Hey guys I stared this tank on march 23 not gonna lie I've only check the water one time since it's been up how does it look everyone's opinion I've did three water changes since it's been running haven't lost one fish or coral
Hey guys! Need a little help… I was doing my weekend maintenance and checked my parameters… nitrates are reading 0. I tested twice with a Red Sea test to make sure and got 0 both times. Everything seems happy right now but I want to get them up so avoid any future issues. Only thing I can think to do is increase feedings and maybe switch my filter sock changes from twice a week to once? Would that be the safest, gradual way to handle it? I used to feed twice a day pellets and seaweed pellets, and coral food/mysis twice a week, but I tended to be a heavy feeder and fed them once a day generously, then still the coral/mysis twice a week. Thoughts?
(10 months )= 1 crash at 4months due to lack of water change no husbandry at all + 6months of water change 30% every2 weeks + coral hauls 🤑🤑 (soon to dose all for reef ) need more corals too ….. saving up for Reefapalooza New York 2026 in June !!!!!!
How often is everyone else testing? I test every Sunday morning before my lights go on. I also do a 10 %water change religiously every Sunday. These numbers are tropic Marin pro reef salt with 7 ml of soda ash mixed with 4 gallons of water for my weekly water change to bring my alk up to around 9. I also dose 2.5 ml twice a week of potassium and 3ml daily of all for reef.
6 days away and found that my gluing couldn’t stand up to the plum sized trochus/bulldozer in my tank. Think they’ll come back? Also will take any tips people have to ensure they stick this time, I’ve got 11 days away coming up that’s making me nervous
Any tips on how I could get my tank to looking like before I bought it. I’m six years old so I’m kind of new reefing but I understand all the basics. And pretty much everything there is to know. Just don’t know how to go about it.
Anyone have some tips to maintain calcium? I’m having some trouble with it averaging between 399 and 540…other levels have been good. I was dosing weekly Nano part A and B, but quit to kind of monitor things and didn’t see much of a change. I’m great with my water changes, do 15-20% every weekend.
Just bought this 120 gallon tank comes with everything. Going to use my coral blade light and use the old rock and sand. How many gallons and how often should I do water changes on it? Any recommendations or ideas would be great. Going from a 40g to this is a big change for me

I apologize if you are experience very slow speeds on ReefBay. We’ve been growing quite a lot recently. I will be upgrading the servers tonight ✌️
