I plan on creating a LPS and Soft coral tank, maybe throwing in a couple SPS later on if it a successful tank. I am doing a lot of research, and have found many suitable tankmates, but I never know what to choose. What would be the best group of fish or type of fish to get (there will be a lot...

I have been studying non-stop, trying to find the best combination of fish, COC, filter, equipment, and coral for my 32.5g bowfront reef tank. I have not started it yet, but I plan to in the next month or two, so more time to study lol. I stumbled across an article saying the Gold Assessor...

I have had the issue of my fish getting stuck in my filter. First it was my small ocellaris clownfish, so I attached a piece of fine mesh over the filter (I have a AIO filter from fiji cube) but yesterday I noticed my diamond goby was nowhere to be found. I looked in the filter and he was...

Hello everyone. We are about 1 month now into the hobby and made a list of fishes we would potentially like to have. We obviously know a lot of these we won't be able to get but would like your opinion on what we can or should not get, problems they may cause or alternatives. Now we do want to...

Hey guys I have a 40 gallon reef tank set up and it’s almost out of the cycling stage. I plan on keeping hardy corals in there and adding them once the tank is about 3-6 months old, or at least after the algae bloom stage is over. I am thinking of adding the following fish: - 1x Clownfish: I...

So I do believe I have a quoyi parrotfish. I have had him for over a year now and never really had any problems with him untill recently. He doesn't pick at any corals thankfully but he's become a bully ever since I got a upgrade from 150 to a 300g. All the original fish that were in the 150...

Strapping together my first SW tank and I’ve been composing my (at the time) fish list. The tank will be 4’ long, 22” deep and I believe 30” tall. Sand sediment and likely 90lbs or rock. I made up this list with things in mind such as what fish I would love to have and what has a utilitarian...

I had a velvet outbreak 8 weeks ago today that killed off all my fish unfortunately, I’ve been fallow since then but for some reason had a green hair algae outbreak as well as spikes in ammonia, my phosphates , alk, cal, nitrates, ph are all well within recommended ranges I’ve been able to take...

I recently purchased a wheeler gobby and tiger pistol shrimp yesterday. This was an impulse buy and not on my original list… so here is my question. On my list was a diamond watchman gobby. Can I still get him or do I need to cancel my order? See below for the beautiful pair, I couldn’t resist...

Wondering how many fish you can have in a 32 gallon biocube that won’t be too heavy of a bio load on my corals. Currently have a clown and a six line wrasse but for sure wanting to get a yellow clown goby and a yellow head jawfish. Would like more fish then that but feel like that would...

Hey all! It’s my first post so hopefully I’m using this right. I have a 60 gallon reef tank- mostly softies- with nearly a dozen fish. I was looking for some midwater colorful fish I could add to the group. Here is what I currently have: 2- tomato clowns 3- blue green chromis 2- spot blenny...

Hello, so recent I have had a bit of an aphasia problem. I have tried solving it with aptasia X but to no avail. Recently I saw I white spot on my one spot fox face rabbit fish. It was a spot on the false eye spot of the fish. At first I thought this was ich. However, when I took a closer look...

Hello everyone! I’ve been in the hobby for around only 6 months, I started with a 75 Gal with only 4 fish, but now have a 75 gal and 125 gal. I want a new long term setup for both of the tanks, I most certainly want coral in at least the 75 gal. I am considering clownfish only I’m the 75 gal...

Hi all- I purchased this blue tang 2 weeks ago, it was picking at rocks, and eating some emerald entre + pellet. Recently over the past week, it has been hiding in 2x places total and "playing dead" i dont believe it has eated much sense. I havent noticed any white spots either. I did not QT...

Hi all, I've got a 65 gallon tank that is 36"x24"x18" (LxWxH) and I'm looking to add a couple wrasses. I'd like to get an African exquisite fairy wrasse, but on liveaquaria they say you need a 90 gallon. In contrast to this, I've seen a minimum of 50 gallons being recommended. Can anyone let me...

Hi all, just a post as I can’t find much on it online. Is it possible to add new fish or corals to a tank that has a Dino outbreak? just curious thanks

I recently purchased a 65 gallon Red Sea tank on Offerup. The owner was including all of his livestock along with the tank. One of the fish included was a fairly large blue tang (about 6-7 inches). I understand that he is likely too large for this tank but I had no choice but to take him. What...

What worms would you recommend for a CBB? I’ve been feeding a small amount of dried blood worms/flakes/pellets mix twice a day and in between my fish get a variety of frozen foods, clams, mussels, shrimp, cockels etc. my CBB won’t take food from the water column that I can see but it does forage...

Hello guys, I'm new to the saltwater world, and I would love to hear some suggestions about which fish should I put in my tank, I already have a pair of clownfish and a shy juvenile yellow watchman goby (hoping he gets a lil bit more brave as he grows, if you have any experience with that fish...

There was a living fish inside my mysis pack! I want to take care of the little guy if possible, but I have no idea what living conditions he needs. He's been in a fridge for who knows how long and somehow survived, so I guess it's cold water. Would it be ok in a reef tank? I tasted the water (...

Hi, I was have a 30 gallon set up. With a six line wrasse and a canary blenny. I really have my heart set on a dragonet but don’t wanna make that purchase if they don’t get along. Would they be peaceful if I add one? Thanks In advance!
