I just got some frags in yesterday. And one of them was an acan. I have a filefish but I have been watching him hard because if he disides to turn on my acan it's just a small frag. I have seen him bite it once. It did not cause any damage. My question is I went to sleep and I saw a head of the...

I have been deep in the hobby for several years now and I work at my local fish store. Even my coworkers and boss do not know what is wrong with my tank! Parameters of tank- 0 ammonia, alk around 7 ish, nitrates almost 0, phosphates less than .1 (tested using salifert brand) *id like to mention...

my fiancé and I started a new reef tank, we have 2 clowns, 1 cleaner shrimp and 3 bluer leg hermit crabs in a 29 gallon tank. Everything was thriving until…. Yesterday we got a diamond goby and a Midas blenny fish. The fish seemed really stressed and I fear my fiancé rushed the acclimation...

I'd like to think that I'm a fairly intelligent person. But either I don't have the right part or I'm not the baby Einstein I believe I am. Lol I cannot for the life of me figure out how to run these four lights down to one connection on the power supply. I have added pictures to show what I...

Bought two Kessil A360WE lights brand new from BRS 3.5 years ago. Both lights are connected to the same controller in series. The light in the video has begun flashing like crazy during ramp down. The other works perfectly. Anyone experience this before? Possible solutions? TIA!

Hi guys I’m new here and I have recently brought home a branched hammer coral and I’m having some trouble with placing in the aquarium and potentially the skeleton so I have placed the hammer skeleton into a crevice that is surrounded by a over hang (underestimated how large their tentacles...

My leather which is quite large starting getting a whole in the center and loosing tissue. Now it just seems to be getting bigger. Any ideas or what I should do thank you! Parameters are all fine everything else is very happy. Last picture is what it looked like before.

Hello I’m nee here because it’s actually my husbands hobby but I’m freaking out so any advice welcome. Earlier today he removed a large rock with these zoas on. He broke the rock as it came out and we didn’t think anything of it until about 2hours later his eye started to burn and itch. It...

This question has two parts: 1. My first tank (40 gallon) has been running for about a week and a half. I've seen lots of change in my nitrite levels culminating in a spike last night, however my ammonia and nitrate have been borderline undetectable the entire time. Is this normal? 2. I...

I own mostly Zoas, and I’ve never seen this before which is why I am asking about it. So one of my zoas I have had for roughly 7 months, and it was always been doing amazing. Just in the last couple of days, some of the polyps are stretching much more than usual, and they are shrinking up at the...

Anyone know what this coral is? I picked it up two days ago from my LFS. I asked if they knew what it was. Two people looked at it and both did not know. Seems to be encrusting. Many tiny polyps coming off of the coral. Yellow in color with bright pink mouths. Thanks!

Hello, if anyone could help figure out if or what’s going on with my eel buddy here. Some notes are that everything else in the tank are doing fine, I had a little ick trouble a few weeks ago and since then moved the affected fish to a copper tank. my water parameters are fine. Is he just being...

Hi everyone, I have recently added an SRBTA to my 20 gallon AIO. The nem looked healthy when receiving shipment and did well during the acclimation process and has found itself a nice spot in the rocks. I have a RedSea ReefLED50 and will attach a photo of my lighting schedule below. I’m a little...

Hi guys! Back in the area of my old high school, and I’m setting up a small saltwater tank as well as a larger neocaridinia shrimp tank to stay in my bio teacher’s classroom for future students to look at. I want to say it’s a 3 gallon container but I’m not too sure. It has the crappy little...

Doing the Dr.Tim’s fishless cycle on a new tank. Added the bacteria and 4 drops of ammonia per gallon. Waited 24 hrs tested my ammonia, it is at 8.0 on the api test kit. Is that crazy? And what should I do obviously don’t add anymore ammonia?

Just removed a frag of nuclear green palys after finding out how toxic and invasive they were. One was stuck to the rock pretty good so I pulled on it and it excreted brown juice which I believe to be the toxins. I took out all that I could in the water but that process stressed me the f out...

Can someone explain to me why my favorite zoas in the tank would be doing this umbrella like thing. It’s the only zoas that are doing it and I have over 8 different frags. I’ve turned up the lights a bit and it just seems like the 2 other polyps started doing it too. Don’t wanna lose these guys...

So just lost my trachy. Thought it was because pistol shrimp pushed it into favia. Now favia losing flesh. Not sure what's going on. Already pulled it out and dipped in iodine but it looks like it's still spreading. Any suggestions?

Hello there! So I just started cycling my aquarium, a fluval 123l (32.5 US Gallons), used dead rock, Caribsea Ocean Direct Natural Live Sand and a bottle of Dr Tims one and only, thrown 130 drops of Dr Tim's ammonium chloride (4 drops per gallon) and 6 days after I'm with 0 Ammonia but 2ppm...

Hi all, about 11 weeks ago I had my tank wiped out by what we think was a bad case of ich . I am coming to the end of my fallow period and I am going to buy some fish again. I have come up with a stock list and would like opinions on compatibility , tank size being okay , etc . And any...

I have a 50g lagoon that has a ‘pair’ of ocellaris clowns and some mollies. Was wondering if its possible to add two pink skunk clowns in there or will they fight? I have a clay pot on one corner that the occys use, and im thinking if i add another pot on the other end and hope the skunk clowns...

I don’t know what happened, fish eyes are now cloudy and underneath whiting with a pale coat. I did some research and I believe it’s brook disease but I’m not 100% sure and even if it is, it’s 12:38 am and nothing is open what can I do? And is this the disease I’m looking at? Please help, thank...

Hey all! Need some help IDing a zoa I picked up at my local fish store. It caught my eye in the misc section for 29.99. It has a decent amount of heads on it too! Let me know what you think! PS: I don’t really care about names, but curious to hear what you think. I’ve been reefing for 15...

So I have a 135 gallon with two ocellaris clownfish, there about 1 inch current (I realize this is small) would it be possible to either: A) get a blue jaw trigger fish that’s a juvenile or would it still be too big and potentially you know? B) wait till the clowns become full grown and then get...
