Hi my name is Aiden and I have a problem… just kidding, sort of. Hello everyone! To preface I have tried and tried to get out of the hobby a couple times now but I guess I just can’t fight it. I’m meant to glue live animals to rocks and burn money on salt. I’m here to learn from and share my...

I have a 50g long tank. 46'18'18' I was wondering if I could fit a spotted foxface and a tomini tang in the tank, just one, or what would be some different better options.

I heard various things about when should you wait before putting corals in. Some people said that you have to wait and make sure all parameters are good for 1-2 months but I also heard other people that says 2-3 weeks is fine. What are your thoughts on this?

I have a brand new in box (never been used Enaly Ozone Generator (Ozac Plus100) that I bought 2 years ago that I had planned on using but never got around to it. The unit has never been used and I only opened the box today to make sure the unit works (turned it on and verified it produces ozone...

I have a RedSea Reefer 350 v3, I have literally nothing other than the tank, stand, sump and a RODI system that needs new filters, which all need to be cleaned. I'm not trying to get fish or coral in ASAP but definitely want to get it cycling, like with just live rock or something that will...

I am putting together my first reef aquarium. (Not how I wanted to tell you guys) Planned to make my first post with my build. Sadly I'm having a plumbing issue. I have a Maxspect jump 8k. I am using 1inch return pvc pipe. This return came with barbed fittings and I am unsure of what tubing/...

I am about to set up a 75 gallon. I don’t have a rodi unit. How would you fill it? Get rodi from my LFS? It’s about 25 minutes away. What would be the fastest way. TIA

I purchased a 2nd clownfish two days ago and he has had me worried since being in the tank. He alternates between swimming around the tank to laying down in the sand bed for up to hours at a time I'm sure. I have my female in a breeding box because I'm scared shes going to nip at him. He seemed...

Sorry for the bad pictures. It’s i. My fluval 13.5 and I didn’t scrape off the back side of it. You can kind of see it but they look like white webs all over the chamber in the back. Looks as if they’re keeping the chamber clean of detritus in the first one but the second chamber is a little...

Hello, I’ve had my tank up and running since the end of August. Around October I started seeing what I thought was diatoms. They started slow then exploded and covered my rocks and sand. The trochus snails are eating it which is making me believe it’s diatoms but at this point I would think they...

I bought a one spot fox face from my lfs and I put him into my quarantine tank. It's a 20 gallon tank. Is the tank too small? I would say he's about 4 to 5 in.

I have decided to go another direction with my next build. I have a brand new 50G AIO IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 2 I want to sell. It was delivered in late Sept/early Oct and is in perfect condition. It has never seen water (still has sticker on acrylic wall), perfect silicone, perfect glass/no...
