Hello, I was needing some help and wondering why everything in my aquarium died. I left for vacation all parameters were good and normal fish was healthy and I came back to this. The gfi receptacle tripped and tank got turned off for a day or two. I believe something with the aquarium tripped...

Can anyone tell me what is growing on the skeleton of this torch coral?

I got this anemone almost a week ago and it's been in my quarantine. I'm pretty sure it ate about 4 days ago. Sometimes it will completely deflate in the middle of the day and now it's doing this! What do I do? What's happening?

Hi! My 6g nano is almost a month old. About two weeks ago, I replaced the original water with cycled water from a coral tank from my LFS. Over the course of a week after adding cycled water, I added my animals- Mexican turbo snail, cleaner shrimp, red honey damsel, 3 Astrinia starfish; electric...

Hello fellow humans i have just setup my very first saltwater tank, and i am worried i may have put in too much rock. I like the way my hardscape looks but i would like to keep a pair of clownfish and some corals later down the line. So i am wondering if my tank has enough open space as it is...

Long story short I have a 10 gallon zoa dominated nano with around 30 different varieties from low end to high end and about 6 varieties are suddenly acting unhappy, shriveling up, expelling guts, etc. The kicker is most of the high end varieties look great.. 25 percent of my zoanthid strains...

Hello all. I’m new to this hobby and believe me I’m in love. But being new I’m still trying to grasp the ropes. Definitely a learning process. I have a Fluval Evo tank. I’ve had this tank with fish in it for 2 months now. I’ve been struggling with this hideous algea red and green. On my rocks...

So here’s an update and if you guys have any other suggestions, ideas, tips Id love to hear it. So my fish with ICH have been quarantined with Copper and in the QT for...

Tank 13.5 EVO with protein skimmer Ammonia 0.25 I did a water change with treated water, only about a gallon. Roughly 10%. I noticed that my newer Kenya tree started to go sorta limp. It wasn’t fully opened yet but in the process. I immediately tested Ammonia and it was 0.25. I took out...

Looking for someone who knows more about coral identification than I. I went to my local fish store a few weeks ago and they game me a free coral. I was told it was an acan, but it doesn't look like an acan coral now that it has begun to grow and heal. It is on a 1 inch plug for reference.

Long story short my tank crashed, I found my nero pump controller sitting in my sump (photos below). I immediately did an icp test find results below. I’ve been doing several waterchanges and running carbon between the crash to now. As per my icp test is it safe to assume the metal in the tank...

I noticed this weird thing growing on my new frag a few weeks back and since then I've tried dipping and picking them off with tweezers but It clearly didn't work. The coral is basically dead at this point think. Does anyone have any idea what this weird thing is? Up close it looks like a type...

So i'll try to be as succinct as possible Earlier today around 2:55pm PST, I had irresponsibly ripped/lifted out of tank (what I believe to be) Zoanthid colonies off of rock to transfer to another tank. My total handling time was no more than 5 mins, and the 4 handfuls of zoa were exposed to...

Hello, I've been battling this algae for a couple months now and I can't get rid of it... I can really use some help, quitting this awesome hobby has crossed my mind.. It's a very slimy fuzzy looking brown algae/bacteria. I've tried sucking it of, which reduces it a lot but only the top layer...

Lfs just calls these guys African clownfish. Are they clarkii or allardi? Or something else? Thanks

Hi all! I bought this frogspawn a few months ago and over time I’ve noticed something is off. The tentacles of this frag seem to be getting “smaller” and somewhat darker over time. The tissue is still there just not as healthy as before. Just yesterday it has begun to look even more sickly than...

Yesterday I recieved a shipment of corals that all looked amazing. This morning I got up to see my brand new Lobo coral looks to be dying. I don't know what's wrong or how to help it. Please help!

Hello, I bought one reefled 50 light for my 55 gallon mixed reef. I was recommended to by two by my local fish store. But I only bought one because of the price. Before I bought the second I wanted to know if they were good for 55 gallon tanks. Thanks for any response or help!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could identify these zoas, thanks

I posted this in the general forum and have received no replies so I’m trying this group (Sorry, if I’m doing this incorrectly.): This is my first post on R2R. I’m new to reefing. I have a 40b with LPS and softies—almost 6 mos old. Everything looks amazing! I’ve never really had trouble with...

Hello everyone, I’m a new reefer and recently bought a tank from a friend. I rebuilt everything and finally filled it over a course of a week. Everything is running fine but my first problem I’ve had is the sump being very loud. It seems to be the overflow pipe running into the cylinder has a...
