hey guys i recently purchased some zoa colonies and did a hydrogen peroxide dip a little less than a week ago after finding some hitchhikers. when they came back after hiding, they came back a little thin and deformed as you can see in the picture. i am still trying to acclimate them all to the...

So my tank is fairly new and I have been struggling with ammonia spikes, already killed my smallest fish. Im now worried that these coral are completely dead and they too are increasing the ammonia levels. Can anyone verify? The one i think looks the worst is the Dragon Soul Favia and the other...

So I bought my first pair of clownfish about 5 days ago and they paired very easily and immediately. 2 days later I noticed the smaller one was always by the flow outtake and would only swim vertically. I did a water change that day to make sure envy thing was good and while there was less water...

So in my search for the right dosing system I have realized that it will also be important to keep track of tank parameters and dose accordingly more than I am able to do manually. I have a Red Sea Reefer 250 and I'm thinking about going with an Apex system for system controller, testing and...

Hello, i recently purchased 3 zoa frags and noticed that 2 of them had bubble algae. i decided to pluck off the bubble algae outside of the tank (without popping it) but then after reading about bubble algae i learned that if it was already there it will come back if i didn’t completely...

Hello. I’m setting up a 1 doser for silicates . I have 1L containers. Should I dilute water glass with rodi water ? How much should I dilute & dose inside a 5 gallon tank (without measuring rock.) I have my rodi water station so my water doesn’t have silicates. Plz don’t ask why. Thanks have a...

So I have had a jf solar flare frag for a couple weeks now. It’s doing alright and has some pe but there is this weird patch in the back where it’s just smooth skin. What does this mean? Front back Sorry for bad cell pics. I also feel like the coral is not doing all that well in general. Not...

Will this be a problem even if I have a 3 stage RODI system?Literally a couple days before I leave the state my water company hits me with this

So I have a Paly that has grown all over my Rockwork. I want to frag it so I have new room for corals. How would I got about doing so without chopping up my rock?

So first I will introduce you to my tank. 40 gallon Red Sea. I have had it for a year and a half now and have successfully kept lps and anemones. Radion xr 15w pro for my lighting. I am excited to get into the big world of sps and have ordered my very first which will be coming soon. Tank...

I would just like to know what type of sticks you lot have had the best luck with? I have had my tank for 2 years now, and am just starting to get into sps. I ordered a jf solar flare Millie and I’m wondering if I just picked the hardest type of Acro to start with.

So I just had the weirdest thing happen.... I was walking outside to go check on the garden as we just planted some new tomatoes over the weekend and as I walked out my garage, where my Saltwater Mixing Station is located, I heard 3 LOUD BANGS!!! Almost as if someone was pounding on the...

Would really like to get some input from members: Our tank is about 5 months old, we are getting great Coraline growth in the tank but recently we've had a huge increase of green colouration on our rocks. Wondering if this is good or bad? It is not hair algae, not slimy, just color to the rocks...

Hey guys, I re aquascaped my tank today and this evening I noticed my blenny clearly on the brink of death. I felt the most humane way was to put him out of his misery. He had the most unusual spot on his abdomen wall. I cant help but think I maybe somehow bruised him internally while movong...

What do you guys think this large white spot is???? His coloring is good and he is breathing normal

Anybody any thoughts about what’s happening with my Duncan. One head is happy, one a bit meh and the last unhappy. Nitrate 7, phos 0.03, kh 7, cal 440, salinity 1.025

Hi Guys, so this is were I am at at this stage 11/Fev - filled the tank with my Pre-mixed salt water (bough from store, made with RO water ofcourse) , + Fiji Sand I let it settle for almost a full day , after that it was getting clear (photo attached) for the next 3 days I used Fluval Organic...

This morning I did a 25 gallon Water Change on my Waterbox 220(so probably about 160 gallons of water). I am still dialing in my dosing rates, so tested water before and after. After the WC, my Alk was 7.8. My goal was to get to 8.6, so I looked on BRS calculators and dosed about 103mL of soda...

Hello R2R, Hopefully the #reefsquad can help me out here. Last week my french angel that I have had for 4 years randomly died. he was acting perfectly fine the day before. I cam home from doing some running around and found him very lethargic, getting blown around by the flow struggling to stay...

Thanks . Under orange filter.

I have a Waterbox 220.6 that seems to have a few missing characters all of a sudden. I hadn't been able to see my fire shrimp for the past few days--I wasn't too concerned, as he's usually pretty shy. Today though, I noticed that I couldn't find EITHER of my skunk cleaner shrimp at feeding...
