confused

I was really excited to get this light for one of my new builds. Just a little Red Sea nano I’m putting together to use as a frag tank. … The Radion is kinda weak par wise. No wonder the schedule puts it straight to 100%. I have a par reader and I Maybe 5 inches below water surface it’s hitting...

hey saltwater fish gang, i was just wondering how inaccurate is the API testing kit? i have a fish tank that i’ve been testing with API but I’ve read from past experiences that Ammonia is usually super inaccurate, but what about the rest? PH, Nitrite, and Nitrate? are those a bit better? I...

So just got back home and I come home to this… my shrimp molted just a few days ago which is why I’m confused and it’s acting strange it’s just on the sand twitching and trying to swim my fish and other inverts look normal… any suggestions?

The first two pictures I took this morning and they were looking awesome very spread out, but when I got home they were both all curled up and sad looking is this normal? one is a Xenia and I forgot the name of the other one

I noticed last night that I've had this issue for months now and I can't figure it out. They claim plugging your heater straight into the apex is bad because of the numerous duty cycles that happen. I purchased an ink bird controller and quickly realized that thing is junk. it couldn't keep a...

So I really need some help figuring this whole coral thing because it doesn’t make sense to me, I can keep zoas/palys no problem I recently added a red monti cap and it is doing fine so far, I can keep Duncan corals as well but every single time I try to add a soft coral like pulsing Xenia or...

This morning I woke up to one fish in my tank. I have or had 2 clown fish but one is gone. It is a quarantine tank so there’s not very much in it. My filter cannot suck in any fish as well as as of the powerhead. Would it be possible for one clown to eat the other. I am so confused. I do have a...

I need your help Reef2Reef crew! In my 55 gallon mixed reef I've lost 3 fish this week. Parameters are Po4 undetectable/trace, nitrates undetectable/trace, Alk 10, Calcium 460. The symptoms are as follows: This is on different days, I'd feed the tank and the fish would eat. First time, Bangaii...

So I picked up a 20 gallon tank that was previously set up with very well cured live rock. I cycled the tank keeping an eye on parameters and it has stayed at 0 PPM for Ammonia and Nitrate. Is this common with a previously established tank? I filled with RO/DI water and used instant ocean salt...

Alright everyone so I'm going to try and be as thorough as possible. Currently running a 30 gal long tempered glass tank with an e- shopps R-100 sump. I'm using the E-Shopps hang on back overflow with my tank and it feeds down to the sump and into both the refugium chamber and the skimmer...

So I just recently bought a coralife biocube and was wondering about the minimum fill and maximum fill line in chamber 2. Should the water be between those lines when the pump is running Or should it be in between those line when it's not? I have mine set up so you can't see the water level in...
