emergency

When I got home from work I noticed my auto doser was on and dosing Red Sea ab plus constantly in my tank, luckily i only keep a a few weeks worth in the bottle at a time, but it still dosed over 100 ml into my tank and my regular dose is 15 ml, all my corals were closed and my tank was so...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a nice sized tiger pistol shrimp, but I noticed an unusual bulge on the right side of his body, I could be overreacting but it looks similar to an isopod parasite, can anyone help? Thanks!

On August 8th two new fish were added to my display. Purchased from one of two places I have bought livestock. Wasn’t until after problems started and calling the store for more information and help. That I realized they keep all fish in Sub therapeutic copper. After they have been through QT in...

I don’t know what’s wrong with my clown. He has not eaten for four days and just floats at the top of the tank and does not swim like his partner much. This seemed to time with adding a peppermint shrimp, who I have not seen since I put the tiny little guy in there, a pincushion urchin, and 5...

He’s been acting like this for about a week, recently moved to sand. He had been on live rock farther up closer to the light.

Heres what happened, Im fighting dinos, specifically procentrum, and I started dosing silicates. I used sponge excel, and dosed 5 drops into 10 gallons. The drops did harden upon contact with the water and turn into white flakes. I know that silicate based solutions are caustic to humans, but...

Hi, I was cleaning off the algae on my glass and the magnet cleaner fell straight on top of my og bounce baby. I put in a little bit of melafix to hopefully avoid any infection and the lights are currently off. I think its guts are out and the bubbles are a bit deflated. will it be ok?

My Aussie torch is retracted and looks shriveled for a lack of a better term. It had been doing great up until this point. The only thing that’s different about my tank is I just started adding the Red Sea Reef Energy Plus Coral Nutrition. 29 gal BioCube Salinity: 1.027 PH: 8 Ammonia: 0...

I’m new to saltwater and recently added two clownfish after cycling my tank for a few months. All levels were normal when I added them, and they’ve been eating well. Before tonight, this fish was swimming normally and breathing normally. Now, it’s at the bottom of the tank and breathing rapidly...

I got a sand sifting sea cucumber a few days ago and it immediately did great, eating, pooping, super active, etc. But overnight about three different ulcerations appeared, like it has white holes in the sea cucumbers body. The only other inhabitants are a cleaner shrimp, some snails and a...

Trying to decide which way to treat… Most of the fish have done occasional flashing for months, have never seen a white spot or a definitive sign of velvet before. Flashing seems to come and go. May have been getting a little worse lately. Then today my royal gramma is up high in the water...

First post here, wasnt hoping to run into issues this early and need feedback.... So I started up a IM 20g 2 months ago. Did a fishless cycle with bottled ammonia. Waited a month, put in a six line wrasse and a few softies and LPS and has now been another month with them all doing pretty well...

Can somebody help me ID this guy. Almost looks like a yellow sea lettuce nudi moving around at night.

So I recently bought these 2 clowns and one seems to have a lesion on its head. I was just about to dose Copper into the qt but noticed this and was wondering if y’all can help me identify it and tell me how to treat it. Thanks!

I have an 1100 gallon tank and was concerned because I have not seen my Bicolor Angel in a couple days. Today when I got home fro work he was swimming near the surface but not looking right. I easily caught him and moved him to my 40 Gal. emergency tank. He has red around the lips seams to have...

Is there a way to stop/recover sps from STN? Got a stylo for like a month now, started to STN several days ago. Did my research, but wanted to know your guys opinions. Did couple extra water changes and AB+. Any suggestions?

Hitchhiker on my Candy Canes. Not sure if harmful or not, but kind of concerning. Any help appreciated!

I woke up this morning to a huge alk spike, I checked the doser pump and according to Apex, it didn't dose an absurd amount of alk. I dose 2 part.

Hi! Currently panicking and in an emergency right now. My lights just popped caused by a short circuit in my house somewhere, somehow busting my lights. Ive ordered a new set of lights and its on the way right now. I have only a green star polyp in my tank now and its closed right now since...

Hi everyone! Im very new to marine fish keeping. I got a firefish goby two weeks ago. Upon getting it, it looked in very good shape. But just a couple of days ago, I started noticing that its tail was frayed and now i noticed some white fuzzy spots on its body. Could someone help me identify...

Please help me who knows what might be going on. So I had this candy cane next to my hammer for several months. No problems. Hammer didn't grow as much as the candy grew almost triple since I first bought it. The skin of the candy is like dissolving. At first I thought it was splitting. But it...

I just received an Orange Spotted Blenny from Live Aquaria. The fish looked very healthy in the bag. I dumped it into the small bucket to begin acclimating, when I checked the shipping water's salinity. The water the blenny was shipped in was 40PPT, and the salinity of my quarantine tank is...

I just started working for a small non-profit in Florida a week ago. Our burrfish (3+ years in our care, no prior issues) is struggling and I'm looking for new ideas to help her eat. Here's what happened: The burrfish was in a 550g qt tank with some other fish following an unrelated event in...

A few days ago, I noticed minuscule white spots on some of my fish, and assuming it’s ich, I’ve been trying to gather all the supplies for a quarantine/ hospital tank to treat them. I simply have a 10 gallon, a cheap HOB filter, a 50w heater, a thermometer, and some old aquarium decorations. Is...
