emergency

Hi all! A couple days ago I did a sizeable water change on my tank to help remove Cyanobacteria, and all was normal in the tank was normal for a day, but yesterday evening I noticed what looked like snow on my montipora? It was not there in the morning and nothing has been introduced to the...

Hi guys! Perhaps I am being overzealous but I worried about my Foxface. He is constantly flaring his fins and the upper half of his body is constant dark camo colours. He has also recently shed his slime coat (I assume from stress.). I recently added a tuxedo urchin, a torch coral to the tank...

Hi. Need some help trying to figure out what wrong with my Nyos skimmer. I had it off for a few days. Moved it to another location so i could add my new algae scrubber. When i powered it on, the pump doesnt seem to be pulling any water in and the propeller is moving funny. I already cleaned out...

I just got home from the grocery store and my Mccosker's wrasse is lying down on the sand bed in the back corner. What is happening? He's been eating and active since I bought him from the LFS except for today. It looks like he's breathing heavily with sudden big breaths. All other fish are...

I was on vacation last week while my parents were taking care of my tank, once I got back they told me that the YWG and my Mandarin Dragonet haven't been eating even though the food is up for grabs. The Mandarin is very skinny even though I added a crap ton of pods in my DT, but I transferred...

Someone please tell me what’s wrong with my snail! I have two (turbo?) snails, one is acting completely fine! There’s plenty of algae in here for them too. This one was upside down in the sand last night, seeming to try and grab onto the rock. I moved him next to a rock so he could easily get...

So I just received some new torches and one of them had a fragment of another head attached to it. This fragments appears to be a head that either cracked or accidentally cut down the middle. Is this piece salvageable? If yes, what do I need to do?Or is there more risk of introducing something...

Hi Everyone, so ran into a issue trusting my GHL doser. Calibrated the pumps got all squared away to dose 15 ml of each part daily. came to the tank just now and looks like 400ml of each has been dosed. Not sure why? long story short my tank was running on 8DKH and Calcium 400 has flown up to...

In anticipation of heading out of town for a week, I set up a Jebao dp-4 pump yesterday to dose my ab+ and "all for reef.". I have a 30 gallon nano system and dose about 4 ml of each by hand daily. I calibrated the pumps, manually filled the lines, and ran a test dose by setting the time...

Guys I need help! What’s wrong with my blue tangs eye. I see this slight bulging white silver stuff. It wasn’t prominent yesterday, I woke up and saw this today. It was in QT for 5 weeks after which it’s not in the DT, seems to eating normally, water quality is good. Did a 5 min freshwater dip...

Hi all, Attached are photos of my giant mushroom toadstool (that I've had for 4 years) seemingly spontaneously dying? Parameters are all in check. It started sluffing off skin, now a hole has "rotted" as you can see in the photo. When I move it and pull the flesh off it definitely has a...

Hi all, Just added a pre quarantined Fox Face to my tank. He was turning greyish on the way home and same while I acclimated (drip). He went straight to the bottom of the tank behind some rocks on the floor. Now I can't seem to find him... do I need to worry? Only other fish in the tank are...

My diamond watchmen goby just attacked my mandarin dragonet! He isn’t hurt that bad but he will in the mouth of the goby! His tail fin is cut up a bit but he doesn’t seem too bothered. Will he make it through??? :(

Hi all, A few weeks ago I posted about two of my torches having Brown Jelly, I removed them and put in quarantine and tried coral dips and cutting off the heads, but they died in the end. They did last almost 2 weeks. Today I found another torch dead with the same Brown Jelly, almost two...

Hi, Lately my frogspawn is not as opened up as previously. I just notice on the back of it there is some white stringy/foam like stuff. Any one has any ideas what that is? How should I help it? Parameters (salifert): PO4: colorless NO3: very very light ALK: 8.0 CAL: 480 MAG:1280

Hi all, I need some help, I have two corals in my tank, opposite end to each other and are newish (about 2months new into the tank) and both are not what I would say is "Happy" Both frogspawn where doing well, but then out of the blue have turned, the first just looks bad and now starting to...

I think my clown has velvet. Issue is, I don’t have a quarantine tank. What would you guys recommend I do? Is there a quick type of QT tank I can setup? I have corals so I can't really dose directly in the tank they're in without killing them.

Guys my tank once crashed because of Ich and I lost everything. I cleaned the entire tank out and restarted. I QT my first batch of fish and everything was fine. I got more fish on Thursday and they were put in QT. Someone in my family, put the fish because they looked OK in the main DT today...

Hi all, So I added a couple coral frags to my tank yesterday and today I have come out and my tank is Cloudy, so cloudy I can see anything. I had dipped the coral in redsea coral dip first and wasted off, I had also replaced my GFO, and done my daily dosing with CA, MG and Redsea NO3:PO4-x...

I have all of a sudden noticed a large amount of white critters on my rock where there’s algae and on my glass when the lights have gone out. I’ve dossed copepods before however they never looked like this ... Any ideas many thanks. please see images below tried to get best images in...

My clam that I got a couple of months ago has been all merry and good till like a few hours ago. I came up to the tank and the shell was very wide open, but the skin was retracted and you could even see through one of the mouths to the sand bed. The only sign of trouble before this was that the...

Came in and found no clam on its rock, just what I assume is part of its foot: Found it far away in the bed of RFAs: I have no idea how it got there. The red RFA next to it was almost completely covering the clam until I pushed it over a bit. Now, there is another problem. The clam has...

My engineered goby was living in hus own tank for the last 3+ months until my husband decided to add 2 new moorish idols to his tank. Both idols died within a few days. About 2 weeks later (today), I went to feed the goby while husband updates the DT and find him COVERED in white with "rot"...

One of my clowns keeps swimming to the top of the tank for air every five or so minutes, I believe a baby cirolanid has gotten in its gil/mouth somehow. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can treat or remove this without harming my fish?

I made a post about a hour ago, saying my shrimp was acting weird and it may be stuck molt. Well I can now confirm its stuck molt. I know this is fatal for most inverts. And I have no clue what to do. Any suggestions, I dont want to lose this shrimp. And its turned into a emergency situation...
