Hi!! I have a blonde naso tang that has these spots on him. I have had velvet in the past so I started to treat him with copper power thinking this was the same thing. He immediately seemed very irritated and the spots turned a rust color. I Now I’m thinking he has Lymphocystis, because I have...

Can anyone tell me what is going on here? It appears to be some kind of furry-looking encruster that hitchhiked a ride. I took the best pictures I could, but there is a lot of coralline algae growing underneath, and I'm kind of color blind, so it's hard to tell what color it is. It appears to...

First post. Help me save him! He's been in copper power at 2.00 for two weeks and kanaplex for 10 days. 0 amonia, 0 nitrite, ph 7.9, 1.023. I did a 100% water change when I saw his condition worsening and he now has no medication. It seems to be just his skin. He behaves withdrawn and swims...

tank is fully cycled everything is going well so far, 2 snowflake clowns are doing great. Picked up a debelius fairy wrasse and it’s breathing in a U shape in the back corner of the tank in the sand bed. 40g breeder, only the two clowns. What happened? It was swimming beautifully in the store...

Hi Everyone, new here I already have 4 other corals in my aquarium wich all attached instantly and are very happy. my 2 clowns completely ignore the crispa luckily. So I bought a crispa anemone 3 days ago, and it just doesnt want to attach. I've tried every surface - glass - sand - bury it -...

Hi! I’ve just gotten my 40liter fresh-water tank set up and cycled for a betta and I’ve since added my betta, 6 rasboras, a guppy, and a couple days ago I added 2 mystery snails and a new live plant.

Hello, I need some help in regards to my clownfish pair showing signs of brooklynella. Mucus peeling away from face region, occasional flashing against plastic/rubber parts of tank, frayed/clamped fins. I have a 26 gallon reef with a total of 3 captive bred fishes. Two clownfish and a royal...

Hammer coal deflated and throwing up gray/brown slime. Had it for 3 weeks and was doing fine until I feed it around 5 days ago. Water parameters are in check ✔️. Need some help figuring out what's wrong

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...

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 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...

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...
