Guys, I have been trying to lower my nitrates for weeks now! Every few days or once a week I lose a fish. Other fish in the tank barely swim, I thought maybe they’re just lazy. I have zero ammonia, nitrites, my ph was low but got a reef buffer and that increased my ph. I am running hyposalinty...

So I just received my new AI Prime 16 HD super happy with it. I’m coming from the stock Biocube 32 LED hood, unbelievable difference in quality. anyways I am nervous about burning the living hell out of the corals with this thing. I am currently running a schedule downloaded from a R2R member...

I came back from work today with a new flame fin tomini tang and before I put him in, I noticed that my domino damsel, purple tang, and fu man chi lion all had white spots. I’m not sure if it’s ich but if it is. I’d like to treat it as soon as possible.

What is this purple stuff, its growing on My other rocks too

Decided it was time I upgraded my 125 petsmart build, to something a bit more professional. After weeks of research on all major brands (Waterbox, redsea, Prostar, SCA etc) I finally settled on the innovative marine 200, I really loved the Eurobracing, aluminum stand, sump, and lets be honest...

Lf any help I can get lol getting frustrated with this hobby despite the love I have for it! My understanding is that these two corals you can throw in a toilet and they would live, so what is going on? Parameters in picture. 4 month old tank. Salinity ranges from 1.025-1.026 Nitrates are high...

Hi, I own a leopard wrasse for 4 months now and its doing pretty well except at night. When the lights go out it almost always struggles to find a spot to bury himself. It’s so frustrating to watch because he starts trying around 1hour before the lights go out and gets very stressed out when...

I have a few tanks, and all use Coralife Seascape LED lights or Current Marine Orbit, but due to the fact that the Currents have began electrocuting the water of my frag tank, I will be replacing these lights. I only have soft corals, but might get some easy LPS at some point. What budget LED...

I started my reef tank back in April and it has been nothing short of a nightmare from the get go. I added a pair of clowns to the tank a few days after the startup bacteria to help with the cycling process. I elected not to QT the fish since there was nothing else in there to contaminate at the...

I noticed in on my rocks. I have no idea what it is. I have 2 clowns, cerith snails, nassarius snails, 2 scarlet hermits, 2 blue dwarf hermits, and an emerald crab.

Hello all, this is my first post on here and I first want to say thank you to everyone that contributes on here. This place has helped a lot this past few months. And although I’m still struggling to find balance in my reef tank, I’m thankful for all the advice I have found on here. Now I wanted...

I have two Current Marine Orbit LEDs on one of my tanks, never had a problem. Just yesterday reached in, and immediately felt a sting. Tried plugging and unplugging everything and deduced that it was the lights. The wires and cords are a bit of a mess in the back so I unplugged them and planned...

Hello all I have been having issues with alkalinity for a little bit now. I have been testing for the past couple weeks and dosing to get it to around 9-10, and I finally have done it (I thougth). I have been testing every couple days and for about two weeks now my test kit (red sea) has been...

I got a ton of coral from my university because they're done researching them and didn't know what to do with them. They're in rough shape because they aren't aquarists (microbiologists). Most have too little flesh to get an accurate ID so I've cleaned the algae off their exposed skeletons, gave...

I just received my syncra sdc pump and was trying to fit it onto the dx plumbing, but the hose fittings are either to small or to big. Am I doing something wrong? photos of the waterbox pipe are attached

I am in the process of compiling a list of stock I want to keep in my tank. I plan on having a mixed coral/fish tank and clowns are pretty high up on my list as well. Other than that, I'm not too sure on what other fish I want to keep. Dimensions are: 48'' long, 18'' wide, 21" tall What...

Currently dealing with Zoa eating spiders, I have found three so far. CoralRX is coming on Friday. I have lots of Zoa frags in the tank that are completely open and doing great. Is it safe to dip them and then put them into the main tank? Or could there possibly be eggs even if the polyps are...

Sorry for the crappy photos, hard to get a good one. Tank is 1 1/2 years old. Mixed reef 40 gallon cube. 10 gallon water change EVERY week. I just noticed this weird like gray almost mold like fuzz growing in small splotches on my rocks. Not sure what it is, would appreciate advise please

I’ve read about freshwater dipping, brightwell MD, reef dip, and some others. What do you all recommend as the best treatment/dip for these spiders?

This is an urgent emergency there are tiny saltwater ghost shrimp and I cant go back to let them free for a while, I need to know how to keep them alive and raise them. I have not found anything on the web about what to feed new saltwater ghost shrimp, it is all about freshwater ghost shrimp. I...
