Looking for advice! Bought a used IM 120 gallon AIO tank from LFS. When we got tank, the inside glass was a bit foggy. LFS said fog would go away with water. We added water and things seemed ok until we turned lights on. Fog is definitely still there. This pic seems like where previous owner had his nori clip. Tried scraping it a bit. Nothing seemed to change.
Wondering if anyone knows how to clean it. Tank is newly cycled and I added fish from a smaller tank. Could move the fish back to smaller tank if I need to empty the 120. It would suck, but it will only get harder given more time.
So anyone have tricks to help? Either with water or without? Thanks yall!
Hello community, I’m new here, crossing over from Freshwater🫣. Got me the Hello Reef 15g AIO, then decided I needed two more 5gs to balance out my pico tank shelves- each tank has a stocking plan, but we’ll see how it all pans out. Currently each are somewhere between 3-7 days into cycling with live sand and rock, dosed with Dr. Tim’s ammonia and either Dr. Tim’s or Fritz 9 live bacteria. Hoping to add first inverts by June! I plan to get each tank set up on an ATO soon- I was looking at Fzone as an affordable solution for these smaller tanks. What do ya’ll think?
Guys I need some help on where I should put my corals I’m not the best at placement and I need to make sure these places will be comfortable for my corals . Current setup and I think it’s suitable LMk (I know bubble coral is stressed and deflated I’m currently working on to help it inflate)
Getting an anemone tomorrow from a friend looking at where a good starting placement would be. Obviously I know they move just talking about where to initially place it. Any recommendations?
Hi. I have an issue with high calcium in my nano tank. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations on how to reduce it? Or should I just leave it alone?
Looking for advice! We just set up a second smaller tank (60gl) and now cannot decide what to put in it. We originally had plans to do a seahorse tank but after research, have decided NOT to go that direction.
We have 125g setup now with more peaceful fish. One option is to relocate all my small fish into the smaller tank and then put a snowflake eel into the 125 with my blue tang, scopas tang & foxface.
Or build a second stock list in the new tank. Water is cycling now so we have some time to build it out. Suggestions welcome! 😄
Quick AI Prime 16 question for a new reef tank.
No corals yet — just copepods and clean-up crew.
I’m trying to keep the light low to avoid algae, but still make the tank look good.
Thinking:
RB 25 / B 25 / W 5
Everything else 0
5–6 hours/day
Light about 9–11” above the water
Is this a good starting point, or would you run it differently?

Setup rating?
How much would u guys give in a total of 10?
(That one coral on the highest is birdnest sps coral)
(Btw, any suggestion to improve my tank based on the parameters and equipment I updated today?)

Cycling my new tank - I find the waiting the hardest. Nitrites are 0,5ppm and Nitrates are 5ppm.
I still need to get my lights and I’m having a hard time deciding.

Quick question! I need to add a little bit of sand, is it best to add dry sand or live sand?
