Curios where people recommend to buy larger frags or colonies online. I’m about to add to a nano tank for coral only and looking to get some larger softies for instant gratification. Some sites like blue zoo aquatics sell larger sizes. Has anyone had any experiences with them and are the they...
I currently have a 4 bulb t5 fixture and it’s great for getting the job done. Grows my corals well and lights the tank up. I don’t have the money to upgrade to an led set up but want to get more of fluorescent from my corals. What is the best lighting that I could add without breaking the bank...

I recently received a new coral for free after buying a new Prime 16HD, Trying to figure out exactly what this coral is since I'm new to saltwater.
I currently have a EVO 13.5 and have the prime mount 10 inches above water, Any tips for acclimation mode and Lighting programs? I have GSP, ORA...
Hello, I'm in the process of reviving my old fowlr tank and trying to convert it to a reef tank. I see the general consensus is to now ignore the old "inch per gallon" rule when it comes to stocking the tank, so what is a realistic stock list of forgiving and hardy fish/corals/inverts for my...

I got some new corals today and I cant remember what they are called. Can anyone help? The first one had arms out in store but closed up on the way here.
Thanks!
Hello all, I’m new to reefing and I have started off my journey with a Red Sea Max Nano, all is going very well!
I bought my first coral yesterday which is the torch you can see in the photos, I think it’s happy?
Anyway, it’s come on this big black square frag plug which doesn’t have a stem...
Hey everyone,
Hope you're having a good weekend.
I'm curious if anyone has a good idea what lens I could use on a Huawei p20 pro to take pics in my aquarium?
I have a few favias now, and I keep them at the bottom of the tank, In relatively high flow. Is this bad for the coral? If so, how much flow do they like?
Hi team,
Just noticed this little fellow growing off the side of my Acan frag's skeleton looking for ID.
Frag has been in the tank for about a week and a half and I've just noticed this fellow in the last 3 or 4 days or so.
Any ID's or recommendations?
So I have had this hammer coral for about a little less than two months, I had to rearrange my tank because I had to install a overflow for my sump about a week after that my hammer started not opening all the way and it looks like his polyps might be shrinking, I have already lost another...
Hi everyone,
Just a question if it is normal for a Wellso/trachyphyllia to open up this way and not fold all the way like a brain. I just got this from my lfs 3 days ago. In their store, this guy was massive and fully fluffy. Mine is still fluffy but not fully folded :(
my Calcium is 450...
Hello Reefers,
I just got back into the hobby a few months ago and wanted to know if my INDO frogspawn (left pic) looks healthy/normal to you? I feel the tentacles are super inflated. All my other LPS corals (torches and hammers) looks good. Should I be worried?

Hi, I always googled for answers about anything that had to do with my new aquarium (and hobby) but I couldn't find anything that looked how my coral does now, I bought a red sea kit and all the chemical levels seem fine, salinity and temp are fine too, I did try and relocate it once and it...
So I just purchased my very first blasto, I drip acclimated and dipped now he is in the tank, is this picture normal? It looks like he is squeezing stuff out like little greenish yellow things, please tell me this is normal

I’ve been struggling with this colony for nearly 3 weeks now. About a month ago, these heads were beginning to split, which they did. But seem to have never recovered, and now I’m worrying about polyp fallout.
When I feed about 2 days ago, the bottom head perked back up and looks half normal...
Hey all,
I've got a growth growing between my two hammer heads and I'm not quite sure exactly what it is. It could potentially be a sponge, as the coral doesn't seem bothered by it at all. The heads stay open all day, I only found it at night doing a flashlight inspection on the reef.
My...
