newbie help

Hi all, So my chemistry was going well after cycling new tank in December 2021. It was my first aquascape attempt, and was in the middle of the ugly stage so I was doing a clean. During the clean, I knocked the top rock off and it almost crushed my torch and conch snail. Because I didn’t...

Hi All, I am relatively new to Saltwater and would love some assistance with my current situation. I was a little excited with the cycle and did have lights on including white for some time ( I have learned since then). Can someone please assist in identifying the algae growth and let me know...

Hi hi! Just got my 30 gal. cube up and running, it's been cycling for about 8 weeks. All of my levels are coming out at zero. Snails & hermits are doing well. I introduced a two-spot goby (Mr. Harold), and he's king of the castle and seems super happy. Last night I "accidentally" brought home 2...

Hey! Bought my red sea nano (second hand) and its ready for water and to begin the cycling process. Plan is to fill up this week. I've got the Dr Tim's products to start the cycling process. I've got dry rock rather than live rock. Will upload a picture later, but just looking for tips from...

I have posted a few pics of my tank on here and I’ve gotten a pretty general consensus - it doesn’t look mature and I don’t seem to have enough algae for my pincushion urchin. So I’ve been leaving the white lights on for most of the day, only the blue at night. More algae started growing but...

Is there a way to make wave pumps safer for smaller fish? I have a smaller YTECH 6W wave pump that works for my 30gal, but a banggai cardinalfish (maybe 1" long including tail) got hurt after he got sucked onto the side of the pump and was stuck there for an unknown length of time (it was...

Good evening, This is my first post to this forum so here's to hoping everything goes well! haha I've been wondering why my tank hasn't been doing too good for the past 2-3 months. The corals have basically been retracted and slowly dying off for the previous time stated. my current tank...

Hello - I have had my 1500 Cade setup since December and to be honest, I am struggling. I have had some livestock die for no reason, but for the most part, all of my fish are thriving. My corals are touch and go - some of the harder ones to keep are growing strong and some of the easier ones...
