Hello everyone. I'm here feeling daunted and excited in equal measure having had our 85L tank set up and cycling for a good few weeks. I would love it if anyone could tell me whether we're cycled. I have a 10 and a 6 year old here busting a gut to shop for first fishies tomorrow! Are we...

Hi. So yesterday i bought my first saltwater tank from kijiji. I have 20 freshwater tanks and have always wanted to do the jump. It came with 2x clownfish, a blue damsel, 3 hermitcrabs and sand. I just put 18 lb of live rock and im running a tidal 55 and a aquaclear (small) for carbon. Once is...

I’m new to the salt water community and need help identifying if this algae is a beneficial algae or a bad algae in my tank. It looks like little puff balls.

I all, I ordered an empourer angelfish and I was curious if anyone had tips for destressing it and keeping him successfully. I have had angels in the past but they have all been dawrfs. I know they are extremely prone to ich so i was planning on keeping him in quarantine for 30 days and treating...

Hello guys we have just found this in our saltwater tank. We have just took it out, but if its safe we want to put it back in.
