Hello everyone! I am kinda new to corals and reefing and am having some trouble with my corals. I don't know what is wrong because my parameters are perfect with nitrate being the only thing that is a little high (by high I mean that it's like 5). I have also been testing my phosphates and those...

Hey guys new tank set up here, i got a Waterbox 15 peninsula. So far the water has been cycling for 3 days straight, i have had a couple days already where i had to add some water because the pump was running dry. I am assuming that it is evaporating? either way the water is staying clear and...

As I said in the title, I don't have a saltwater aquarium, but I am seriously thinking about it. I want a 20 gal high tank, and I can't get any tank bigger than that because I live in a retirement community and that's their limit. With that said, I do have a fundamental question. Which would be...

So lately ive been having some issues with my reef tank. I switched up my rocks and disturbed the sand bed too much. My nem died, and a lot of other corals in my tank. Im new to reefing so quite honestly i made a newbie mistake and basically "started over". Fast forward my nitrates nitrites are...

I bought a shell that had a few polyps of utter chaos zoas on it. A few months later a new zoa that was most certainly not an utter chos sprouted a couple polyps. I have been trying to ID it to no avail. Can someone identify this zoa?

Hey @Reef Breeders! Can you give me a little par information about this light? https://reefbreeders.com/shop/reef-nano-led/ I have had this light on my IM NUVO 10 since November. I don't have a par meter, nor do I have access to borrow one. I currently only have softies in the tank, but...

I have a 20gal reef tank that's doing quite well after I started adding foods to them. I was just curious if anyone has tried alternating foods? For instance every Friday I feed my fish with Mysis, then I add polyp booster/Reef Roids which I highly recommend and then I do my water...

So I will start with a list of fish I plan to have for my 24g nano reef: Clown pair Black cap basslet 6 line wrasse These are a few I want to add, I also want a goby for sand sifting, but would also like to add a pistol shrimp because I’d like to see them pair and watch how they work together...

Two weeks ago I made the worst mistake to date when it comes to my nano. I went to dose my iodine (Lugol's) and did 2 drops instead of one. Then I dose double the amount of trace elements. I had planned to do a 20% WC the following morning. It seemed to be too late. My zoas, green stars, lepto...
