Reef and Marine Fish Forum

I've been meaning to start a tank thread since the birth of this tank in January,

I initially took a trip out to Burscough with the plan of ordering one of the red sea reefer tanks as a replacement for my old and tired 4 foot tank, whilst there I noticed an eareef tank Steve had on display so with many ££ spent we went away to await delivery of our new eaReefPro1500s, and a few other goodies.
The original plan was to put it in the dining room but Amanda decided it would be best in the...

Hello,

I've been reading the getting started guide, http://www.thesaltybox.com/forum/help-and-advice/110278-setting-marine-tank-basics.html, ( for about the millionth time! ) and just have a few quesitons. This is probably impatience as i'm just starting a tank for the first time but i can't necessarily see an obvious answer so thought i'd ask.

So, if my ammonia and nitrite levels are zero is there anything else to wait for before adding a clean up crew? I've read some things...

Hi chaps

Need advise please. lost my coral beauty last Friday which was really unexpected as he seemed fine Thursday night. Then I lost my yellow tang on Monday and now 1 of my chromis had died. Had the water checked and all is fine so I'm baffled. Worried now for the rest of my fish.

Hi saltys.....just after people's opinions really. Over the last 4 weeks I've lost nearly all my fish from what I believe to be velvet.

Within 10 days Id lost carribean blue tang,purple Tang,algae blenny,Midas blenny,royal gramma,both clowns,kole tang,chalk goby and scooter blenny. Remaining fishare yellow Tang,flame angel,yellow/banana wrasse and female peacock wrasse all of which have...

Hi everyone,

Very new to marines (6 months) and have a small tank that was converted to marine before I bought it. Now long story short time, it was on a cartridge filter but I've made a sump and it was only when talking to George at Reefloat that he said I will be needing an overflow box (which I haven't got or even knew about). I must give a big thank you to George, I phoned to to buy a top up unit from him and he said he wouldn't sell me one just yet as I needed to sort out the...

Morning fellas/ladies
I recently purchased new radions and I love them...my new headache is that I run a maxspect gyre 150 on my system and was looking at getting another and putting them on a smart controller BUT since setting radions up and reeflink I'm tempted by 2 x mp40qd instead and having full control of lights and flow via the app. What would you guys run and why? Got few sps colonies and mainly lps at the minute. Gyre looks more pleasing to the eye and does shift water but can be...

Been trolling through the internet looking for a way of monitoring my ph accurately, I'm colour deficient and have always had trouble in confidently reading test kit results. Does anyone use/could recommend a reasonably priced pen or meter please, thanks.
