Hello fellow reefers, I’m reaching out for help dialing in the chemistry and filtration balance on my 65-gallon Waterbox AIO mixed reef tank. I’ve been working hard to stabilize parameters, reduce algae, maintain water clarity, and support healthy coral growth but I’m hitting some roadblocks...

Hello! About a month ago I was struggling with Dinos, but my tank bounced back and is doing so good now, noticeable coral growth. However, bubble algae has started to take over, some of which looks to be growing on top of some corals. I have been manually removing it about twice a week, using a...

I have been maintaining my saltwater tank since 2009 and have greatly enjoyed it. It has been a lot of learning and a lot of struggle. I have a 90-gallon tank with 2 Cardinals, 1 Clownfish, and 1 Royal Gama. I also have some corals and a clam. For the most part, everything has been nice for the...

So I recently moved all my corals into my larger system finally, and turned my nano reef into a macroalgae tank that I’ll be putting dwarf seahorses in. I finished all the macro scaping last week and this was the final product which I’m really satisfied with Pretty quickly the macros began...

Hey Guys! Im having some trouble with Macroalgae in my display tank. So, it started about a year ago. I just came back from living abroad, and my dad took care of water changes and basic maintenance. There was a lot of algae that i got rid of. It took some months but it eventually worked. Now...

Hello R2R, I have a lightly used AquaUV Classic 15W with 2" to 1" unions. This UV is guaranteed to work and was tested on a Reefer 250v3 with custom return pipe and Apex COR15, getting 220gph at the 35% range. This is an ideal UV for anyone that wants to control or manage pests while also being...

I posted a thread not too long ago about this but it’s gotten a lot worse since then. I’ve cut down on feeding, and I’m scraping and picking out as much as i can every day but it just keeps growing!! Any suggestions pls lmk! P.S. I will be upgrading to a 65g soon so the larger body of water...

At the beginning of this month I moved back to my parent’s house after a breakup. Before the move I had pretty much no algae in my tank but about a week afterwards I started getting brown hair algae all over my rocks and now it’s getting out of hand. Nitrates and phosphates are both at 0 and I...

located in silver spring, md want to get your nutrients under control naturally and use a proven brand at a huge bargain? here's your chance this is the larger of the two which I only got because the smaller one makes cultivating the algae/getting it out pretty tough. this one has a nice...

Good day reefers. I have this brown (under blue light) greenish (under white) algae that is growing in my tank, particularly under my rockscape and on my power heads. I dont think it is Algae, but thats why I am here asking. My params are stable (although my PO4 dropped from 0.3 to unreadable...

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post this and get some thoughts. I’ll begin with what’s going on, about 2 days ago random huge algae bloom. Water is a murky green tint. Really thin algae grows on the glass overnight and during the day. No algae on rock work. Maybe a little bit of diatoms on the...

I just returned from a trip and discovered a lot of long algae in my reef tank. Could you help me identify these and advise on how to get rid of them? They are damaging my corals and clam. Thank you!

Selling 2 bottles of Dino-x Dino treatment, 250ml size. Purchased to treat a dinoflaglette outbreak. Didn’t use bottles were never opened. Will ship. (Extra)

My tank is getting overrun with what I believe to be dinoflagellates. I know small/new tank syndrome is probably part of it, but is there any way to get rid of it? I heard that raising nitrates and phosphates could help, but that’s a scary idea to me as I have some sensitive animals in the tank...

TLDR: Does bubble algae go away on its own over time? Since the beginning of my reef I was plagued with, in different stages, hydroid jellyfish, pineapple sponges, flatworms, and cyanobacteria. All of which managed to completely go away over time. Even the cyanobacteria completely disappeared...

I have been experiencing a massive phytoplankton bloom over the past few weeks after doing a big clean of my rocks This has gotten so bad to the point of reducing my tanks visibility to < 3" and is starting to take a toll on my mainly photosynthetic corals I have tried big water changes but...

This looks like green hair algae, but would like confirmation before I start treating the wrong thing. Also, based on the images and info below, what you would recommend I do to fix this? I have a 13.5 gallon tank (Fluval Evo) that's been running for about 3 months. I started with dry rock...

Hey reef team, I've got a 25 gallon innovative marine AIO tank. I've been dealing with a bit of hair algae growing on my macro algae, as well as a ton of bubble algae growing on the rocks and frag plugs. I just tested my parameters and currently Alk is 7.5dkh, Ca is 750, Phosphates are 0.0 and...

I fought the good fight with GHA and won. I also discovered I was bottomed out with Nitrate and Phosphate. I'm dosing Phosphate and Nitrate now so I can hold .05ppm Phosphate and 3ppm Nitrate. It was amazing to see my coral perk right up. Anyway that's another thread for another day. Now I have...

I started stocking my tank with some beginner corals. I have some GHA but nothing my CUC, fuge, and tang cant take care of. Everything has gone somewhat smoothly other than my mistakes(water on floor in various rooms smh). I recently got a frag of GSP which was doing well for fist couple weeks...
