So I’m moving and want to take my hobby with me. Sort of. I’m keeping my livestock, and I have moved with fish cross country before and feel comfortable with it. That’s not my problem area, I’m really torn on my actual aquarium. So I’ve had a Red Sea 250 set up for a while and I don’t exactly...

My Scorpionfish (I believe he's a Scorpaenodes Brasiliensi) has had what looked like a little fog in his eye for a little over a month, my lion had the same little bit of cloudiness and it disappeared on its own so I didn't think much of it. My params are perfect 8.2ph 0amm, 0nit, minimal...

I’ve had my 30 gallon tank setup for about 3 weeks, everything is healthy and good. But I am going through the algae stage, I’ll clean the glass spotless and the next day it’s covered again. Side question. It was originally brown algae on the glass but now it’s a green algae, does that mean...

I purchased a 14g pre established tank a few weeks ago it has 2 clowns some hermits and a snail. I Introduced a emerald crab and a Sand sifting starfish. I have started noticing these white strings everywhere connected to rock and even some in sand. Based on my research it seems likely they are...

I have had this pair of clownfish for about 10 months, and they have been doing well until lately. My male clownfish spends his time around the wavemaker, or in the spot shown in the video: He eats fine when its time to eat, however he then spends the rest of the day at the wavemaker. At...

I was cleaning my tank and I moved my favia away from my anemone and my instincts said too look under because I thought I saw something, it was what I believe too be a bristle worm. Looked about 5 inches long. Looked like a centipede. I want it out but I don’t want too mess with it nor do I want...

At the beginning of this month I moved back to my parent’s house after a breakup. Before the move I had pretty much no algae in my tank but about a week afterwards I started getting brown hair algae all over my rocks and now it’s getting out of hand. Nitrates and phosphates are both at 0 and I...

Hi everyone, I bought a Nearpow timer outlet for my Plank autofeeder yesterday, but apparently I programmed it incorrectly. It stayed on for 40 minutes instead of the intended 18 seconds, feeding a mix of Reef Jerky and Reef Roids. I installed the autofeeder in the return section of my sump, so...
