New IM 25 Lagoon here! Upgrading from a Marineland Portrait 5gal pico that ran for 3 years. The rock on the back right is from that tank along with the clown, 1 blue leg hermit, and 1 snail. Hoping the existing rock carries enough bacteria that the cycle isn't too crazy and everything goes smoothly. 🙏🏻 CaribSea
Hawaiian Black Arag, AI Prime 16HD, stock return pumps but thinking of going to a AI Axis 40, spin streams on both returns, and a Nero 3 on the right wall. Inkbird temp controller and 50w heater. IM caddy on right chamber with floss and Seachem matrix, left chamber is still a sock but changing to VCA NOSOK when it arrives. I look forward to seeing your tanks! Especially 25 Lagoons! Any advice is appreciated 🙂

Good afternoon reefing fam!
I got a quick question and wanted to know if anyone could help out. Im setting up my 45 gal and I will be running an AI blade with 2 Ati Blue plus t5s for lighting. Does any one have a time schedule for a similar pairing? At the moment it has 2 jbj actinic bulbs in the fixture.
Thanks! Any tips are greatly appreciated 🙏
Finally finished my stands with the help of my buddy and frag tanks are in starting to cycle second frag isn’t in the picture because I was too tired and lazy to take a second picture 😅 thinking of getting a 39” AI blade grow to light up both tanks. Any thoughts or suggestions if that’s the right move?
Fighting another bout of Cyano, not as bad as the first one few weeks ago but still frustrated it came back. This round I’m adding a protein skimmer this week and also starting to question upgrading my wavemaker. I seem to be getting some dead spots despite changing the wavemaker positions so not sure if I need something stronger? I have a 1500gph Hygger DC, and considering upgrading to an AI Nero 3, which is what I initially wanted but hesitated bc of price. Any thoughts?
😍Got my tank in today so beautiful , got Zoey in the quarantine tank with the inverts till things settle down , I ended up not going with AI like I thought I was I really got sold on Nicrew gen 2 100w hyper reef and I did get the nuro 20 instead of the 15 LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!!🔥
Top of the morning reefing community, I will be upgrading my tank to innovative marine 25 lagoon very soon then my light to ai prime 16hd afterwards right before getting some corals , just been going thru the uglies but as soon as it’s done let the beauty begin 😄
New 33g started this weekend. Tank is the Hello Reef AIO. Powered by Aqua Illumination and Innovative Marine.
Hey Everyone. I am upgrading my lights on my Fluval flex 32.5. Is one AI hydra 32 enough, or is two better? Thanks!
I made this custom light to hold my AquaIllumination Hydra Edge 44HD.
Here’s my 24gal Aquatop refuge AIO been running since Jan , two clowns , two green chromis and coral banded shrimp, with conch and assorted snails and hermits , corals include candy canes, hammer, toadstool, gsp , zoas , blue stylo , Duncan’s , acan and mushrooms… all under 1 ai blade grow
Anyone with the AI Blade light, what settings do you use for your corals? I’ve had mine on the Hello Reef template that was recommended with the program, but I’m noticing some browning on the trumpet coral stem and now some area on the favia coral. Did some research and reading that might need more blue lighting.
Upgraded the Coralife Bio cube 16 with an 12" AI Blade and some shades from Printed Reef
