I used pool filter sand it's about 6 bucks for each 50# bag, just be sure to wash it good.

Hi Tina I'm somewhat new to saltwater myself, albiet I was into it for a few years quite sometime ago I do recall some and have picked up on alot more since this time around. At any rate from what I've researched, hydrometers can be very inacuarate. Refractometer's are supposed to be much more reliable, I picked one up for $17, you can find them on eBay, amazon, etc...

Hi everyone, I am new to keeping reef tanks and new to this forum, I was wondering what the best bran of nano aquarium would be and if it said available in Australia. I have been really looking into the coralife biocube 29 but have heard mixed things about having a lid with the led lighting. Thankyou

Coralife came out with a new led 32 Gallon Biocube with a built in 24 hour programmable timer with a 30 minute sunrise/sunset and 60 minute moonrise/moonset features. And it's still comparable with all Coralife accessories.
From what I've seen in my area (Miami, FL) the lfs only supply the new 16 & 32 G models. You might only find a 29g used as I did.
I don't know if they are available in Australia though as I live in the United States.

Hi all. I hail from Modesto California and I am new to the salt water hobby after having multiple freshwater tanks since 2005. Currently we cycled a 60 gallon tank with a marine land 360 canister inappropriate heater with no live rock and fish only. Recently, I'm struggling with crypto I have and lost all of my stock including powder blue tang, emperor, flame angel and two clowns. We started this tank to educate ourselves and then plan on transferring our stock to 120 gallon next year but did not realize we needed or we're going to have to battle this parasite so fiercely.
Remaining fish in my tank is rabbit fish (fox face) and he can turn used to struggle with the parasite off and on. Just purchased UV sterilizer, 13 W aquatop. Thank you for your site.
In the last three weeks that I've been dealing with parasite, I have had much education.Learning by trial and error has not been often on but the knowledge is really helping:headwally:Learning by trial and error has not been often on but the knowledge is really helping:headwally: I am finally passed the extreme frustration stage where I wanted to put my tank in garage:uzi:I am finally passed the extreme frustration stage where I wanted to put my tank in garage:uzi:

Hi everyone - I'm new to saltwater tanks, though I have been keeping and breeding freshwater fish for a while. I'm not really doing a reef tank as such - setting up a tank for dwarf seahorses, but I *might* get a 32 gal biocube and try some clowns as well. Currently have three freshwater tanks, but very excited to start in the marine hobby!

Welcome. I've been keeping a reef tank for a year now, after keeping freshwater tanks on and off most of my life. My next planned build is a seahorse tank as well. Which tank are you looking at, I'm trying to decide between the Fluval 10 gallon, and the 15 gallon their supposted to have out later this summer. It has all the equipment needed in the kit. Filtration, lights, are all marine rated. I'm also planning to include a couple of trumpet fish in that tank.

Hi all, and Help!
Hi all, and Help!
Hi everyone! Love Reef Central, lots of great info...
It's been 20+ years since my last Reef setup and I am now back into the hobby.
Looking for some help.
I recently setup a 65-Gal with a sump under (Bio Balls and Bio Plate) and a Sicce 3.5 return pump with hard plumbing between the Tank and Sump. Eshopps Eclipse S overflow and a couple of Jebao PP4's.
Everything went well cycling the tank (Live Sand) and some fish were added. So, I'm about two months along and now I have what looks like what I think are micro bubbles in the tank. I checked the water level in the sump and all is okay. And the water in the sump seems to be clear. I have the PP4's set on the lowest flow setting and I dialed in the flow between the tank and the sump but the bubbles, or at least I think they are still there. They are really tiny and look like snow blowing around, and they don't seem to be blowing out of the return. I don't as yet have a skimmer so ruled that out as a culprit. And as a precaution I added a couple of activated carbon bags in the sump. It's now a week later and no better. Thoughts anyone?

To be able to help you we'll need some ideal of what your questions are. Do you want a large tank, or a nano(small) nano? You can start really small, 3 to 5 gallons is considered a desktop size, or you can go to the other end of the spectrum, 100 + gallons. All fish, or fish and corals, or even all corals.
So, let us know where we can help you, and you will find the help you're looking for.

Hello all. My wife and I are extremely new to aquariums and we just started our first saltwater tank today. It's a 55 gallon and We originally wanted a fish only tank. We currently have decorations and fake plants in there right now. But as we research more and more we are thinking live rock and coral. Hope to learn a lot here.

Hello everyone!
My name is Brian, and I really appreciate the Reef Central forum. I had a successful 60 gal saltwater tank 25 years ago (when our babies came along it was too hard to keep). I had a sump in the basement, and I built my own skimmer out of 4" conduit and a 2# plastic pretzel jug. So, now I'm starting a 29g Biocube and going through posts to get opinions of accessories to use. The one problem I'm having is that there are lots of abbreviations... I'll go through other posts to see if someone spells it out, most of the time to no avail. I even checked to see if there was a post explaining abbreviations. Can someone create an abbreviation list... it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,:headwally::headwally: Brian

Welcome back to saltwater aquariums Brian. I know a lot of people are going equipment overboard for nano tanks, but for my nano(40 gallons),I'm using a canister filter/pump. I'm not using a protein skimmer, even though I have both fish, and corals. I am using the largest blower made for my size tank, pointed up at the surface of the water. It's keeping the oxygen levels up, and eliminating ant skim on the top of the water. One thing you should think about starting first, a quarantine tank, so you can make sure your new fish are healthy, before you put them in your display tank. It can be as small as a 5 gallon tank. You can easily find everything you need to know about QT builds on this forum.

Hi, this is my first journey into salt takes. I had freshwater wish almost 25 years ago and the fish bug has caught up with me.
I bought a 15 gallon cubey that comes complete with filtration, hood, led lights. I've got the tank cycling and I'm waiting for more equipment (ro/do, testing supplies). I have a great aquarium store to help get started. Looking forward to spending some time here.
