Hello fellow Reefers, I am new to the community. Hello & thanks in advance for pitching in your ideas or suggestions. My recent attempts to successfully keep a "break-in" Damsel fish have struck out... :-( I am currently zero for three with my Petco Damsels. I have had them check the water...

Hello, New to the forum and are looking forward to learn from some local keepers. I am located on Cape cod, not alot out this way for shops. I have set up two 65 gallon tanks draining into a 55 gallon sump and a 20 gallon refugium. Using a deltec protein skimmer and lighting with 150 watt...

Hello BRS members! We are newbies to the reefing hobby and to BRS. We have just purchased a used 55 gallon (non reef ready) tank and stand. Our intent is to be able to eventually have the option of softies, LPS and SPS, clams etc. We've been doing a good amount of research on our new...

Hey all I set up a 20 gallon tank with a free in tank skimmer that my friend let me have. Problem is is it's old and every 30 minutes or so it spits out half a million microbubbles into my tank. What do u suggest for a job skimmer for under 200.00? Tom

Hey everyone, I've been caring for freshwater fish and shrimp since i was ten and am done giving most of my freshwater fish away. I have two 55g getting ready to be put into use. One is for my family, and the other is for my dorm. I don't have money for much stuff so won't be going for any reef...

I have been waiting since mid july for my oceanic bio cube to come in. I bought it through Marine depot. They have the tank but the stand has been on back order. Every week they give me a new date (which they get directly from Oceanic) on the stands arrival. Today I learned that it won't be in...

Hello everyone! First time posting here. I am new to Salt water and like everyone I have my own set of questions. I have read the marine reef aquarium by Phipip Hunt and What Invertebrates by Tristan Lougher. Both seemed to be good. I just bought a 29 Oceanic bio cube w/fluorescents which...

Hello all, My name is Jesse and I hail from the armpit of cape cod:). I kept freshwater tanks for many years when I was younger. I had always wanted to go to salt water but was constantly discouraged from it due to the "extra work they take." Recently my girlfriend got a 44 gallon...

Just wanted to into myself. I picked up a 55g with 10g sump. Came with a few extras including another 20g tank! I'm new to salt tanks so I've been searching like crazy on this forum. I love it. Somethings I'm still working on is the flow to the sump tank and skimmer... any suggestions would...

I would like to finally introduce myself as a BRS Supporter!!! Just paid my membership! Even though I really can't make it to the meetings since I don't have a car yet, I've gotten SO much useful information that I felt bad not supporting the club yet :( But that's all behind! Thanks a lot...

I've been on here for a while and realized I never introduced myself. To introduce myself, I'm Matt and I've had the pleasure of meeting a few of you already. I'm from Peabody and will say right now, anyone in the area need help/a truck to move a tank or something feel free to shoot me a PM. I'll...
