    Reef roid feeding, what the heck is this?!

    Does my hammer like the roids?! What is this?! I direct fed with a syringe with the pump off. Most of these guys closed up, Duncan seemed to let off some of this and my Acan did too (finicky guy). Are the roid raging or what?! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    What are these, just appeared, ID please

    I just recently noticed these. Seems like my clown fish are eating them, maybe?! I did drop a cube of PEMYSIS in last night because my new clown fish seem to not like pellets, but that is a different discussion! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Should I be concerned? Thanks,

    Growing Plants w/ Grow Light Alongside Fluval 13.5 ???

    Hello fellow reefers, TWO QUESTIONS i. Anyone’s expert opinion on whether or not keeping a plant grow light in the same room as my aquarium is okay? ii. Also, could this artificial sun be the dominant factor in causing my excess algae growth? I have a quite young (6 weeks?) fluval evo 13.5...

    Nano Build Slothy's Evo 13.5 Mixed Reef Build

    Hey all! I've never posted a build thread but always wanted to. Been deep in and out of the freshwater hobby my whole life and have dabbled in keeping a FOWLR system in the past, but I'm ready to graduate on to the world of reefing. I decided I'd go with something small that can easily be moved...

    Anyone know what this is? it came in on my frag of zoas.

    it wasn’t this big when i got it. it just kept growing more and more till it got to this size. and to be completely honest, i kind of like it and would probs prefer it to be on its own with no zoas.

    King of the hill- Can nuisance algae be managed by increasing coraline algae load?

    I began my reef hobby nearly 6 months ago with a 13.5 Fluval EVO, and I've had great luck with it thus far (knocking on all the wood available). So far the only major problem I have encountered was a salinity spike that nearly killed my hammer (Beginner mistake- I relied on a cheap hydrometer)...

    Removing xenia, killed my goby? How to proceed?

    I removed some rock from my Fluval Evo 13.5 to scrape off some pulsing xenia and then three days later my hectors' goby is dead. Did I do something wrong that contributed to his death, or was it just a fluke? Here's how it went: I removed the xenia with a razor blade, rinsed the rock off with...

    I 3D Printed a Fluval Evo port cover!

    Yesterday I got this little guy. I already had something covering the feeding port from when I got my hi-fin banded goby, but it didn't look very nice. I had more magnets holding it down before, but I had to borrow some to do my 3D print. I designed a new port cover using 3D modelling...

    Tank swap question

    Hello reefers, I currently own a fluval evo 13.5(been running since June 2021) and I wanted to upgrade to a waterbox 20. If I add all my live rock, bio media and some tank water from my evo to the cube 20. Will the cube 20 still cycle/mini cycle? Thank you and happy reefing!

    Tankmate for Territorial Clownfish

    I have had my 13.5 gallon Fluval Evo AIO for about 4.5 years. I've had a pair of occelaris clowns since starting the tank. Recently, the large (almost 4 inches) female started bullying the male and, I think due to the bullying, he jumped out of the tank. I recently added a small clown and the...
