I have an mp10 that I bought used with my tank and I was wondering if this is going to cause a problem in my new tank I just recently set up. The ceramic shaft is cracked so I plan on heat shrinking that tonight. I’ll post results later today after I get that done. I just don’t know if the...
I have some firework clove polyps that have gone really droopy and the stalks are thin and can't seem to support themselves upright. The bases of the adult cloves seem to be wasting (?) almost. This has been going on for about a month.
They have been sprouting new heads every so often which...
Please help identify what is going with our coral beauty, we have had her for about a month now. Her tail got roughed up I think by another fish but is looking worlds better now. This last week she has been pooping in very long strings, that seemed to be getting better but this morning I noticed...
I set up my new tank yesterday and like an idiot I accidentally left the pump power connector in the water. There is nothing in the tank as i just started cycling it yesterday.I used my multi meter to look for stray voltage and it didnt look like there was any in the water or anything super off...
Ok, So we’ve had a 50 gal for around 6 months and we’ve had a few snails in other tanks for close to 8 months. We started seeing baby snails popping up on the glass in our tank over the past few days, But we didn’t think much of it. Our skimmer had also been acting up recently (kind of like what...
Hey, so i think i get caught, i ve buy a second hand AI Prime 16HD the other day. Everything worked fine for... 1 week.
Then suddenly it began to mess with wifi, i'd come back home and see the LED working at 100% with a deep smell of burnt plastic.
I reseted once, then it eventually worked again...
I have a bubble magus qq1 that’s brand new. I’m aware it needs to break in but when I run it, there’s way too many bubbles. They go to the top of the cup and fill it up and also leak out a ton of micro bubbles. Am I doing something wrong with the priming? I thought when it breaks in there is...
Every fish I add the last 3 weeks mysteriously dies. There’s no signs of parasite or disease on the fish at the time of death. So I had an orange shoulder tang and all of a sudden he has a deep slash on him and he was found breathing heavy in the corner, sadly died hours later. I had him for 2...

I have a clown wrasse that managed to flip over my acanthophyllias, scolys, and any coral on my substrate- flips them upside down constantly. I recently glued them down to frag plates and buried the plates in the sandbed, so it’s harder for him to flip em now, but somehow he still does and he’s...
I made a mistake in purchasing a checkerboard/marble wrasse and wanted to cancel it an hour or 2 after purchasing at around 10:30pm last night. I sent them a message stating this and this is the response I woke up to on my birthday.So... Basically the order didn't ship at the time of this...
Alright, hopefully the video provided a bit of a light-hearted intro to a not-so-light-hearted topic of discussion....Dinoflagellates!!
I know this topic has been beaten to death, however since I gather that it is probably the #1 discouragement and source of abuse for those unlucky souls who...
Help!
We have one anthia who has been in a QT tank since we got her, she’s due to go into the display tank tomorrow. Last night these areas on her fins showed up. At first I thought maybe ich, but the more I look at her the more I think it may be something else.
It’s on both pectoral fins...

I have been using vibrant for about 4 weeks now, it honestly doesn’t seem like it is doing anything, this algae is spreading at an alarming rate and I can not get rid of it, what type of algae might this be? And also does vibrant actually work or is it a gimmick?
I use RO/DI water so that’s not...

Hi All,
Purchased a Ecotech Radion XR15 Pro Gen 5 three days ago as I was attracted not only to the light but also to the idea that I could set a lighting schedule and not have to worry about manually switching on and off lights anymore.
Unfortunately my satisfaction was short lived after I...
