and I have a general idea of what I want. I am thinking a 120 gallon tank would be great since it has a 48" length and a great amount of volume. While I can find...
