Hello, I am new to reefing and I’m struggling with exactly how to set up my lights. Some say 8 hours some say 10 but would it hurt to have it on for 12? And if so what kind of damage would it do? Also I have white, blue, and RGB mode what is recommended to have on at what times? Is there a light...

Hey everyone, I am in need of some help here. I have been battling, what I believe to be, diatoms for close to three months now. I have recently checked my silicate level which was close to zero. I could not say exactly as it was a Salifert color comparing test. You understand these are not...

Hey guys, I got this clown a little over a week ago. Mind you I already had a clown in my waterbox 20 (smaller than the Wyoming) I brought it home and acclimated and put it in the tank. It was pretty happy, initially when I introduced them they immediately swam to each other swimming happily and...

Hello all, I’m new to reefing and am just in the process of setting up my first tank. I noticed that my pump is pumping out more water than my tank can replace in the chamber. I have a sicce syncra pro 2200 which is rated for 550 gph. Yes, it’s on the lowest setting and I just don’t want the...

I recently bought a used 220 gallon tank, it was up and running when I bought it with NO active leaks. The guy I bought it from said it was about 10 years old and might need to be resealed in the future. I really don't want to completely dismantle the tank when it has no leaks. Should I redo the...

Hello, I have been dealing with ulva in my DT for a couple of months now, and I cannot seem to get rid of it. I have a tang, snails, and emerald crabs. None of them seem to want to eat it. Does anyone have any other solutions?

The reason I placed this as an emergency is because I really need answers as soon as possible… my girlfriend ordered me a green king tenticle anemone. Very nice gesture, but the overthinking nut job I am can’t pass the thought that maybe it’s carrying a disease. It is from fragbox, and I really...

Hi, I’ve been keeping a Red Sea 350 litre G2 for about a year now. I’ve been using the Red Sea skimmer that’s recommended to come with it. I didn’t know very much when I begun this journey or else I wouldn’t have bought it knowing the terrible credibility they have. My skimmed worked fine for...

I keep finding these sand covered noodles at random spots in my tank. Are they spunk? Worms? Poop? They don’t move but I have no idea were they come from.

Alright, I hate to be the noob with the issue this time, but I have to admit my lack of knowledge even after research. My tank has been up and running for almost 4 weeks. When I first started cycling, I accidentally dosed too much ammonia from algaebarn and I think it killed off at least half of...

Hey everyone I am relatively new to reef tanks and I have had this algae in my tank forever. I can’t find anything on it. It has a tank ish colour and it has a jello like consistency. I have no idea what it is or how to get rid of it but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

About a week ago I had a fish die out of the blue. This fish was never being super successful in the tank since I got him. Maybe a month before his death. I didn't notice any specific reason to his death. But decided to keep a close eye on the rest of my fish. This morning I have a clown fish...

My tank is 350 litre and about a year old. I’ve never had problems with phosphates in the past, but as of recently in the last month they just won’t seem to go down. I bought a TDS meter for my RODI and it’s at 0, and even then I switched them all out to be sure. I’m dosing rowa in a reactor and...

This morning I woke up, and heard bubbling, I open up the top of the garbage bin and it’s litterally boiling. I’m freaking out. My heater must have just shut itself in the nighttime as I’ve done this routine 1000 times. I was told by the owner and very knowledgeable of a good Reef store to let...

Hey guys I just moved to south jersey. I’m in the marlton area. I lost of bunch of supplies and coral/fish during my move. Lost a tomini and red and purple firefish. My emerald crab. A bunch of snails. It was not a planned move so it was definitely rushed. My light got broken and I lost my sump...

So I’ve recently bought a brand new mp40, and installed it tonight. And it’s making this loud vibration noise. When I put my hand on the glass I can feel the vibration. And I can also hear the vibration when ever the pump ramps up.
