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...

Recently purchased a yellow watchman goby and shrimp combo put them in the tank two days ago and haven’t seen them since. Only two days have passed should I be worried I haven’t seen them??? I know they have made a cave already! After adding them (two days ago) I got my water tested and my...

Hey everyone, I picked up a warpaint scoly last weekend at Reefapalooza Orlando and only noticed afterward that it has a chunk of flesh missing, which seems to be worsening each day. I already gave it a 6-minute dip in Revive when I brought it home. I have a couple of questions: 1...

I have this coral here and I noticed it is starting to get a white layer in the middle. I lost one smaller coral before when my tank was not ready for them. This tank has been up for 1 year. Should I be worried? Not familiar with LPS yet and would really appreciate help learning.

My new blue spot puffer has been in the quarantine tank for five days. This morning he had these three white spots on the right side of his belly. What is it? How can I treat it?

I have a 180 gallon (6x2x2) and am looking for lighting options. Looking to have a mixed reef, mostly SPS. What would you recommend? I know with the xr15’s it makes more sense over the xr30’s, is that the same with kessils? I’ll probably supplement with (2) 6’ Quanta bars. I currently have a 90...
