My fish are shipping from ORA to my LFS about an hour away. I have asked the lfs to not open the shipping bags or add the fish to their system. the plan? — prep new salt water & bring to temp. Temp acclimate fish. Add the fish to the new salt water in buckets & drip acclimate to match ph and...

I'll be getting the first clownfish for my tank from someone who is quarantining them for me and they informed me they ship their fish in water between 1.024-1.026 and has ammonia blockers in the bag. I know that when I open the bag, the increase of oxygen will raise the pH which will also raise...

Hi all I have a 300 litre tank with sump that has been running for around 6 months. I currently have a royal gramma, and two small Ocellaris clownfish. I am looking for suggestions on my next fish or few future fish. I have done some googling but articles online seem to disagree with the...

Hey everyone! I need a new fish for my 60 gallon for biological purposes. That being said, I would like this fish to be a utilitarian fish to keep alongside my 6 line wrasse. It is likely that this fish will be moved to a 135 gallon in a few months. The tank is bare bottom and has little live...

I’m wondering if anyone has tips about how to quarantine dragonets. I am in a fallow period right now and will be for awhile but once I am out of the fallow period, I will be purchasing two dragonets. Ruby red and a Spotted Mandarin. I have a great quarantine system up and running right now, but...

I am working on automation right now so haven’t been able to add anything cool.. anyone have any cool new fish or coral pics to share?? Btw - automation meaning apex Neptune components..

Just sitting on this cold night admiring our fish. Just picked up a few new guys and gals and they’re happy little fishes. What have you added recently?

Hey guys just to make sure I am doing this right and got my mass right as I do not want to kill any fish. I am using this for a quarantine tank that I have set up for some new fish that I got who look good but Wanna qt still. I am looking to treat 7 gallons and want to read 2ppm? So 70 drops...

I got some new clowns two days ago. They’re tiny. Maybe 1.5” long. They don’t seem to want to eat much they just wanna cruise around the tank at full speed. I’m feeding the same food the pet store I got them at fed them. They’re frostbite ocellaris. Is this normal? Short video of the clowns...

Wanted to share a few pics of my new baby purple tang!! He is eating and has made friends already!!

We got 3 bangaiis today and put them in qt but we have no idea if they’re m/f/both. What do you think?? I put a coloured dot to represent each one if that helps I’ve looked at a bunch of pictures but can’t figure out the whole vent thing. I tried feeding them to see if it would help but they...

I got a Whitetail Bristletooth Tang from LA's Diver's Den. It arrived yesterday and I put him in QT tank. It swam around for a few minutes and then has been hiding in the PVC ever since. I kept the lights out and so I didn't get to observe it all that well, but I didn't notice it breathing...

Hello everyone, I'm looking at getting a Reefer 625 (133 gallon tank, 32 gallon sump) and would like to stock it with the following fish below. I plan on having a protein skimmer that can handle 175 gallon heavy bioload. I know that not all these fish will be added right away since some take a...

Hi, I've added 2 cardinals to my 450L tank, they have been in there since Saturday, and this AM I noticed that one was looking a little raged. Now I've watched fish A attacking (the now raggedy) fish B. What should I do? They are all that is in there atm, will this stop once pecking order is...

Have had this tang in quarantine for a few weeks now yesterday I noticed one little spot on it that looked like a scrape now today it looks like this. Any help would be appreciated so I can get this guy fixed up. Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 10 ppm Salinity 1.024 Ph 7.9

Hi All! This is my first post; I’ve got the tank up and running and it has been cycling for the past 2 weeks, its only resident a now delightfully bloated (dead) prawn.... and some Dr Tim’s. The tank size is 450l and I'd like people’s recommendations on what order to add the below fish in. They...

I recently purchased an ORA Snowstorm clown. It seemed to have an issue with its swim bladder upon arrival (not being able to stay buoyant) but after the first 24 hours that had gone away. Immediately upon introduction it paired with the ocellaris I had in my tank (the only fish at this point)...

I traded some frags to my LFS and used the credit to get a new fish. (Currently I have a 6-Line wrasse, coral beauty angel and a black clown in 30g tank). I picked up a platinum clown. I asked the guy how he think she'd do with my black clown I have had for a year and he said as long as the...

I am in the cycling phase of my Red Sea Reefer XXL 750. While not a monster, it is 200 system gallons and should be able to support a few tangs. While I sit and daydream of my stock list, reading how to do it right, I see over and over again that one should add all of the tangs at the same time...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get the Reefer 625 XXL which is a 132 gallon tank (not including the additional gallons in the sump). I'm putting together a wishlist of fish I want to include (fish only tank with live rock), but I'm not sure if I have too many fish/invertibrates: Cardinal fish...
