reef tank

I found this small orange snail in my tank this morning. He would have originated from some live rock that was acquired through gulf reef live rock. Thanks as always for your help!

Hello, Does someone know how much water a fluval 406 canister filter holds?

Hello, Does calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and pH parameters affect anemone growth?

Hello, My magnesium is at 1395 and calcium 420 and 9.6 dkh. I know that magnesium level is high. Since calcium and alkalinity are attracted to each other to cause calcification and magnesium is to balance out the process of that, can that high of magnesium cause calcification to be slower?

Hello, I am wondering how to raise my pH from 7.8 to 8.1-8.3? Can someone please list the methods to do this with instructions, possibly with links?

Hello, My anemones colors are not as colorful as these in this picture: This is what my anemones look like, they are colorful but not like these. My camera is not good so that has some to do with the colors in the picture, but they are not as colorful as these. Here is a picture of my...

I did this build years ago then after a few years and a family tragedy, left the hobby for 3 years. Last summer I got back into the hobby full force and even upgraded my system. Here is my Pictorial story. Doing design, building all the acrylic tanks and sump, woodwork building, staining...

Using an ipad to show video of random fish on a reef, I was able to stop the bullying from existing reef dwellers during the first crucial hour of introduction of this yellow wrasse. Notice how the mass of fish refuse to go beyond the center of the tank.

Kinda stuck on what fish to add next. I know I want new fish but no idea what I want. I upgraded from my 55g to a 80G with 40G sump and just wondering what to add next. Current Stock in Main tank: Yellow Tang Cleaner Wrasse Red-lined Wrasse Blue Star Leopard Wrasse Watchman Goby + Tiger Pistol...

Hello, I was wondering if someone can help me design this virtual reef tank? So when its time to add fish and corals, I will not have any lost fish or corals. I will be making decisions based on opinions. I already have some equipment so I will be using what I have. The tank is a 30 gallon.

I see in some peoples pictures the lights look white in the tank. Can corals grow this way or do you think they just do it for the pictures?

AYO! Seriously interested to know what you guys think of this tank? Personally, I think it's creative and awesome, however I have seen some people hate on it saying the aquascape is not for them :/ Thoughts? (details on this tank are in the YouTube description, just click on the video link)

OK. So my fiance and I split back in June and when I moved out I left our tank with him. Fast forward and I finally realize that he hasnt been taking care of it and now I would say 75% of the corals and fish that were in there are dead. I am super upset about it and now I need to nurse what is...
