Woke up to my BTA looking like this today. It’s been looking a bit rough and I’ve been keeping an eye on parameters and staying on top of feeding it. Other BTA looks great. Is this one too far gone and if not how can I help it?

Hi guys I’m in an emergency please help. I need to know which medicine to give my sick Tetra if they can’t swim well and continually gasp for air (not on the surface) don’t tell me that clean water is the best medicine because I’ve changed the water 3 times this week and they’re not getting...

The day before yesterday, Gem got stuck on the heater... Her fins are better now, but when I was feeding them today she couldn't quite swim up to eat the flakes. The flakes float so her buoyancy when trying to eat them wasn't the best. So I gave them another portion. I thought she ate, but she...

Hey guys, I was wondering what is going on with our tang. The redish spots happened about 5 days ago. We went to our LFS and they suggested Rally Pro treatment. It is day 4 and the redness has dropped but it is getting white spots and starting to not want to eat. I love our boy and don't want to...

Something probably tries to eat my rose acropora :mad: AEFW? 3 and 2 weeks ago I introduced new acroporas from LFS. As usual, dipped them in both Brightwell Coral Dip and TropicMarin Coral Clean. I guess some eggs still have survived? Few days ago and yesterday I saw a flatworm around 1/4" on...

I cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on. See below my ICP results which came back today. Manganese through the roof. I have no idea why. I am too devastated to even post pictures of the corals. This tank receives regular water changes with red sea blue bucket. i’m really...

I’ve had this tank running for about 4 months and the lights have only been on for about 5-6 weeks. I used mostly CaribSea Life Rock and a couple pieces of live rock & CaribSea live sand, which is the same thing I’ve done in my other 5 tanks. Never had the uglies like this. I think I have at...

Hello I am looking to purchase a used Apex controller. I have an apex on my bigger system and love it but am now looking for a system to run on my nano tank. Thanks so much. I live in Cincinnati Ohio.

This all started with my speckled krak it went from open and happy to shriveled on the brink of death in about 2 days time. All my other zoas are quickly following and idk what to do, I’ve already dipped them in coral rx and did a massive water change and it keeps spreading. The odd thing is...

I purchased a carpenter flasher about a week ago. At first it had a hard time adjusting but then it did just fine. It was eating well. Now it’s just lying in the corner of my tank. I tried feeding him today and he didn’t even flinch. I have no clue what’s going on with it. Any thoughts?

I need some emergency recommendations. evidently my first rear Waterbox filter chamber got clogged. Water has been spilling over the diverter. For some reason the third chamber has been low ( still investigating why) and my spouse woke me up and said the Osmolator has been running off and on...

Just used Phosphat-E for the first time. My phosphates had been OK (.03-.05) but then added an auto feeder (Plank). Fish love the auto feeder, but phosphates started creeping up. At 0.09 I decided to add a little Phosphat-E to lower it. Unfortunately, I misread the directions and what I...

Unfortunately my tank is suffering from a STN event to a red montipora cap that is slowing spreading to the Digitata that it touches. It potentially started as brown jelly to one of my gold hammers but can't be sure. I was hoping this would be limited to only the cap and took measures yesterday...

Received a lta I bought online and within 24 hours it’s spitting clear slimy substance out of mouth it’s dripping tentacles and guts are outside of mouth I really don’t want it to nuke my tank tia

Recently purchased a small High Hat, he's doing fine, eating and swimming around in the TTM bucket, but his tail is rotting real fast. I had dosed Kannaplex and Stress Guard into the bucket, today is the first day of dosing. Some of my friends told me that this kind of tail rot is very lethal...

I have a huge colony of birds nest and it has been thriving and growing for almost a year and a few days ago I realized that one of the branches was pure white with no polyps, and today there was a little algae on it so I went to blow it off and no joke a bunch of “green dust” or polyps come...

Hello fellow reefers, I am in need of your expertise. I used chemi clean about a week ago he had some redness on his skin(didn't take picture). I have done two water changes since, one a 30% and another 20% three days after. Is this possibly just stress related because of everything. He still...

Hi Guys, My name is Berg and I have a serious problem. Back in November I started my first reef tank, a Fluval Flex 15, and rushed it. I have been keeping freshwater tanks for as long as I can remember and have kept some incredibly difficult and complicated fish and invertebrates so I thought...
