advice needed

What’s everyone thoughts on BrsTv Biome investigation? Wow was that some great information. I’m new to reefing but that really has to be pushing the envelope and progressing this great hobby. I would love to see the results of phase 2 but I just don’t have the time to wait 4 months for their...

Does this like stupid? Bottom cabinet will have apex power bar and top cabinet will have 2 DOS. Aquarium will also probably be move over a foot. I’m thinking it might look better with the Hydra 32’s in place also. Any thoughts or advice?

I came across a used RedSea Reefer XXL 625 for a great price and I remember hearing that there were some issues with the older RedSea models stand and support system. Would anyone know if the 625 fell under that category and if that is something I should worry about when looking to purchase the...

Hi everyone. Loving the hobby so far, ive cycled my 20G high with plenty of rock and started adding livestock. Currently i have a small ocellaris clownfish, emerald crab, 2 nassarius snails, a yellow watchman goby, and a few days ago i added a citron clown goby. Id like to describe how my tank...

This is going to be a really stupid question but as my candy canes split should they tissue cover the entire skeleton or just about an inch below each head? They’re around 50 heads now and the tissue doesn’t cover anything but between heads that are close together and about an inch below each...

Any ideas why this single torch head would be mad? It’s been in my tank over a year. All one colony, 9-10 heads. All grew out of a single original head.

Hey guys! I have had a peninsula 38g AIO for about 10 months. I think its time I really put more into the hobby in terms of hardware. I barely have anything in the refugim area other than a media basket with nothing in it and a heater lol. I had some really bad bubble algae and aptasia problems...

Finding the perfect skimmer for my Reefer 350 is proving quite difficult... There is a plethora of options from so many brands of which i have no experience since this will be my first skimmer ever. -Application I need recommendations for my particular application which will be a mixed reef...

Just bout these on the rock and was wondering if the bottom one in picture, will be ok in the overhang in low light…. Will they move if they need to on them selves, or can I peel off and replace? Only been in hobby a year so still new…. thanks

Title says it all. I just started in the hobby about 6 weeks ago, and then had an unexpected and serious job change. I'm feeling super overwhelmed, and definitely don't have the time or ability to maintain the brand new system like I need to. To add to it, I went all in on a Red Sea Reefer...

Hello everyone I’m planning to upgrade my 65 gallon tank to a bigger 100g in the next couple months. I have anemones, fish, coral, and inverts in my 65g and was wondering what should I do? I’m debating if I should leave them in there till the cycle is complete or I’m not sure? Any help would be...

My rock work is an arch. I have detritus and waste build-up in the back left corning and in the center. There is an additional rock in the back left corner that may be preventing some flow. The back wall also gets some detritus as well. 35 gal Waterbox AIO Mighty Jet return pump 500gph-ish that...

Hi all this is my first post on here, don’t know if I posted it in the right place or not but I’ve had my coral banded shrimp for four or five months now with no issues. Healthy molts and everything. Today when I peeked in at him, I noticed that he had either molted over the night or before I...

Hey guys I’ve got a small devils hand and a huge toadstool in my biocube. Pretty sure the toadstool is ok but do the devils hands relsease teepenes that bother LPS? I’ve got a nice torch but it doesn’t seem bothered at all so far. I also run a protein skimmer and carbon and both leathers are...

Like everyone knows reefing is addicting… this is my third attemp with saltwater. Currently have a lps 6 gal pico that’s 2 months old. I’m attempting an sps dominant tank. I will be doing a fishless cycle and will be adding ammonia. Current build: Filtration: Fluval 207 canister with seachem...

I have decided to start adding corals to my tank. It is about 1.5 years old and has been only fish up to this point. I want this to be successful so any advice is appreciated. I have a few questions. 1. Where is the best location and direction for the wave pumps (I have attached a photo of...

Howdy, fairly new here and I was wondering if these corals are reaching for light or they are just growing? They are relatively new and they have propped right up the last two days or so. Just wondering if they are needing more light or something? I'm always paranoid about my tank so any help...

Hey guys, so I have a Fluval 13.5 with a pair of clowns, lawnmower , cleaner shrimp and a fire fish plus cleanup crew and lots of coral. Want to upgrade to a 55/60 gallon tank. Couple of questions. If I get a new 55, would it already be cycled because I have a cycled tank already? (Plus the new...

I have a blue damsel that is starting to show signs of ICH. Been monitoring it for a few days and the spots seem to move and over the last week have increased from his tailfins to the top part of his top fins. However, it seems perfectly fine. Not sluggish eats like crazy blah blah. I have a...

hey y’all! pretty new to saltwater but I’ve been keeping freshwater for a couple years and have a 20g sitting around that I wanna use. I’ve been doing a bit of research but I’m still stumped on how many is too many My stocking idea: - 2 ocellaris clowns - 1 banggai cardinalfish - 1 longnose...

Hey Y'all, In about 3 months I'll be moving across the country from Knoxville, TN to Denver, CO (1,300 – 1,400 miles). I've got a Red Sea Reefer 170 (43 gal). I feel like it’s going to be much too expensive to restart all of my corals and as a result am looking to move them with me. The idea...

Going to be going down to Toronto and wanted to know some go to saltwater stores well I’m down there.

I got this picture from someone looking to trade for some zoas. Is this possibly a gonipora? If so how does one care for them. Never had one before and I need to know everything. Aggression level mainly. If it’s agressive I don’t have room to isolate. Can it go on a frag rack or will it murder...
