What advice have you picked up along the way that doesn't seem to be common knowledge, but may be worth sharing? It could be random theories or something you know actually works.
I stopped by the local coral shop late yesterday and got some interesting insight on coral keeping that I hadn't...
Caught my Blenny red handed picking at my Duncan, so I guess that means I have to get rid of this guy, very disheartening as I’ve grown to love him. What other fish would you guys recommend to replace him? I have a 30 gallon with a clown, firefish, and a bg chromis.
Hi all,
I am breaking down my tank due to moving and I need to rehome all these. I have 2 gsp colonies on rocks that have spread, and they need to be rehomed. Toadstool as well. Can ship but it will be costly.
In theory when looking at a tank of any size, there’s a limit to the amount and size of fish you can put in it. However, I feel as though a lot of tanks can be “overstocked” and as long as parameters remain stable and the fish are happy, this is negligible. I’d like to get some more opinions on...
Hey again Reef2Reef! Today I noticed something I’ve never seen before on my candycane coral. It appeared to have a grey crack on one of the heads. It looks weird in comparison to the rest of the coral. I don’t know if it’s starting to bleach or if it’s just a sign of growing like stretch marks...
Hi. Im need to reef keeping. I have added gorgonia white coral in tank three days ago. And now it’s depleting like white stuffs on it. Please check video. Help me thanks
"I have this little devil's hand frag, and a few days ago, it grew white and red spikes that are emerging from it. It's probably not the swaying tentacles since they don't move at all; these spikes resemble something else. Do you have any idea what it could be? Could they be spicules?"
Hi guys!
I've struggling with high levels of magnesium in my tank, I check parameters every week, and for the past 3 weeks, magnesium has been going up. Also my nitrates are kind of high, but those are going gradually down, so I'm not too worried about it.
So I would really really appreciate...
Hi all, just starting out on R2R been a viewer for many years but finally decided to get dive into the idea of sharing my hobby with any/everyone. Been keeping reefs for the last 22 years practically alone. I live in a small town with little to no resources and like the title says no networking...

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been growing a colony of Zoanthids… and it’s safe to say the colony has gotten rather large. To be honest Im not exactly sure if they are Blondie Zoas or Circus Zoas… however they are truly so beautiful. I would like to cut and sell some frags of my colony to...

Was curious as to why only one polyp of my hammer coral extends. It’s in a low-ish flow area of the tank and I dim my lights for about 6 hours of the day and give them about 4 hours of brighter light.

The title says it all. How long do you quarantine or do you quarantine at all?
For fish I like to do a freshwater dip and use safety stop fish dip and then quarantine in a QT tank for observation for 2 months and to get them used to the diet they will be provided in the display.
For corals i...
