Hey all! Been cycling my tank and it’s been all good up until the last 2 days. Nitrites are at 3ppm and nitrates are at 40. Nitrites had been consistently falling from 10ppm until yesterday. My tank processes ammonia in about 24 hours when I dose it up to test which I did for the first time...
In all my years in the aquarium world, I've never struggled with fish disease like I am right now. I'm in unfamiliar territory right now.
My display tank has what I believe is a bad case of Ich. It's been coming and going over weeks. I thought it was reducing but came back with a vengeance...
Hello everyone my fish have all been in QT with copper power 2.35-2.50 ppm and nitrofurazone for the last 31 days. Since I had an ich on my purple tang so took everyone out. Currently in the process of setting up a new 125 gallon for everyone. I’m pretty sure copper never dropped below...
Got this anemone probably a month ago and my two clownfish have just started to rub against it. It was full of tenticals and now starting to look a little bare. Is this normal or is the nem unhealthy?

Is this nesting behavior? She’s never shown a bit of interest in the sinularia in over 2 years. Now she’s hosting it like it’s an anemone and has a particular interest in the little hole in the middle of the zoathids. She’s even pecking at some of them. She’s also a giant ****** when you put...

My clownfish recently became more interested in my torch coral. Yesterday they started swimming through it and nuzzling. I was aware that this can potentially kill the torch so I was considering adding an anemone if the clowns started to do this. Unfourtentally, I'm now a week away from a trip I...
I purchased a 2nd clownfish two days ago and he has had me worried since being in the tank. He alternates between swimming around the tank to laying down in the sand bed for up to hours at a time I'm sure. I have my female in a breeding box because I'm scared shes going to nip at him. He seemed...

I’d like to add more clowns to to 72 in addition to the two that will be moving from my 30. Is this possible? If...
