I just realized that this tank is a FOWLR tank and not even a reef yet :/

Hi all, so far everyone here on the forum has been friendly and helpful and I'm glad I decided to join. I've made some progress on my tank and I thought it'd be cool to make a build thread. Hopefully this isn't too boring for you all, considering how modest my setup is. For some reason the...

Thanks, Steve! I'll take you up on that offer sometime soon. And thanks for the link. I'm going to start a thread in the build section so that you guys can check out the progress I've made so far.

That was the perfect answer. Thanks for the reference, Fathom.

Oops, now I see why there was confusion. I said I used it in an earlier post and then clarified it afterward. I'll make sure and be more precise guys, thanks!

Oh, right. I already read up on why RO/DI is the way to go for saltwater tanks: that's why I specified that I use it in my freshwater tanks. Using pure RO/DI wouldn't go over well in my planted discus tank and since I don't want to bother with buffers and stuff like that I just mix it with tap...

What's wrong with Prime? I've been using it for my freshwater systems since I got back into fish keeping 2 years ago.

Thanks for the recommendation; I'll look it up on BRS. *Update* I thought this stuff was going to be expensive, but I did the math and at their recommended dosage the 64oz size will last me 189 days. Not too shabby.

Thanks for the help, guys. I'm a little leery about dosing any sort of chemicals that have a chance of messing things up in the tank. . . which is just about everything except the Prime water conditioner I use, haha. I'll have to do some research on 2 part dosing it seems.

Hey guys, I'm currently curing the dry rock (in freshwater) I will be using in my 40 gallon reef setup and have been thinking about some of the corals I am interested in stocking. I know I'd like to do a mixed reef with mostly soft corals, but definitely a couple of SPS's. I've already heard...

I saw one or two of those on Dustin's instagram... totally amazing 'scapes. I wholeheartedly encourage it. The challenges of a nano reef are something I've yet to encounter, but learning more about the fw side of the hobby by taking on planted tanks has been pretty rewarding. I know my tank...

Nice, I like it. I can tell you put more thought into your aquascape than I did x)

I bet! Looking at pictures of reefs online has me thinking "Jesus, it's so.... blue." It's gonna be weird to start thinking the opposite. Also, this 20 gallon project just turned into a 40 gallon one. Sold the 20 gallon tank that was supposed to be the initial setup earlier today. :D...

Hey everyone, I've had freshwater fish tanks around the house forever, but wasn't keeping anything more than a betta or two for a long time now. I recently got back into the freshwater hobby and achieved one of my childhood goals: keeping discus. I've had my 55 gallon planted discus tank...
