I've labeled this as an emergency because I'm aware that in a nano tank, like my 22-gallon setup, a dying coral can significantly disrupt the balance. Over the past few days, I've noticed my torch coral showing signs of distress, leading me to administer a dip treatment. Following this, the...

So recently I decided it was time to upgrade my 40 gallon reef system to a 60 gallon reef system. So far everything looks amazing. However I had a random ammonia spike. I used to not have a skimmer or media reactor till now. The system had been running for two years! So it’s very well...

This evening I noticed that clarkii is hanging on a side with puffy eyes and discoloration.. not sure if same is happening with hippo. Attaching pictures.. asked a great guy at lfs he recommended seachem metroplex but all the lfs were closed so I grabbed melafix from PetSmart and dosed along...

Hi! I’m a newer hobbyist when it comes to saltwater tanks and about two weeks ago I got my first coral. It is a pulsing Xenia and for the first few days I had it it was beautiful. However I noticed it began to shrivel up day by day till I noticed aptasia growing around and on it. I got a...

Recently I’ve had some bad bleaching events and I’ve filled off a lot of the reasons why corals could of bleached but I need help with one more! Dose this schedule for kalk dosing look like it’s working becuase I’m not 100% sure that’s I’ve been actually dosing kalk from my reactor into the tank!

Hello, I consider myself as a beginner even though I know a lot but still get confused easily. So with that being said today I did my test like always.. and my nitrates came out to 25 on my nyos test kit… and then for my Hannah checker for phosphate came out to .84 and there isn’t any algae...

Hello, I been having my rainbow BTA for quite some times now, since I had it. It has never split, now last night when we turned off our lights it was still intact, but in the morning when I went to go check out the tank and turn on the lights there was two! I always feed them everyday, but...

I just got this blenny from a place that supposedly quarantine after catching fish. Are the little spots ich or maybe sand? Its coloration because of stress? The photos arent very good but its the most i can do rn. I dont have a quarantine tank.

Hello, I got a new clove polyp as it ws suggested to me as a beginner (because I don’t have too much time on my hands to spot feed other animals) but recently this has been happening to my coral if anyone can help identifying what’s going on I would appreciate it

My old bulb broke now I got a replacement and it’s doing this, what could be happening?!

We had a massive butt nitrate explosion, so I had to do a major tank change and I’m not sure my name is dying. Please help or if it’s just stressed.

So today I noticed that my pair of clowns have this pinkish marking on the same spot on top of their back could this be a sting from the torch they are hosting ?? Or should I be worried

I got my first leather only a few weeks ago. At first it opened up quickly and seemed to be thriving and now it’s closed and has detritus covering it. I leaned my wave maker more toward him to keep any other detritus off but it just kept getting worse. Now it looks like it has some bleach spots...

Hello, so i got some acros, crazy t monti, forest fire monti, staghorn and a red digitata a month ago and they are still alive but lost so much of their color, i really dont understand why. I also have a red plating monti that slowy lost most of its color, a neon green montipora confusa that is...

I noticed this morning that my smaller clown has some white spots on him. He's still very active, eats enthusiastically, and doesn't appear to have any breathing problems. No other fish in my tank (another clown and a Lawnmower Blenny) have these markings on them and no one is acting strange...

I had a huge ammonia spike yesterday, I still have no idea what caused it. Treated it with reef fraction until I could buy some sea water and change it. Got the ammonia under control then the ph and alk dropped, corrected that but my corals are still dying by the minute. Is this a delayed...

So recently (29th of Jan 2023) I managed to get my hands on a dragon soul torch head (which was splitting). The torch coral was very healthy in the reef tank of the original owner. From the second it was placed in my reef tank the torch coral never fully extended. First call of blame was...

My purple tang recently had ich and I’m currently still treating my main tank with kick-ich pro. I did a water change and a lot of my fish died! I’m left with my tang and a clownfish. My butterfly fish seemed like he had burnt skin, my other clownfish randomly died and my cleaner wrasse just...

So I’ve had a amazing toadstool coral for about a month now and it’s been doing great but around 3 days ago it closed up and fored this brown film on specif parts of it. Just today the waxy brown fill is gone leaving behind white patches. The toadstool is in a very good flow area (I like to see...

My return pump keeps putting in these micro bubbles and I can’t figure out how, the pump is fully submerged in the return chamber and is hard plumbed in. All my plumbing has glue on it and I turned off my skimmer and every other rice of equipment and it kept making the bubbles. I’m very close to...

Tank overflowed becuase of my HOB and i thought it was becuase of the air pump but the pump is working perfectly fine, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys, it's been a while. I did a water change yesterday approx 15% and everything looked perfect until today when my partner sent me a photo of my prized catalaphyllia which appears to be detaching from the base, iv had this animal for around 12months and I feel like crying. As you can see in...

I have been in the hobby for 10 years now. I have been battling nitrates since I moved into our new house which has well water. I initially thought that I grew out of the Reefer 250 so I upgraded to a 120 display and a 35 gallon sump. Still have nitrates around 100. The new tank has been up and...
