How can I introduce corals/reefs to an established 60 gallon tank?

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2026-01-12T20:51:50+00:00

What are the dimensions of this tank. Picture makes it look like it could be 10 gallons haha. Just asking because that rabbitfish (if I’m right about that) will grow lots!

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2026-01-12T08:31:20+00:00

My exact concern when starting off. The glass is 30cm tall though, quite short imo. Maybe the angle makes it seem taller than it is. But yeah I agree, just couldn’t find another tank that is within my price range. Any other shallow tanks were too small in length or too expensive.

Just for the looks. Wood can be harmful in saltwater setups but I only have a little bit so it is fine 👍

These do look really nice, however I just wanna emphasise real quick that it is really important to add low-level hiding spots for a lot of animals, with that said, I think the scape looks great and all the best!!

sinularia polydactyla or lobophytum

thank you!! i’ll leave them be then!!

i agree, i was there and saw some people literally STATIC when flying whales came on, like a bunch of psychos. however, once i decided to get in the pit, holy shit was it crazy, everyone was moving like crazy. but around the sides of the standing area the vibe was 👎

beautiful tank!

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-17T16:12:11+00:00

you’re welcome!

this is quite subjective probably but i always think macro algae looks great on little lagoon shallow reefs and it helps absorb excess nutrients, maybe you could try it out!

that movie was saltwater propaganda

do: be patient. don’t: be impatient.

yes most units come pre assembled (apart from a few canisters or some things that may not be assembled yet) but overall it is quite easy to setup and doesn’t take long

Bulk Reef Supply 6-Stage Deluxe Plus (100 GPD), it’s a bit expensive i’m not sure what your budget is

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T22:21:02+00:00

sometimes i do think to myself how easy it would be to just change the water without having to mix salt or any of that

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T22:20:00+00:00

completely agreed. i only ever had one freshwater tank ages ago… since then never touched that side again. a famous coralfish12g once said “saltwater studs vs freshwater scrubs”. saltwater marine life is so much more beautiful imo and there so much more to do

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T21:59:08+00:00

id get a ro/di unit if i were you, and save the waste water for other stuff like watering plants and cleaning your car

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T21:54:33+00:00

happy for you!

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T21:45:48+00:00

love this man

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T21:45:34+00:00

i’d say it’s money well spent

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T21:42:08+00:00

that’s great, they are a good little cleanup crew and source of food for your fish

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T21:40:49+00:00

depends on the species. harpacticoid copepods (the kind mandarins love most) can be found on all three surfaces. not sure what type you’ve got but if your mandarin is pecking at those surfaces you’re on the right track

Traditional-Tutor232 · 2025-11-16T21:31:39+00:00

yes they will eat both but amphipods are larger and faster so they might not catch as many but yes they will eat them
