advice needed

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...

I am looking at installing the reefmat 1200 that was given to me as a gift in my waterbox 220.6 sump. It has the same sump as the larger frag models and the reef 180. Has anyone gotten this to fit and work with cutting only the sock chamber. Just converted over to a refugium and would love to...

I had a 55 gallon tank with the Ocellaris Pair in it and i eventually upgraded my tank into a 210 gallon tank and later on bought a pair of Maroon clownfish along with their own anemone. The 2 pairs were decently far away from each other in their anemones and the Maroons have started to host...

I've been going to my local fish store for about a year. We've gotten most of the fish and inverts for our 300g from them. The fish are healthy, tanks are clean, and prices are normally reasonable. 300+ 5 star google reviews and 160+ 5 star facebook reviews. A couple weeks ago we were in on...

Hey everyone looking for some info. I recently bought this grafted montipora and noticed its getting some what is very clearly neon blueish color. Is this normal or am i giving it to much light? Par is 220 where its sitting and parameter all look good.(pic 1 and 2 recent, pic 3 when i got it)

Hello everyone, I need some help with my acros. As the lights go on, they look great. Polyps are out and they look healthy. Now as soon as lights start turning off all polyps retract fully. This has happened twice already in the last week but all my other corals look healthy 420 calc 9.0 alk...

Hello, fellow reefers! It's been a while since I did a build, and I've never done a build this large. So, I'd like some feedback and some help planning for this build from some fellow enthusiasts to make sure my T's are crossed and my I's are dotted. Once my plan is set, the build will begin...

Hi there, Attached are some photos of my rock flower anemones. My orange one was a previous resident and was happy and didn't move from his spot. I added the green one on Saturday, close to but not touching the orange one (to make a rock flower garden). Since then, they have both moved closer...

Hi. I’m posting for someone with a reef tank. The tank has a toadstool coral, it’s been in there for a couple of weeks. As soon the toadstool was placed in the tank, within an hour all its polyps had appeared and it was beautiful. However over the last week and a half or two it hasn’t had any of...

I've got a 112 gallon IM reef system sitting in a crate in my living room ready to be set up, 3x3 footprint, and I'm wanting some advice on how many pebbletooth eels I can keep in it realistically. I would ideally like one each of snowflake, skeletor, banded, and chainlink, but I am slightly...

Hey everyone, I've finally decided to get started again after a year of not touching my tank and could use some advice. Around last Thanksgiving while at a tech conference in Vegas, there was a power outage, and my apex for whatever reason didn't kick back on after power returned. I came home...

Hey all, I recently upgraded to a G6 Radion XR15 pro, and I was wondering if it’s would be ok to have the light set for different kelvin throughout the day? What I’d like to do is start the day off at a higher kelvin (probably the full 20k), phase to a lower kelvin over the course of the day...

Hello all, So I’m rather new to reef keeping, and initially I stocked my tank with three damsels at the recommendation of my LFS, which I rehomed shortly after since I wasn’t aware how big and aggressive they’d become. To replace them I got two banggai cardinals and a falco’s hawkfish; I didn’t...

I made a HUGE mistake yesterday when I got my first online order of corals… in the excitement of receiving the shipment, I forgot to temp acclimate and went straight to dipping before putting into the tank… I realized my mistake immediately after but i had already dumped the water the frags...

Hello all! First post on reef2reef, and I'm posting this here because I'm a bit concerned for my new clowns. I'm new to the hobby and set up a tank and let it finish a cycle, ensured ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels were low and safe, and introduced 2 ocellaris clowns into the environment...

so far ive only had freshwater tanks, recently though ive ordered a waterbox peninsula mini 25 gallon tank, measurements are 60cmwidth×40depth×40height, what would be a good lighting option for a tank this size with only soft corals

Hi guys, I finally decided to pull the trigger on setting up a saltwater tank (only had freshwater ones before) and decided to go big (5 foot tank). I plan on setting up a mixed reef with fish. This has always been a dream and I am really looking forward to developing a beautiful eco-system...

Good afternoon everyone! I have decided to take things seriously and as my LFS says, "Become a huge nerd". I made the decision to buy a Salifert bundle and have test kits for Phos, NO3, ALK, Mag, Cal, and pH. I have created a gameplan to test my tank's levels every day for two weeks straight...

I’m looking the way on polyp extension, I try amino it can help on polyp extension. But meanwhile it will raise a lot in No3. As currently my tank parameter wasn’t in stable status, I can’t do heavy import and export. Every time I using the amino, it take some period to lower my No3. And my no3...

Hey all I’m new to saltwater and my friend has moved away so we had his tank and his live rock (around 4kg plus some ocean rock). Everything seems to be going smoothly minus bits on the surface? I’m worried that my water is not getting enough oxygen. Ph is 7.8, Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate all...

Hey guys, looking for some advice here. I passed by one of my LFS today and was looking to pick up a few frags when we started talking, he started telling me about this colony that since they fragged just keeps spiraling downhill. He was taking the last few frags out of it as possible before he...

Hello I have a 30 gallon tank and I have algae. I recently had to quarantine my fish so my nitrates went down. My nitrates are less than 2 but definitely not 0. I don’t have a phosphate test kit, I just ordered one so it should come in soon. Anyways I’m keeping my tank fallow except for...

I'm a member of a program called Amazon Vine where I can request free Amazon items to review. This popped up as an available item today and I'm wondering if it is safe to try on my AIO 20 cube. Is it possible for a device in this price range to safely make ozone? If it won't kill my tank, I...
