Sorry in advance - This is going to be long winded: I've had a lineatus in QT for just over 3 weeks now. When I first got him, I noticed some white around/in his mouth... honestly, I couldn't tell if it was just his coloration or a growth. I decided to watch it before taking any action (he was...

Hello, So i had this small goniopora recently which was accidentally laying on its side on the sandbed for a day or so, i fixed its position uprights and i'm keeping it so if its healthy enough it would bounce back on that small area... Normal inspection tonight on my tank to look for...

I have a McCosker wrasse and a Midas blenhy who have been in QT just over a month together. During that time I fed GC for two weeks, tomorrow will be two weeks in spectrogram, and 4 weeks in therapeutic copper. They have also had selcon mixed in with most of their food. I’ve noticed the...

So I know the answer - but since its common to post a picture and just say 'whats happening?' I thought I would try this out. For those of you in medicine - what's your differential diagnosis/. for those of you not in medicine - just ask any questions you like. FWIW - All corals are fine...

I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped me through the past year! I’ve fought velvet, diano, worms, and Vermetid snails so far! Needless to say it has been rough and apparently I have a lot to learn. But everyone here has been amazing and has taught me so much! I would be lost without...

I recently ordered a trio of scissortail dartfish from DD. I found small white strings on the bottom of the qt tank. The biggest fish has been breathing heavily and has lost his appetite but the other two appear to be doing well. I dosed prazi two weeks into the tank. I was thinking of trying to...

Hey guys, So I've had my clowns for almost a year and I wouldn't say they have officially bonded yet. One is noticeably bigger than the other but the smaller one won't submit. I'm thinking the issue is coming from the anemone I have. The smaller male will host it but the larger female will not...

Hey guys! Wondering who has had experience keeping a yellow coris wrasse? What is their temperament like and what size tank would you recommend for one? Has anyone seen any aggression from the YCW? Thanks!! #reefsquad

hi I have had my cbb for 2 years. I recently noticed that she re gills appear red and maybe swollen. She does seem to be breathing faster too. She does eat normally and doesn't appear to have any other lesions on her. My tank is well established, over 3 years, and her tank mates don't display...

Hey guys! So I'm looking into upgrading my powerhead to either an MP10 or a Nero 5. I have a 32-gallon biocube so I'm worried the nero could be a little too strong. I was thinking about getting it so that if I decide to upgrade one day I'd have a pump I could already use and wouldn't have to...

Hello everyone, I just noticed this thing when i was looking around at night. It reacted super quickly to the light and i thought it "popped" as it just disappeared to a tiny hole in the rock... Had to point my camera on video and finally it emerged again.. hopefully those video screenshots...

I've heard lots of different opinions when it comes to how many fish, or inches of fish per gallon (we're talking saltwater of course). Wondering what everyone's opinion is on the matter and what they think is the best for maintaining a stable reef? just curious!;) #reefsquad

So exciting news.... MY CLOWN JUST STARTED HOSTING ITS NEM!! WOOHOO!! ok so back to the question.. I was wondering if there are any benefits either for the clown or nem when it's being hosted? Idk if I'm making this up but my nem is looking a little happier now that the two paired up. Thanks...

Hi all, I had a JBJ 45 and was running Aquamaxx 1.5 HOB. Its a beast and loved it. But moving to a new place and I wont have that space in the back. So looking for recommendations on skimmers that will fit inside the AIO compartment of the new Waterbox 50 gallon AIO. The compartment size is 4.5...

Hey guys! I'm looking into adding some fish to my tank and I'm really liking the yellow assessors. I was wondering if I could house a pair of them? Have they been known to have any aggression towards their own kind? I think these fish are super cool and it's a bonus that they're captive bred...

Ok, so after neglecting my tank for over 6 months maybe a year I have finally taken back control. I have done two, 25% water changes and removed over and inch (maybe two) thick of hair algae growth over my live rock and added a sea hair to vaccum the bits Icouldn't remove (whom, while very...

Anyone ever put prazipro in their DT? I have corals and two clown fish and no QT.. i don’t want to lose my fish but i don’t have equipment for a QT so my only option is DT. Has anyone every had negative side effects? Tank is 2 almost 3 months old and fish have been in DT the whole time. Believe...

To all the experienced reefers out there - I am in need of your guidance! Totally new to all this. I set up a very basic QT for my corals about 6 weeks ago and have my first set of frags in x 5.5 weeks. The frags are mostly zoas, plus one spearmint stylo, and a CB mind blowing paly. All have...

So i started my first saltwater aquarium in July. I have debated on doing this but hey why not. R2R has helped me a lot in the short time and maybe doing this will help others and maybe me too! So i have a biocube 16g. Nothing to special. I have always loved tropical fish and now that I’ve got...

Today I noticed that my hooded fairy wrasse wasn’t swimming around in the tank. When I found him, he was wedged deep between a couple rocks and I thought he was dead. Then when I tried to get him out he darted under the rocks into the sand and buried himself! This wrasse is always swimming...

Hey guys!! quick question.. Will a pink-streaked wrasse eat pests? I've heard of them eating flatworms but what about mites and that sort of thing? Thanks #reefsquad

Hey guys!!! I'm going to start making my own saltwater since I just got a RODI system and I was wondering what the best way to transfer over to a new salt is? I previously just used natural seawater (what my lfs had), and now want to use Reef Crystals. Any advice??? Thanks sm #reefsquad

Hey guys! So I have room for one final fish in my 32 gallon cube and I want it to be something a little different and special, but I don't know what. I thought I could use some help! I want something interesting and that would add a splash of color. My tank has been running for 8 months now...

Hey #reefsquad!! I've been wanting to add a small refugium to my 32 gallon cube and I love some of your display refugiums. It got me thinking about setting up a little one next to my aquarium. I was thinking maybe a large vase or glass container with a light that can sit next to my cube. I was...

Hey #reefsquad, I noticed my grape coral frag had some of this brown algae stuff growing on it. It doesn't seem to be getting any better so I was wondering what I should do??? Nervous that it will spread to neighboring torch corals so please help!! Thanks so much!!
