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...

-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

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...
Hi. Need some help trying to figure out what wrong with my Nyos skimmer. I had it off for a few days. Moved it to another location so i could add my new algae scrubber. When i powered it on, the pump doesnt seem to be pulling any water in and the propeller is moving funny. I already cleaned out...
I just got home from the grocery store and my Mccosker's wrasse is lying down on the sand bed in the back corner. What is happening?
He's been eating and active since I bought him from the LFS except for today. It looks like he's breathing heavily with sudden big breaths. All other fish are...
I was on vacation last week while my parents were taking care of my tank, once I got back they told me that the YWG and my Mandarin Dragonet haven't been eating even though the food is up for grabs. The Mandarin is very skinny even though I added a crap ton of pods in my DT, but I transferred...
Someone please tell me what’s wrong with my snail!
I have two (turbo?) snails, one is acting completely fine! There’s plenty of algae in here for them too. This one was upside down in the sand last night, seeming to try and grab onto the rock. I moved him next to a rock so he could easily get...
So I just received some new torches and one of them had a fragment of another head attached to it. This fragments appears to be a head that either cracked or accidentally cut down the middle. Is this piece salvageable? If yes, what do I need to do?Or is there more risk of introducing something...
Hi Everyone,
so ran into a issue trusting my GHL doser.
Calibrated the pumps got all squared away to dose 15 ml of each part daily.
came to the tank just now and looks like 400ml of each has been dosed. Not sure why?
long story short my tank was running on 8DKH and Calcium 400 has flown up to...
In anticipation of heading out of town for a week, I set up a Jebao dp-4 pump yesterday to dose my ab+ and "all for reef.". I have a 30 gallon nano system and dose about 4 ml of each by hand daily.
I calibrated the pumps, manually filled the lines, and ran a test dose by setting the time...
Guys I need help! What’s wrong with my blue tangs eye. I see this slight bulging white silver stuff. It wasn’t prominent yesterday, I woke up and saw this today. It was in QT for 5 weeks after which it’s not in the DT, seems to eating normally, water quality is good. Did a 5 min freshwater dip...
Hi all,
Attached are photos of my giant mushroom toadstool (that I've had for 4 years) seemingly spontaneously dying?
Parameters are all in check. It started sluffing off skin, now a hole has "rotted" as you can see in the photo. When I move it and pull the flesh off it definitely has a...
Hi all,
Just added a pre quarantined Fox Face to my tank. He was turning greyish on the way home and same while I acclimated (drip). He went straight to the bottom of the tank behind some rocks on the floor. Now I can't seem to find him... do I need to worry? Only other fish in the tank are...
My diamond watchmen goby just attacked my mandarin dragonet! He isn’t hurt that bad but he will in the mouth of the goby! His tail fin is cut up a bit but he doesn’t seem too bothered. Will he make it through??? :(
Hi all,
A few weeks ago I posted about two of my torches having Brown Jelly, I removed them and put in quarantine and tried coral dips and cutting off the heads, but they died in the end. They did last almost 2 weeks.
Today I found another torch dead with the same Brown Jelly, almost two...

Hi all,
I need some help, I have two corals in my tank, opposite end to each other and are newish (about 2months new into the tank) and both are not what I would say is "Happy"
Both frogspawn where doing well, but then out of the blue have turned, the first just looks bad and now starting to...
I think my clown has velvet. Issue is, I don’t have a quarantine tank. What would you guys recommend I do? Is there a quick type of QT tank I can setup? I have corals so I can't really dose directly in the tank they're in without killing them.
