85 gallon saltwater tank in place perfectly for 4 months with professional 2 week service. Lost 10 fish in last 10 days including my 2 original clowns. Got the "ick" they say. All water properties perfect.. I mean perfect. Blame last batch of newbies. What have I gotten myself into?

Hello RC,

Im Sebastian, I consider myself a beginner in this hobby as I've only had freshwater tanks. I've had a 6 gallon Fluval Edge Freshwater setup with 3 hatchet fish, 1 neon tetra, 1 albino catfish, 1 upside down catfish for about a year now with no problems. I am very glad I found this forum cause I am thinking of either converting my fluval edge to a saltwater tank, or just buying a bigger tank maybe 16-20gallon which ever is more economic. Since I am a college student so price is important, but I was hoping to learn from what others have done and read as much as possible b4 making any decisions.

Hello Everybody!

I am new to reef central but not new to marine aquariums.
I just set up my 225 gallon. Its been up and running for 4 months.

I have read a ton on this site over the years but never registered.

See you around!

TideReefer · 05/08/2013, 11:30 PM

Hello Reef Central
I am new to saltwater aquairms. My tank is a 75 gallon glass non drilled with overflow to a eshopp 100 reef sump. The sump has a 200 micron mesh filter and reef octopus nwb 150. The return pump is an reefblo hole 850 and two Koralia 1400 for flow. I also am running an BRS Gfo reactor. The tank is 5 weeks old. My lights are two 120 watt Chinese dimmiable LEDs. Bought from a guy who said he has tested them on his Reef tank with sps in the tank (test was at 8 months when I bought them)? I hand dose Dkh and Kent's 2 part daily. What do I need to add/change? I have a bad hair algae problem is there anything I can do? I have no nitrite and 20 ppm nitrate.
Thanks

My name is Ed, purchased a Biocube 29, been running for 3 weeks and love reading these forums, so much info here my head has been spinning and drooling over these large tanks, been searching CL for a good established tank for a fair price

goldfin · 05/11/2013, 07:21 AM

I'm a reborn reefer. Worked up to a 180 gallon back in the day when deep sand beds were in, wound up with an algae problem I couldn't lick, and gave up. I got the bug again recently and started a 90 gallon. I'm amazed at how much the hobby has learned since I left it 8 years ago. Going bare bottom this time and things are starting off very well. Some things I've learned from mistakes: 1) you need to be willing to spend on the areas that count, a good skimmer, good water flow, dosing pumps, an ATO, the lights, and reliable tests, 2) read, read, read -- a hundred small things will come up -- use the search function on RC (oh! I need to wait 20 seconds to see if blue turns back to purple on my calcium test, but shouldn't wait after the initial blue appears on the magnesium test), 3) expect the bad things that happen to everyone else to happen to you, and anticipate what you will do (yes, you really do need to dip your corals rather than just hoping you won't be one of those that wind up with pests), and 4) be precise (parameter fluctuations really do make for bad outcomes, and you need to work hard at consistency in temp, sg, mg, ca, alk). As someone aptly put it here on RC, it helps to have an unhealthy obsessive compulsion for growing colored sticks in water.

Hello everyone my name is Kevin, I have owned and operated an aquarium maintenance and design company for the last 20 years. I figured its about time I join the community.

Tron68 · 05/12/2013, 09:21 AM

Howdy folks,

Had my first reef tank in 2001...a 110g tall show tank( what a pain that tall tank was...but boy did it ever look sweet). Ran that until having to make a long distance move in 2005. Sold everything at that time. I've finally settled down and don't anticipate moving for a while now...so thought I'd jump back in. I'm just in the early stages of setting up a 28g JBJ Nano Cube...the Pro Model with LED lights. Have my system up and running with water and sand in there...now looking at live rock options online (LFS where I live sucks). I am taking this as slow and deliberate as possible, so I make well thought out decisions as I stock the tank. I will be running everything through a Neptune Apex controller, as I travel a fair amount, and want to minimize potential problems when my house sitter is here.

Looking forward to "re-learning" everything, and glad I found this board....I think I will need all the help I can get.

BlindZide · 05/12/2013, 01:11 PM

Hello RC

My name is Trent, I'm 29 and a Communications Technician. I have been married 5 years and was blessed enough to have a 4yr old little girl 9 months after we got married (WTG honey moon am I right?) and I am on my 2nd go round in this hobby.

My tank has been going for a while now and is going strong. Corals and fish are doing well. My first time around in the hobby, tank was wiped by Ich. Nasty little disease. My buddies GF works for the aquarium in Virginia Beach and is a marine biologist so she has been answering some questions I have as well as skimming through this forum and other sites as well. This site has been the most friendly and educational one yet so here I am. I also have 3 local saltwater specialty stores. (lucky me right?)

Build is in my signature. Thanks!

SirSalty · 05/12/2013, 03:06 PM

Hello all-

I'm returning to the hobby after a few decades off. I had my first saltwater tank about 20 years ago and did everything wrong (under gravel filter, lots of damsels, no QT, a tang in a 55g, a HOB 'skilter', etc). Now, with years of freshwater tanks under my belt, the opening of several reef specialty shops in my area, and a great bit more study, I'm back into saltwater with renewed interest (and equipment!).

