reef tank

I brought in a cleaner crew refresh from Reef Cleaners and they are helping me get this algae under control. Corals are looking nice and fluffy. Just trying to get things back in balance after overfeeding the tank the last month dealing with damsels. I caught 3 of the 6 using the fish trap...

Just bought an adult male blue boxfish (Ostracion meleagris). Was not eating in the store, decided to pull the $200 trigger anyways. Fortunately I have aged live rock which he is actively grazing on. Starting to show interest in fish foods.

Life has got in the way and I don't have the time for it in the near future. Was originally a reef tank, but was using it as a planted tank for a bit as well. The glass is low iron on the viewing panes and silicone is all soft and in great shape. There is a scratch in the glass near the sand...

I just bought a 150gal saltwater build second hand the other day. I will add pictures soon I have to give it an extra good clean to make it pretty. it’s in great condition and you can tell he took great care of it. He had an anemone die and didn’t catch it in time. It killed off the entire tank...

Hey what’s up guys! I’m new to R2R and this is going to be my second reef tank.

I recently took some pictures of my Christmas tree rock, absolutely love this piece! So much bio diversity on a ‘boring’ rock. Bought this rock two years ago when my tank was just three months old. The worms are doing great but some time ago the Cyphastrea on the rock died off. I might glue a...

I was given coralline algae from my LFS. But there seems to be hitchhikers. I’m thinking it’s a chiton. But not sure what else could be on it thoughts? Thank you

Does anyone know why my zoas are curling down like this? I’m thinking too much light because it is in mid center but not 100% sure. Any help would be helpful.

Hi everyone. Out of nowhere I noticed that almost all my LPS corals (except Euphyllias) have small "bumps" of mesenterial filaments hanging around tissue edges, and those edges look like they're slightly swollen or something and like they are receding. It's a large system with literally hundreds...
