What is this freaking algea? Got a tuxedo that does great in my big tank and he barely touches it. I beleive it to be green turf algea but don’t know how to kill it. Please help. It’s growing so fast it’s going to smother my candy canes and white zombies which are my two best corals.

This may sound dumb but today I was looking at my tank before I clean it and I see something I haven’t seen in my tank. I’m no saltwater expert but it looks like a baby star fish. I got the best photos I could but he or she is tiny. I never put any star fish in my tank. So it had too come in a...

Hey all, I’ve had this anemone for quite some time now, but I’m not 100% sure whether or not it has passed on, mainly cause I’ve never had to deal with this before. If it is dead, how do I remove it? Also, any recommendations for anemones I can add for my clowns? Thanks!

I just finally finished setting up my 65g and turned the pump on for the first time. I noticed the flow seemed really loud so I looked in the corner-flow section where the noise was coming from. It turns out that there’s a hole on the underside of the elbow that my loc line is connected to, and...

Hello, I’m curious if this is a new head growing or if it’s something else on my branching hammer thank you !

I’ve had my 30 gallon tank setup for about 3 weeks, everything is healthy and good. But I am going through the algae stage, I’ll clean the glass spotless and the next day it’s covered again. Side question. It was originally brown algae on the glass but now it’s a green algae, does that mean...

I am new to the saltwater aquarium community and just got my first damsel fish. The only problem is it has some weird marks on it. I don’t think it resembles ich or velvet, but am concerned on what it could be and if it is harmful. He also is hiding and not eating food, but it’s only been one...

So this past weekend my fiancé told me she doesn’t love me anymore and I’m back to living with my parents. On the bright side, I’m converting the empty room with much more space in their basement into the ultimate bat cave (I’m very into goth culture) where I’ll keep my nano tanks. I’m also...

I have the eshopps nano skimmer with the stock pump (Sicce Micra) connected to a co2 scrubber, but the pump doesn’t pull in enough air to make the scrubber effective. Does anyone have suggestions on a stronger pump that will fit the ehsopps nano skimmer?

Hi Everyone, I currently have a 75 Gallon standard aquarium that is somewhat a mixed reef aquarium. I am seeing little to no coral growth and I believe it’s because of my light. On my current setup I have 1 single Current USA light. I can’t find a link to it but is 8 years old at this point...

I’ve only cleaned this in tank nano skimmer once since I set up the tank 5 months ago. Ever since cleaning it that one time, algae has been steadily growing in the body of the skimmer, and I can’t get to the inside to clean it. I tried rinsing it with vinegar, but that did nothing. Does anyone...

Hey everyone, looking for some insight for growing chaeto in my sump seems like every time I’ve tried it’s ended up almost like disintegrating. Ive had all my parameters checked multiple times at my LFS, everything came back perfect except my nitrates which are at about 25. Am I doing something...

Hi there, Firstly, I’m new here so…hello! I’m setting up a nano 10-gallon tank and need advice on what to do about my rocks. This will be my third tank, and I’m ecstatic to get things going. Last year, my last aquarium was cut short by my (psycho) now ex-girlfriend. The tank was running for...

My plan is to get a 30-gallon reef started again. Here is the tank I'm thinking of. I wanted something more like 40 gallons that was a long tank that's rimless with low iron glass. I don't plan to have a sump, instead I wanted to have a canister filter with protein skimmer. I wanted to have it...
