I bought a gallon of 3% peroxide form amazon for $11. Hopefully this is enough to get this rock ready for the new tank. Before I installed the old tank, I glued a sheet of plastic under the base of the cabinet so it could be as level as possible over my turbulent tile floor ...every stupid tile...

Hey reefers. I am somewhat stumped/terrified of my next step in this hobby and am seeking as much help as I can muster before the date arrives. I have had a 50 gal reef for 18 months or so. I was never in love with the tank itself and it is finally time to upgrade to a Red Sea Reefer 425XL in...

the rock was dry rock from BRS, I cured the rock in a dark bin for 4 months before I even bought the tank. When I bought the tank, the rocks cured inside the tank for another 2 months with a fishless cycle, I dosed ammonia and finally Dr. Tim's Nitrifying Bacteria. I have 5 Anemones in the tank...

Learning to be a better reefer everyday.

I hae had this 50 gallon tank running for over a year now. It seems like the Diatom Bloom never went away and only got stronger. Did I make a mistake by curing my rock in a dark bin for 3 months before the tank was even setup? Up until I ran a GFO reactor the algae was just everywhere and...
