I rescued a tank this weekend that is 4 years old. The previous owner probably checked out of the hobby a while ago. The tank was full of GHA and he has 3 black widow BTAs. Inside I found one that was attached to the underside of the return nozzle. It was completely flat and blowing around like...

Hello, I just bought a pair of ocellaris that are about 3 inches. I have them in a Fluval Evo 13.5 and I’ve been feeding them prime reef flakes until they get full, twice a day. Am I over feeding? I am assuming that the fish is full when it eats a flake and spits it out. The male doesn’t eat...

I have a Neptune Systems Automatic Feeding System. It included the 15' Aquabus cable. Its works as it should and I just pulled it out of service a couple weekends ago. $60 + $5 shipping

Hello Reefers! I need serious advice on how to handle a long trip, with a new-ish reef tank, that is doing very well... but not "3+ weeks-with-no-water-change-or-dosing" well... 20 gal long, 4 small fish, snail/hermit CUC, soft and LPS corals. I am currently doing a 30%-50% water change once a...

Hi everyone, I got a Scooter Blenny for a few months now, since October to be exact, in my 20gal waterbox. She is doing amazing, always hunting for food but eats also very well frozen artemia. She always even swims to the top by the spot I drop the artemia in. I also have tried to feed her...

I’m a student studying marine biology and in our lab we are performing respirometry on stingrays to measure oxygen consumption and metabolic rates at increased temperatures. This is being done on neonatal rays (eventually) and juveniles (currently). My issue is, I’ve just got 2 juvenile Atlantic...

I currently have a 20g IM AIO fully cycled for about a month now, total water volume is 14.5g. I've been currently been doing four gallon water changes weekly because my Nitrates were tad high. Last Sunday I did my normal water change and tested today and I am showing zero nitrates now. Would be...

Hi all I have just purchased a very greedy Firefish who I have been feeding twice a day! I do 8 small pellets in the morning and 8 again in the eve, I also drop in 2/3 flakes as the hermit crabs and nas snail go crazy for them so like to make sure they have enough to! How often and how much...

Hi all, I have had my sea horses (erectus) for about 7 weeks and so far so good. I wanted to ask for advice and do a “gut check” on my approach to feeding. i have those frozen Mysis cubes, and frozen enriched brine cubes. in my 33 gallon tank I have : 1 lawnmower Blenny (who is kind to my...

I have homed in my vinegar dosing to 60ml a day. This deals with 6 cubes a day plus some mysis rs flake and spectrum pellets. I tend to feed in the evening and wondering whether this is causing very high nutrients and low the rest of the time. I was spreading it out to 24 times a day through a...

Hello all! First post on reef2reef, and I'm posting this here because I'm a bit concerned for my new clowns. I'm new to the hobby and set up a tank and let it finish a cycle, ensured ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels were low and safe, and introduced 2 ocellaris clowns into the environment...

Hello, I been having my tank for 3 years and like any tank my sand gets brown, and I got today a pink spotted watchman goby!! So cute! I done research on their diet but I wanted to know what are ppl feeding them and how frequently and does anyone have one that lasted more than a year? Thank you...

Have a healthy long nose hawk that refuses to eat frozen (mysis), fresh (reef nutrition roe or pods), or any pellets/flakes. He devours small live feeder shrimp. I’ve tried garlic and mixing things up. Any suggestions from the pros on how I can move him over to frozen or fresh?

Hello Everyone I have a new BTA and I'm planning on feeding it soon. My local fishmonger sells a marinara mix of seafood which was recommended to me. these are the ingredients. Can I feed it or should i use the mix before feeding it to get rid of the flavorings? Basa Pieces (34%) [Farmed Basa...

I got this off of fishtanks direct. I’m posting to tell everyone that it’s A USDA grade ‘A’ piece of absolute Shi*. If you can claw and bite your way through the imposible to open packaging, your left with a 2 cent, thin cheap piece of plastic. It slips off the float, the tangs are scared of...

pictured are my kryptonite candy canes they seem to be enjoying the new food! I wish they would split. Anyone know the optimal conditions to grow these faster?

So my button scoly decided to deviate from its normal diet. I noticed the other day it had a huge lump in it, I had just added a bunch of nassarius snails but I thought "no way, they are way too big and the lump isn't big enough." I was worried though, it was a big lump. Today the culprit has...

I have a watchman Goby, he’s been in my Fluval 13.5 gallon nano reef tank for 2 years now. Initially with 2 clown fish, now with a single clown fish (the female clown became very aggressive and beat up the male until he wasn’t able to survive in a span of a few days, about 6 months ago) the Big...

Hello Reefers, I would like to share a video that I shoot 1 hour ago while feeding my Mandarin Dragonet. Everybody was asking about how I feed my Mandarin on social media. Here is the answer. Bonus:

Hey fellas, hope your holiday weekend is treating you well. I’m planning to start the process of building a 15g nano reef w/ fish after a couple year hiatus coming from a fresh water cichlid tank. I have very little experience with saltwater tanks so I am doing my due diligence and researching...

My clownfish have been breeding again recently so I figured why not make a go of it. I've got rotifer cultures from Copepods.ca (I think it's the same company as Copepods.com in the US) The bottle of included phyto is labelled high concentration, and the only directions say to add 1-2 ml per 200...

Hey folks - for the first time I fed my acros reef roil today. For some reason my 8x8 rrc firework started spitting out long gushy stuff - - anyone else has experienced the same ?

Hey everyone, I went to my LFS yesterday and saw they had a tiny yellow goby, I knew it wasn’t a yellow clown goby because his body was slightly wider and eyes were smaller, I thought it was similar to my black barred circus goby, so I asked to see him eat and he didn’t seem very interested but...

I don’t know how old he is but he’s lost almost all of his juvenile look, only a small portion left. I have been feeding nori sheets and he seems to pick at it. Got him a couple days ago. He also seems to pick at clams and possibly eat most of it. (Haven’t been able to tell yet. I see the meat...