I've valued input from this and other forums in addition to advice from my LFS's over the past few years and look forward to participating. I've recently upgraded my 37g FOWLR to a 125g Reef and thus far couldn't be happier.

Cheers!

SEEMAC · 05/12/2013, 10:13 PM

I started my first reef tank about 25 years ago...I have always enjoyed taking care of all the different aspects of a reef tank from the proper care and feeding of the fish and corals to the chemistry that is required to properly keep a reef tank. I have been reading posts on reefcentral for about 10 years however I had a different screen name.

parisiot · 05/12/2013, 11:58 PM

Freshie here. Started with a 20. Already bought a 30 and am setting up a sump and getting ready for reefing. 2 clown, fire angel, fire shrimp so far.
Been looking to getting into the hobby for a while.

travstank · 05/13/2013, 03:31 AM

hi everyone im new to RC and will be starting my 130gl saltwater aquarium build soon. im new to saltwater aquariums and look forward to everyones help and advice.. 4-5 yrs ago before i moved to nevada i had two 70gl fresh water tanks that housed two albino tiger oscars and convic cichlids and the other tank housed two red oscars and bob a feedeer gold fish that grew up with my oscars. i gave both tanks away because i didnt want to stress my fish out in a huge move.. its been a long time now and im dying to start another tank. I was given a 130gl glass aquarium with a stand for free.. there was my chance.. we are fixing to move and buy a home so my tank build has to wait until we move into that house... untill then looking forward to doind my homework and viewing the topics on RC.. thanks

jescobar46 · 05/13/2013, 02:07 PM

I have a Biocube 29 that I'm currently setting up! any ideas on what fish to get?

CoralReeForrest · 05/13/2013, 10:25 PM

Hi all! My name is Forrest, im 23 and live in NorCal. My dad has been in the hobby and had a business when I was young. He's now opened and began a new much more intricate aquarium related shop; and a few weeks ago down in sac him and I went to a big aquarium shop to get some new stuff for the shop and he got me hooked. Saltwater seems amazing and coral seems that but tenfold, I'm very excited to begin a new hobby especially one I can bond more with my dad over. I've been researching when I have free time, Sk8tr is a wealth of knowledge and in sure you can expect me to ask for help madam! I have a 54gal (says the 12600 cubic inches) I will be building a sump/refuge probably a 20-30 gal. Will be starting in another few weeks. Currently in the R&D part!

CoralReeForrest · 05/13/2013, 10:30 PM

Hi all, my name is Forrest, I am 23 and live in NorCal. Long story short my dad has been in the hobby a long time and recently opened a shop much more aimed at saltwater. A few weeks back we were in Sacramento and went to a big shop down there, he got me hooked. Saltwater is awesome but coral is what got my attention the most and what I feel I really enjoy. This site, especially Sk8tr, seem to be a huge wealth of knowledge. I am currently in the R&D phase. I enjoy the research that is involved with a new hobby. I have a 54gal (says the 12600 cubic inches) and will be building a sump/fuge and will be thoroughly taking my time. Look forward to becoming a part of this hobby and this forum!!

Welcome! I'm in Sac and at about the same stage you are but with a smaller tank.

OC6 · 05/14/2013, 08:38 AM

Hey reefers! I am coming back into the hobby after a 4 break. I plan to get a nano for the kids with easy softies like zoa's and Ricordias. Undecided on fish yet. Reading up it seems things have slightly changed and new equipment galore. Lets see how long we stick with just a nano, lol.

oceanlife83 · 05/14/2013, 12:31 PM

Hi reef central, My name is Eric. I have been in the saltwater/ marine for about 6 months. I had freshwater before for about a year. I have a 29 gallon FOWLR and am in the middle of building up a 55 gallon reef tank. I find this just so addicting. I would say it is about as addicting as tattoos. Which I find very addicting.

gabe145 · 05/14/2013, 06:13 PM

I'm new to RC and have recently gotten back into the hobby, I just graduated from FSU and of course don't have the money that my parents had for their tank. Thanks to my parents I have 1 mp10 (would like 2) 1 AI vega color (need 2) a 10 gallon tank as a sump, and a 55 gallon set up with base rock and live sand. just ordered a bubble magnus skimmer, and still need a few more things, but the tank is cycling and hopefully will be ready for fish and corals in a few more weeks (2 weeks) any help is always accepted.

TreyBruce · 05/14/2013, 07:57 PM

Hi! My stepdad has been into this hobby for quite some time, and with an awesome 72 gallon Oceanic bowfront tank and stand, I'm ready to get started with a FOWLR setup.

I'll be in and out of some threads, learning as much as I can! I teach Biology and Chemistry, so I'm looking forward to utilizing this experience as a teaching tool in the classroom.

My husband knew how obsessed I've been with my aquarium but I just admitted how obsessed I was last week.
