SEEKING ADVICE: Skimmer and flow I own a gen2 bubble King 200 mini, which i've been thinking to use on my next build (75g display tank + 30g sump). In addition i'll be running a filter roller. My concern is that the skimmer is oversized and that i might be better with a smaller or simply run...

Hello everyone, OK, so, I kinda rushed into buying a 450 red sea reefer as it was alot bigger than mine and was close to home. The family I got it off seemed really genuine and felt right when I brought it. Once I got it home and had more chance to inspect it further I notice a couple of...

I have a 1.5 year old 16 gallon mixed reef tank. I have read several threads talking about royal gamma aggression and that it normally calms down. My question is where do I draw the line? I recently added a yellow watchman and the royal gamma has really been going after him. The watchman seems...

Hi all, This was my first tank (now have 2). I've had it coming 1 year and It's a red sea 130D (30gal cube basically). I have predominantly LPS with a few softies... Stock list at the bottom if you're interested. I water change around once every 2-3 weeks and dose AB+ once a week as it's an...

Are there any products out there which work well as acdc power hubs? I can buy a meanwell power supply and hook a bunch of devices to it, simplifying my electrical, but I'd have to wrangle up an enclosure, solder barrel and pin receptacles, etc. Not to mention insurance wouldn't cover a fire if...

Hello, I am currently battling prorocentrum dinos and am making solid progress. I have a forest of GHA now, but it is now becoming problematic. It is housing stray dinos in it, while also suffocating my Xenia. Even though it is a competitor for the dinos, it is also a major nuisance. I want to...

Hi everyone, I've posted multiple threads of my battle with prorocentrum dinoflagellates, and I believe I am in the later stages of the outbreak (knock on wood). Anyways I did end up removing the sand, and I don't regret it because I like the way bare bottoms look. Now I know that prorocentrum...

i managed to convince my family to let me get a 125. this is my first delve into a tank of this size, and im also completely new to corals. theres no guarantee i can get anything that isn't shipped or from a big chain store (Petco/petsmart) as much as id like to avoid going there. Point is, i...

My wife is finally letting setup an new tank!! I'm looking at getting a standard aqueon 210 then drilling it for a synergy reef 16 overflow. I wanted to drill the return lines into the back as well but a friend recommended not to. Any advice? I'm going to build my own stand fallow the rocket...

Howdy everyone, just made a great second hand purchase for my first reef tank. I have other tanks, just not saltwater, until now! I do need a little help with setup, if anyone is around and has the time to chat it up. Look forward to talking with everyone in the future

Hey y’all, I’ve been battling dinos for a solid month and a half, and they started due to an imbalance in nitrates and phosphates. I had moderate levels of nitrates while having undetectable phosphates. This imbalance arises because I did not think to dose nutrients during a fallow period...

I have a new 150 Gallon, tank and am building a DIY Sump out of a 40 Gallon Breeder tank. I bought the Fiji Cube Sump Baffle kit for it and am in the process of laying it out. So far, I know how big the intake and return are going to be, where I need help is with the size of the refugium vs the...

Hey y’all, I’ve had a clown in qt for about a month that has gone through both column dosing and food soaking of general cure, but internal parasites still persist. It still has white string feces. I learnt that fenbendazole is an alternative to resistant parasites, however it is not available...

Params: Ammonia/nitrite: negligible Nitrate: 25-30 (high but needed in order to combat dinos) Phosphate: .05 Salinity: 1.026 Calc: 470 Mag: 1420 Alk: 7.8-8 PH: 7.8 - 8.1 I had this Kenya tree for about a month, and it has never done this, being that it’s pinched near the center. I’m currently...

My smithi mantis was eating awesome and looked nice and healthy he then started to build a blockade in his cave as many mantis shrimp do to molt I thought he was dead on the end of week 3 so I tried to take it apart and they were wedged in there good! I opened a small crack and stuck the dull...

Hi Advise on elegance coral needed please. For last few weeks it's not opening as much but appears to have gone greener almost more neon green. Temp 25 Kh 9 Salinity 1.025 Nh3 0 No2 <.2 No3 5-10 Po4 <.3 but that could be higher as I'm trying to get rid of hair algae so might not be a true...

I glued my Kenya tree in a position where there seems to be to much weight from gravity for it to handle. I just got it and I’m wondering if it will start reaching toward my lights and fix itself? Or should I fix it now? It’s just in a good spot so I’d rather not move it. Btw in the pics I had...

I just noticed a gray hole on my cyphaestrea? Params: Nitrates: 7 pH: 7.8-8 Alk: 8.4 Mag: 1440 Calc: 500 Temp: 80-81 all my other corals are doing well and growing, granted they are easy soft corals. The cyphaestrea looks like it has a gray spot on the right which doesn’t look like bleaching...

As far as I can tell, my cynarina is growing some sort of dark flesh, see the photo. I know my nitrates and phosphates are a little low for LPS but I've been struggling to keep them up, I think I need more fish (I only have 2 in my 32.5 gallon). I dose NeoPhos and NeoNitro, but apparently I need...

Hey y’all, I bought a red brick cyphaestrea from top shelf during their sale event, and it arrived with a white spot near one of the polyps. I tried gently brushing it off and doing a dip but it seems like slight bleaching. Can anyone confirm, and if so, what is the best course of action to help...
