newbie

Hey everyone, my names Seth and I wanted to say hi and introduce myself and my tank! Up to this point I’ve been more of a freshwater scrub, but with classes at the U being canceled I’ve really come to fall in love with the reefing community! Currently I’m running a biocube 32 with an AI Prime...

Hello TCMAS! I need to setup a pre-owned saltwater tank by tomorrow evening because a large column of live rock will be delivered. I have a freshwater setup. I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about saltwater science and operation. I am asking for help bringing the tank and equipment in from my...

I just wanted to introduce myself, I used to be really into my tanks, especially my marine tanks. Over the past 5 or so years I have left it alone. I am getting back into it with my wife and am looking forward to starting to get back into the hobby. Excited to be involved with TCMAS! I...

I have just purchased my first saltwater tank a Red Sea Max s400 and waiting for it to be set up in the next two weeks. Have been doing research on tanks and set ups but have come to the realization that i have a lot to learn with saltwater after having fresh water for years.

As my tank Finally enters the end of its cycle I am beginning to get things pulled together for my quarantine tank. (20GL, heater, power head and sponge filters soaking in sump for 2 weeks) MY question is does anyone have a procedure for what they do when they receive new fish? Do you actively...

I've been interested in starting up a reef tank, maybe a few fish but that's not the issue. I'm looking for some easy to keep, forgiving and hardy corals. Could anyone please suggest some corals they've had a lot of luck with or maybe there's a "bread and butter" coral I'm not aware of? I'm...

I just want to start this thread by saying thanks so far to all the support from the club already and to my sponsor jboulerice. I was able to pick up a brand new bio cube and the past few days I've spent helping assemble a stand to support the tank. As soon as I can upload some photos this...

I just got my first tank. It's 50 gallons and I'm confused about many things? It isn't drilled so I don't have a protein skimmer or a sump ( whatever that is). I am willing to do a lot of water changes. I want to add coral. Is this possible? If not currently, what would I have to do to make it...

Hi, everyone. I'm fairly new to the hobby and am about to make my first batch of saltwater (I've been buying my saltwater for water changes from a LFS up until now). Basically I'm looking for a little advice. I plan on making my saltwater in the typical 5 gallon bucket (I've got a 60...

So I finally moved ahead and bought some frags as well as a cleaner shrimp. I also added another big chunk of life rock with some nice purple and green algae on it. I figure you can never have enough live rock. I'm still waiting for the water to clear some before I can try to get some...
