    About 2 weeks ago I moved all of my corals from my 20 long to my new 50 gallon system. Parameters were the sam and I adjusted the lights to the same par value the corals were used to in the old system.

    Stylophora Problems

    I bought this Purple Stylophora (I assume it's a Stylophora) from a neglected tank 4 weeks ago. Base was brown and skeleton was showing on several branches. I cut off bad areas. Here in my tank it is not getting any better, maybe even worse? Tips are still fluffy. Branches still have some flesh...

    Is this green boring algae?

    My bird’s nest appears to be rotting from the base and turning green. There also a spot where some weird hair is growing out of it. I did some research and it looks like it’s green boring algae but I’m not sure. Is fragging the only way to fix this?

    Lepto experts needed

    Does anyone on here know if I will be able to grow a jack-o-lantern lepto on the same rock as my Mr. Freeze? I spoke to a vendor at a coral show locally that said some of them will grow side by side fibe and some will try to murder each other. Will these two be ok? P

    DIY HYBRID LIGHT FIXTURE

    I wanted to install a hybrid t5ho led light fixture above one of my smaller grow out tanks just to see how it affects growth patterns and the growth rate of the corals in this system. Nothing fancy by any means but I’m happy with the look. Two 24” t5ho light fixtures running ati coral plus...

    Birdsnest bleaching? Recommendations welcome

    Hi fish people, I got this wwc green birdsnest a few months ago and about a month ago it started bleaching. Maybe six weeks at this point. This is my first coral that's started doing that so I was slow to react. I've lowered the light intensity and the time the lights are on. It's still slowly...

    Birds nest acro unhealthy?

    Hello all, my friend bought me a birds nest acropora two days ago. It doesn’t look too healthy in my opinion so I am concerned my tank isn’t up to snuff, the rest my corals are really healthy and growing just this one isn’t (or maybe I am just overreacting) My tank parameters are as follows...

    What’s happening to my bird’s nest SPS??

    I’ve had this gorgeous green bird’s nest SPS for a few months now. It’s mostly been plush and healthy. Recently, I noticed it’s looking different. A couple parts of the tips look boney. Is this a sign that it’s growing or is it unhealthy? Not sure if there’s too much light. It’s been doing...

    Color coloration issue possibly due to low nutrients

    I have a plating monti that has turned peach over time. My purple rain has also had some color loss over time as well. A few things have changed. My mother passed 6 months ago and I neglected my tank. In other words, I neglected to feed my corals(reef roids) and dose amino acids (reef...

    Higher alk waterchange?

    I am looking to change out about 10 gallons in my 90 gallon reef *88 gallons=tank+fuge* housing some expensive sps frags. If my current DKH is 8.2 and the DKH of Reef Crystals is 13 would that be too much of a change? I did the math and doing a waterchange would add about .5 DKH for 10 gallons...

    Help-my sps aren’t surviving!

    So I thought I would start adding some sps into my tank which has been up for about 2 years. I’ve kept sps in my old 20 gallon with success, but upgraded my tank. I have some montipora, zoanthids and frogspawn that have been doing well. I couldn’t resist a live sale here on R2R so I bought 8...
