I have had my fish tanking going for about 4 months now and although I am quite new to keeping fish I had done a lot of research prior to owning them. It is important to note that about 3 months ago I had what I believe to have been Columinaris which went through my tank and killed all but a few...

Hey all! Looking for some advice here as I haven't really found consistent answers in other threads I've been checking out. Today is May 15 and by the end of June I will be moving to a new place. I'm taking this opportunity to upgrade my tank and have some questions about the process and...

I have had this trumpet for a long time, originally in a pretty low light 5 gal, until about a year ago i moved it to the big tank. Was happy for the first couple months but its condition has slowly deteriorated after a magnesium spike, and magnesium is still a bit high. Moved it to 60 par low...

Hello, The latest introductions to my tank are a hi fin banded goby and what was meant to be a randalls pistol shrimp. While the two have paired, myself and other reef keepers have decided its colours and patterns are much more tiger like — especially with how large it is. (I have attempted...

Noticed my damsel wasn’t swimming around. Found it like this (see picture). Still swims, sometimes upside down. Very lethargic/easy to catch. It is in a “newbie mistake” overcrowded tank, but it’s generally peaceful. I’ve qt’d the damsel and have dosed my tank with Reef Rally Pro. I’m...

Hello all! In one of my tanks, I was building up a collection of Godzilla yumas, as well as about 5 other types of yumas. Seemingly overnight, all of my godzilla yumas looked shrunken and awful, and they have since continued to melt away. Only this one specific type of yuma has been dying. All...

Hi ! I know this thread was already written before, but I didn't find any same as mine ! So thanks in advance for helping! Short description: 20gal AIO, tank run since 3 months and 24 days. Radio xr15 G5, running 10% white the morning only and on blue channel the rest of the day total of 8...

Guys I have a 140 gallon softy/RFA tank and was wondering which product would be best for me and if you could explain the differences between the products. Currently I use marine buffer in my ATO and i started getting coraline algae ( never happened before) This makes me question of Kalk and...

Hi reefers, recently discovered that my purple tang is covered with white spots. It looks very like ich, but the spot is much larger and some of them are peeling off from the skin (still attached, looks like the skin is peeled off). It still eats, and looks fine.

Hi guys, I have noticed that my goniopora has been receding. I think that this sponge might be slowly killing it and overtaking it's skeleton. Do you guys have an ID on this sponge and what can I do to fix it? Thanks!

I have these white worms that appear recently and have no clue that they could be. They appear right after I introduced tiger copopods and feed the zooplankton. I have a hammer coral, 2 clownfish and 2 hermits. I have a 13 galon tank and I'm worried they are a pest... I have clean and dip the...

I have had this lepto for around a month now and moved it about two weeks ago for more flow, i know the lepto got bothered while i was handling it, and some algae was on it, i figured it would improve, but it isn’t. There are now also some strings of white on them around the parts where skeleton...

I have a 20g with a talbot damsel who I think is maturing and turning out to be an butt (yes I know who woulda thunk). It’s starting to kind of target my bar goby when it’s swimming near his rocks. I was wondering if there’s a fish I could add to disperse the aggression perhaps like a royal...

Hey everyone I bought a sunburst BTA a couple weeks ago and he was doing good for a week or so then a couple days ago he started moving and then settled under a over hang and he is now opened all the way up and I’m not sure if it is normal or if I should be concerned, if someone could help it...

I am hoping that someone can provide me with some insight on this issue. My torch coral is about a week old to this tank and I have noticed some of the flesh is receding. In the pictures you can see the white skeleton showing where it is receding. Tank parameters below : Nitrate - 10 Phosphates...

I just added some clownfish 2 days ago. The tank is cycled and ammonia is now at 0, nitrites 0, nitrates ~5, salinity at 1.022, and temp at 77. Based on my research this could be brown algae since the tank is super new, Around 1.5 months old. My concern is diatoms vs dinos, and how to tell...

Hello to make a long story short my 50 gallon aquarium broke during moving. I have a 90 gallon that I'm trying to move everything into as soon as possible. I have 40 gallons of water from the previous tank as well as about 80lbs of live rock and a very large amount of sand from the previous...

Hi all, I recently started my tank 1 month ago, and once cycled I added two juvenile, captive bred ocellaris clownfish from my LFS (one black and white one, one gladiator). The black and white one was slightly bigger, and was instantly more aggressive/dominant towards the gladiator. I know that...

I don’t understand why I am having trouble keeping LPS alive in my tank. The common theme I have is I purchase a new coral and it initially is fine, however, they typically slowly decline over a few weeks and I watch as more and more skeleton become exposed and their flesh starts retracting. I...

I have a newly cycled reef tank, 30 gallons in size, and bought 3 chromis just a week ago. Two died almost instantly with physical symptoms that resemble uronema. I have one still alive, but it also has symptoms now. I'll show pictures. What are my options? I don't have corals or inverts yet...

So picked up a lawnmower Blenny as my first first in my newly cycled tank. I have attempted to feed him both frozen brine shrimp and Nori but I can’t seem to catch him eating either. I have my nori clipped maybe a little to high but I didn’t think it was an issue. Is there any other food people...

I was told that my clownfish looked skinny so I’ve been feeding them more. do they still look skinny? and how can you tell when they are?(I will put the picture on replies)

I am pretty new to saltwater and recently bought a bunch of frags for some pretty good prices. I would appreciate the help identifying them.

Hello dear Community I wanted to start up the aquarium today and rinsed it with osmosis water, but unfortunately the edge of the aquarium bumped against the bathtub. A crack has formed (See Pictures.. (third pic from the downside)) ... now my question... the aquarium still seems to be...
