emergency

Hoping to get some advice on what to do next for my scratching Powder Blue Tang. Had him in QT for 21 days and did my usual Formalin treatments but belatedly realised that my Formalin bottle is over 1 year old and so is probably ineffective. He started scratching on day 9. Today are the first...

Almost all my fish seem lethargic this morning and are not eating So I have a 150g mostly fish setup. Couple softies but I’ve really been trying to take it slow with corals. I have three fire fish, two clowns, two bengai cardinals, a royal gramma, a bicolor Blenny, a coral beauty, and a...

Clownfish is barely moving, doing flips/swimming very erratically in bursts, breathing really heavy and its mouth is white, so is its top fin (not as white). Ive had the tank for a 1 year and a half, the fish until march. There are no other fish in the tank. Yesterday, it was laying at the...

I have a green ricordia mushroom that’s been expanding a lot and changing it’s placement as it belongs do a sizeable mushroom garden on my sand bed. Right in front of the garden lies my yellow-eyed, red chalice frag (about 2 inches) where the mushrooms sometimes expand and has direct contact...

Hey Everyone, I'm in Orlando and Hurricane Ian is a few hours away from me. I've got everything prepared for my family but now I'm worried about my tank. I know I should have gotten a battery backup system, but I failed on that (I'll definitely have one going forward). Already 400k without...

Having some problems with my tank with parameters out of whack. I transferred both of my clowns to a large measuring cup until I get the issues resolved. I used bottled spring water and matched the salinity from my tank. My parameters are decent for most part except ammonia which is a bit high...

Just noticed my wrasse has some odd stripes that are vertical towards the back of his body kind of like a perch. First noticed today night had for 1 month.

This is day 2 now, and I have been paralyzed in fear...so I know that I'm just a sitting duck here. I woke up Thursday morning and saw a nasty crack in the bottom front left corner of my JBJ 15 gal nano. It has not spread, and it is not leaking. No idea why it cracked, but it has been set up...

Hello y’all! I’ve had a Mini Arctica chiller for a little over two years now. Last night the pump was making a bunch of noise, so I unplugged it and my chiller to look at in the morning. This morning when I plugged it back in, everything turned on fine, except the chiller won’t kick on...

On Thursday, I noticed my Foxface stuck to a Powerhead. The previous day it had been totally fine and eating. I moved it to my hospital tank and observed it for a day. I realized then that it was quite thin and swimming very lethargically and would easily get sucked against the Powerhead that I...

Okay this is a new one for me my piece has detatached from its skeleton and floating loose so now on the surface seems healthy and still eating yet no skeleton what’s the verdict??

Got home tonight and the smaller of my clown pair was looking like this. Could it be brook or velvet? It and all of the other fish in my tank are acting fine.

Noticed white spots on some of my fishes 6 days ago, put them in QT and treated with Ick remedy, high temp, now day 6 and the spots reappeared with a vengeance. Thought it was ich now I am not sure. Might be Velvet?

I’ve had this unit for 3 years. The past 2 months I’ve noticed skeleton. Dipped it with a good response but still showing skeleton when flow is low.

Hi, About 1.5-2 weeks ago I noticed my juvenile male angulatus wrasse losing some parts of his tail. I thought it was normal as he was a young fish and I know they are constantly changing. I thought it was fine until last Friday (8/19/22) I noticed the same happening to my Black Ice Longfin...

Hi All, since 3 or 4 days one of my clownfish won’t eat and only swims/lays on the bottom. I noticed that he lost some weight and he won’t eat. The other clown does eat but doesn’t “look” all that healthy. I manage to capture them and put them in my quarantaine system. I figured it’s most...

I am new to coral keeping so bare with me. I have a GSP frag that has been doing well, but today I noticed that part of the frag had what looked like mold, as well as possibly green bubble algae. Does anyone know what these are?

Before I start, I would like to say I kind of hate using the word emergency here but it is time sensitive and blackout as in controlled, not a power outtage In my tank I have a very big Dino outbreak. I did a massive clean last night of siphoning the sand and cleaning off the rocks and glass...

I was testing all my reef tanks 60.2 and a WB 10 cube and alk was through the roof like 12.2 in the tanks themselves Then I realized I did waterchange yesterday and went to test my mixing can and it tested 13.2!!!! I am using a Hanna Alk checker and the reagent is still good and my salt is good...

I've had this Kenya Tree in the tank for over a month now its its been completely healthy until recently. These small holes appeared on its trunk and had some white particles in it. We cleaned it off and did a fresh water dip as recommended by our local reef store. The white particles are gone...

Had in tank for a week noticed what looked like a pest so just dipped and put back in tank

Long story short: -put live rock and live sand into bleach+water for a week -dry out in the sun already around 7 days -not in town -stray cat came and pooped/peed on the sand/rocks -ask family member to clean the rock and sand -they clean rock with water and soap how do I remove the soap from...

Hi all! A couple days ago I did a sizeable water change on my tank to help remove Cyanobacteria, and all was normal in the tank was normal for a day, but yesterday evening I noticed what looked like snow on my montipora? It was not there in the morning and nothing has been introduced to the...

Hi guys! Perhaps I am being overzealous but I worried about my Foxface. He is constantly flaring his fins and the upper half of his body is constant dark camo colours. He has also recently shed his slime coat (I assume from stress.). I recently added a tuxedo urchin, a torch coral to the tank...
