New to saltwater?
Reef gear explained like a neighbor, not a spec sheet.
Saltwater has a reputation for being complicated. The truth is that every thriving reef tank runs on the same six pieces of gear, and picking the right ones the first time will save you more money than any deal you'll find online. Start with what you actually need and skip the rest. We stock the stuff we'd run on our own systems — nothing more.
The six essentials
Every reef tank runs on these.
This is the short list. Skip any one of these and the tank will fight you. Pick a tile to see the gear we stock for that job and why.

From the shop's systems.
Every one of these was taken in our frag room or display tanks. The same gear you're about to shop for is what grew every polyp you see.
