I've just started my first reef tank and about 3 weeks into the cycle. I am now encountering a problem. there is brown filaments growing all over everything. Its growing over my Xenia and Macro algae's. My emerald crab seems to have taken some interest but is very slow. What should I do? PS no...

Hello everyone. Fellow reef nerds. I have a rock with, well please have a look at the photos. Does anyone know what I am dealing with and how to eradicate it? Whatever it is, it is ticking off some of my Zoa's. The brown algae looking stuff, the white wormy guys, and anything else you see in...

Hi all, My tank is about a year and three months old and I got dinos for the first time--bound to happen at some point. I think the clear culprit is that I let my nutrients bottom out. I'm in the process of dosing and feeding more to raise the nitrate and phosphate. However, I also wanted to...

Trying to figure out what’s been growing in my tank and how I can hopefully remove it there’s a picture of it and any help would be great

Good day everyone, wondering what way I should go about getting rid of this algae. Tank has been running for just over a year. Crashed once and killed everything except zoas. Current parameters are Alk-8.9 Mag-1500 Cal-500 Ammonia-0 (sailfert) Po 0 Temp 78 One gallon water changes every week...

Hi every I bought this purplemushroom frag from my LFS about a month and a half ago and since the last week or so there has been a crazy amount of algae growth (mostly on the frag). I do change my water every week and a half and do top ups every 3 days or so, there is algae growth on the live...

Hello everyone I got this wild torch from coralkingdoms.com and it came and I dipped in coral rx as I do with all my corals before putting them into my display tank. A few weeks later I noticed this algae growing on my frag rack and on that coral so I redipped all my torches and cleaned the...

Hello can i start with saying Im new reefing and new to Reef2Reef :) I have been keeping freshwater fish for about 3 years now. I decided to make the switch to saltwater i believe in March 2019. I have had a FOWLR tank since then. I recently have decided to move forward with corals. A buddy of...

I’m new to the salt water community and need help identifying if this algae is a beneficial algae or a bad algae in my tank. It looks like little puff balls.

I have brown algae growing is it a bad thing or good it’s growing on the bottom and the glass not just my dry rock?

Looking for some help with this algae at least i think its algae not sure what it is.

I'm having issues with this alage and identifying if it's an algae. I'm using an algae scrubber which is pulling out phosphate right now. The tank is several years old and is usually trouble free. The scrubber eliminated all the algae before and now I'm not sure if I'm over scrubbing. Sorry...

Hey everyone so let me explain what’s going on. I have a pic to show the terrible gha. I’ve neglected it for a good month or two and obviously it’s gotten a little crazy now. My options are. 1. Taking everything out scrub the rocks normally, and scrub the bottom floor and do a big water change...

Hello reefers this is a 40 gallon cube tank with a 15 gallon sump. The tank has been up since the end of November and I'm running into this brown algae. I have an ai prime 16 running at 75% of the ecotechs spectrum. Not sure how to get rid of it. Thanks

Hi I’m new to aquariums - things going well so far about 3 months in. The corals I’ve added look alright & my fish are happy. One of the rocks in my tank is covered in green algae (SEE PHOTO)... I don’t mind the look but I’m wondering if this is something I should be fighting against or to just...

I have done everything I know to get rid of this stuff. Is this cyano? Second; after 3 complete cleanings, 5 water changes, filter replacements, upgrading power heads, a 48 hour blackout period, cutting feedings to every other day and cutting the lights back to 5 hours a day I can’t get rid of...
