As long as the plastic pool is clean I don't see how it'd be any different than using the 25 gallon plastic buckets. Also, check this thread out: https://livingreefs.com/threads/rubbermaid-reef.50639/

As I work on coding the new, custom built, species database, I wanted to bump this topic to remind folks to let me know about any features you'd like to see here on LR. Right now, I'd especially be interested in hearing about any recommendations, or suggestions, you have that are specific to the...

No, seriously, we're back! For those who didn't catch my intro thread, I'm Mike. I'm the new owner of Living Reefs and I'm here to tell you that I'm all in on rebuilding and revitalizing this community! Yes, I know the challenges. There are other sites that are bigger, more popular and have...

As we start to put an end to 2023 and prepare to 2024, which will be my first year running this site, I wanted to reach out to all of the members here to find out about some things you'd like to see added to the site. I already have a few things in mind that I'll be working on getting added...

Wow! These pictures are amazing! Hard to believe, especially just by looking at the first several pictures, that this is in a rubbermaid stock tank!

It's done! The forum software has been updated! You might notice a lot of things look different, but that's simply because some things were no longer compatible with this new software. I'll try to help explain where to find some things. Where did the showcase go? The showcase was one of the...

Welcome to the new LivingReefs.com server! If you're seeing this, then you've made it! Now that we've got that done, I'll start work on getting all the current site data ready for an upgrade, which I'm hoping will take place within the next several days. Once that's finished I'll get to work on...

Looks like it could be a vermetid snail, although it's tough to tell from the pictures shown. Maybe even a spionid worm? In any case, I'd assume those "tentacles" are searching for food. I wouldn't expect them to be harmful, but I'd keep a close eye on it and the other things in your tank just...

As I'm working through everything here on the site, and what needs to be updated, I'm noticing that there are a lot of low quality, or low color, photos in the species database. So, what I'd like to do is ask that if you have (or if you can take) a higher quality, with better color, photo of...

I'd like to bring this back starting in January but, at least for a while, instead of having a vote we'll just have it be a way to show off your tanks. We'll keep the same categories each month, but we'll just skip the voting. We'll also allow entries for the entirety of the month. Once we start...

Hi everyone. My name is Mike. I'll soon be the new owner/administrator of this site. I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know what all I have planned for the site, going forward. I've been building websites for over 20 years now, going all the way back to the angelfire days. Most of...

Hi! Welcome to the site (a little late). How's the aquarium going? Any chance we might could get some pictures of it?
