Any idea what is wrong with him? I had my fish in quarantine for 78 days treated with copper. They've been in the main tank for about 3 weeks. I stupidly bought more chaeto from the LFS after the quarantine and I think i reintroduced pests. Is there anything that can be done? I'm leaving for a...

Got a couple of hammers showing signs of something. No changes that can be noted alk- 8.5-9 ca- 420s mg 1350+ no3- 4-8 po4 0.04-0.08 Started w one and spread and is confined to a certain area, from the pictures you can see what I’m talking about. These spots appeared over a couple of days. Was...

I have had a goldie for over 3 years and woke up to a serious wound this morning. I'm thinking he maybe got caught by my bubble tip anemone, which is a new addition but it hasn't even opened up fully yet, it has left me perplexed. Just tested the water 2 weeks ago and everything was within...

my tank crashed a while ago and i need to set up a quarantine tank immediately. would benificial bacteria be enough for my fish? They’re in one right now but the water quality isn’t great I did a waterchange about 45 minutes ago and tested the water and the nitrites still seemed to be high. Ph...

This is an urgent emergency there are tiny saltwater ghost shrimp and I cant go back to let them free for a while, I need to know how to keep them alive and raise them. I have not found anything on the web about what to feed new saltwater ghost shrimp, it is all about freshwater ghost shrimp. I...

On Thursday will mark 3 weeks in qt for him, has been eating good and acting normal since I’ve got it. Turn the lights on this morning and see it like this. Not swimming or anything and breathing fine (not fast or slow). Temp is 79 and salinity is 1.026. Testing amonina right now. Any idea what...

I've meticulously Qt'd everything is my display up to this point using the 30 day 2.5ppm copper treatment for fish, or a 45 day fishless system for inverts and coral. 2 weeks ago I added three new additions from one of the well regarded pre-qt'd sites. Now I'm concerned I'm seeing some ich on...

Hoping to get some advice on what to do next for my scratching Powder Blue Tang. Had him in QT for 21 days and did my usual Formalin treatments but belatedly realised that my Formalin bottle is over 1 year old and so is probably ineffective. He started scratching on day 9. Today are the first...

Almost all my fish seem lethargic this morning and are not eating So I have a 150g mostly fish setup. Couple softies but I’ve really been trying to take it slow with corals. I have three fire fish, two clowns, two bengai cardinals, a royal gramma, a bicolor Blenny, a coral beauty, and a...

Clownfish is barely moving, doing flips/swimming very erratically in bursts, breathing really heavy and its mouth is white, so is its top fin (not as white). Ive had the tank for a 1 year and a half, the fish until march. There are no other fish in the tank. Yesterday, it was laying at the...

I have a green ricordia mushroom that’s been expanding a lot and changing it’s placement as it belongs do a sizeable mushroom garden on my sand bed. Right in front of the garden lies my yellow-eyed, red chalice frag (about 2 inches) where the mushrooms sometimes expand and has direct contact...

Hey Everyone, I'm in Orlando and Hurricane Ian is a few hours away from me. I've got everything prepared for my family but now I'm worried about my tank. I know I should have gotten a battery backup system, but I failed on that (I'll definitely have one going forward). Already 400k without...

Having some problems with my tank with parameters out of whack. I transferred both of my clowns to a large measuring cup until I get the issues resolved. I used bottled spring water and matched the salinity from my tank. My parameters are decent for most part except ammonia which is a bit high...

Just noticed my wrasse has some odd stripes that are vertical towards the back of his body kind of like a perch. First noticed today night had for 1 month.

This is day 2 now, and I have been paralyzed in fear...so I know that I'm just a sitting duck here. I woke up Thursday morning and saw a nasty crack in the bottom front left corner of my JBJ 15 gal nano. It has not spread, and it is not leaking. No idea why it cracked, but it has been set up...

Hello y’all! I’ve had a Mini Arctica chiller for a little over two years now. Last night the pump was making a bunch of noise, so I unplugged it and my chiller to look at in the morning. This morning when I plugged it back in, everything turned on fine, except the chiller won’t kick on...

On Thursday, I noticed my Foxface stuck to a Powerhead. The previous day it had been totally fine and eating. I moved it to my hospital tank and observed it for a day. I realized then that it was quite thin and swimming very lethargically and would easily get sucked against the Powerhead that I...

Okay this is a new one for me my piece has detatached from its skeleton and floating loose so now on the surface seems healthy and still eating yet no skeleton what’s the verdict??

Got home tonight and the smaller of my clown pair was looking like this. Could it be brook or velvet? It and all of the other fish in my tank are acting fine.

Noticed white spots on some of my fishes 6 days ago, put them in QT and treated with Ick remedy, high temp, now day 6 and the spots reappeared with a vengeance. Thought it was ich now I am not sure. Might be Velvet?

I’ve had this unit for 3 years. The past 2 months I’ve noticed skeleton. Dipped it with a good response but still showing skeleton when flow is low.

Hi, About 1.5-2 weeks ago I noticed my juvenile male angulatus wrasse losing some parts of his tail. I thought it was normal as he was a young fish and I know they are constantly changing. I thought it was fine until last Friday (8/19/22) I noticed the same happening to my Black Ice Longfin...

Hi All, since 3 or 4 days one of my clownfish won’t eat and only swims/lays on the bottom. I noticed that he lost some weight and he won’t eat. The other clown does eat but doesn’t “look” all that healthy. I manage to capture them and put them in my quarantaine system. I figured it’s most...

I am new to coral keeping so bare with me. I have a GSP frag that has been doing well, but today I noticed that part of the frag had what looked like mold, as well as possibly green bubble algae. Does anyone know what these are?
