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 have a 90 gallon aquarium that came with a built in overflow in the left corner. I removed it a while ago. I am trying to find a replacement overflow, there are holes drilled in the bottom that I would like to be able to use if possible. Does anyone know how to make this work out? Dimensions...

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 I just started up my new tank. As a source of bacteria, I used Ocean Direct Live Sand and Dr. Tim's One and Only for Reef tanks. For ammonia, I used Dr. Tim's Ammonium Chloride. Tank is filled with saltwater at 1.025 specific gravity. Original water is RODI. I added the bacteria and ammonium...

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...

Hi Tried brushing the algae off the toadstool but it won’t budge…. Would you dip it with RX coral dip or will it get rid of it when it sheds the wax? Been like this 2 week.. Cheers

I just set up the red sea reef two days ago and it is going through a crazy amount of the roll and rolling every couple minutes. Want to check if there is something wrong with my set up or anything else. Almost the whole roll in two days

Hey all! I recently upgraded from a 55g to a 120g (4'x2'x2') tank. Been cycling for about a month, ammonia has dropped to zero (or as low as my API test can detect), and I have had my bully damsel transplanted from my 20 gallon FOWLR tank living in the refugium for the last week with no issues...

I'm having low pH issues and it seems to have started after 1 of 2 ways, but I need some professional help figuring this out. I bought an Apex A3 unit mid March and also had Neptune support remotely check things out and all is good. pH before was always hitting the mid 8.2's during the day and...
