emergency

I have a blue spotted toby that has 'clamped' himself to a rock and doesn't seem to want to swim around. He has never done this in the four or five months I've had him. He's usually right at the front of the tank begging for food when I get home from work. I have fed him a bit heavy this week...

Sorry but need help to access my apex controller…. I just sold my Apex classic few weeks ago and when I opened fusion my current apex dashboard is missing and I have his I think. I thought I deleted it but guess not. Sent him pm but not sure how to fix this. Please help

Hey Reef2Reef! Im currently battling with algae and some other things, and I thought I would explain everything here and hopefully receive some much-needed help or thoughts on my tank. I have chosen to over-explain everything to hopefully not miss anything that could be causing me issues, I...

Hello, didnt plan this to be my first post but.... I would like to start out with some info on the other creatures/conditions so we can narrow down possibilities. All my corals and other fish are fine and haven't skipped a beat this whole time so this isn't parameter related. Likely a disease...

One of my baby clowns who is about 9 months old has been lying on its side and breathing rapidly for 24 hours. See video. I have done a freshwater dip but I don’t think it’s a parasite as the other 30 fish are all ok. I bred them and have introduced no new fish. He seems a bit better than...

I’ve seen other posts on BTAs looking shriveled and/or deflated, but I think mine wins. It’s been like this since yesterday I think. I’ll tell y’all right now I think my nitrates are high (40ppm) and my alk is low (7.7dKH. Don’t hang me, but my tank is only four months old. I know I’m supposed...

Need help!!!! I just tried to move this mushroom coral to a different spot but when I took the plug off the rock it flew into the glass and into the sand. The goal was to make it look more natural and get rid of the plug... It got cut in many places and I found some pieces of it. Do you think...

We went onto the AI Facebook group and got so much rubbish, as in everyone responded saying this and that, but nobody would match advice so we just left it. People said the light setting was bland and basic among other things, WOW it was a harsh ride I tell ya! Anyways the tank is the Waterbox...

Two head Dragon Soul torch lost all of its tentacles but the mouth grabbers/feeders still come out to eat from water column. Have anyone had this happen and will the tentacles regrow from the two existing heads or will I have to wait until new heads grow?

Sorry for the quality but he wasn’t staying still for pic and this was taken super fast. I noticed the spotting on the tail while cleaning the glass of the aquarium and took pic where I can see all the white sprinkled spots on the fins. Moved both clowns to a small 2G QT as an urgent measure...

Just got the fish and noticed some white spots

Hello all! My green BTA wandered into my nero 3 overnight. Completely forgot I don't have a guard on the wavemaker and didn't think to get one when I got the BTA a few weeks ago. He had been sitting under my rockwork for two weeks, wandered out of my rockwork for a few days and moved around, and...

My new puffer fish has a diet of mysis shrimp and I saw him poop out this can someone tell me if he is sick or if this is normal (it wasn’t only these red dots there was normal looking poop too)

Clownfish is looks horrible I have a prazibath currently going right now he doesn’t seem to be getting any better he honestly looks worse

My brother bought 2 red knobby sea stars a few weeks ago, and he’s convinced that one is dying. I know nothing about red knobbies, but I’m sure they aren’t supposed to grow orange spots on the underside of them?? We’ve tested the water, everything seems fine except the “hardness”. We’re going...

Hello. My wife wanted a coral tank, so we converted an existing tank (macroalgae before) into a reef tank. Substrate Was left in there, but we added New rockwork. I treated the rockwork with microbe lift Filter gel, as i always do. And a 100% Waterchange. It's a 100 litre tank true water Volumen...

My tang is now in a bucket with medicine in it. Now it is lying on it’s side. It got ick on it’s body and I don’t have another tank at my house to put it in. I got some medicine that is trash. What can I do!

ORA Mandarin, 1/2 inch or so. Bought a pair about 2 months ago, treated both in copper for 14 days at 2.0ppm, with hanna checker. One has a strong appetite, looking healthy and fat. Feeding daily hatched artemia, frozen cyclopods, and PE Calanus. The other (now sick) one is quite thin. I see it...

Hello! First post on reef2reef, and unfortunately not the best one to make... I noticed this morning that my hammer coral is slightly torn at its base. I attached some images below (lights off). It was not like this last night... I also noticed that this specific head of the hammer hasn't...

Hey everybody, I just got a smaller baby cycloseris I believe. It has about 4 what appear to be red planaria, definitely some type of flatworm, just a sold dark red oval shape. I don’t have any coral dip and the 2 lfs near me are closed at this point. I know flatworms are intolerant to...

He always was swimming around like crazy all day he would always take his evening laps around the tank everyday without fail, and now he doesn't even move when I feed the tank. he just has been laying down on the sand bed not even on the glass or rocks like he usually does he is just sitting on...

Hey guys so I was doing testing last night and while getting my ca,mag and alk back up to my normal levels I think I overdosed and now it’s at 13. (Regularly at 9) my other torch and hammer don’t look affected by this at all. Anyone know what the problem could be?

I have a very healthy pico 5g tank with a lot of coral and 2 clowns that have been thriving over the last 7 months. 2.5 months ago I setup a new 15g IM. After a couple weeks of cycling with bottled bacteria & a live blood red fire shrimp I added 3 anthias from my LFS (there was no detectable...

I just had a white cheek tang get delivered from Pete’saquarium.com and I’m starting the drip acclimation. He’s swimming erratically with his head and eyes out of the water. I understand shipping is hard on them but I’ve never seen this behavior from any tang before. Will he be okay after...
