I got a Japanese Swallowtail Angel a couple days ago at my LFS and I just noticed it has a little white dot on one of its sides. It doesn't LOOK like ich to me but as a new reefer with no access to a QT tank this is potentially a nightmare scenario. Is it ich, and if it is, what steps can I...

Looking for help on how to deal with this disgusting biofilm. I don’t even want to put my hands in the tank anymore, because when I do (or when I put anything in the tank, for that matter) they come out covered in these disgusting brown specks of stuff. It’s been a problem since around the time...

Emergency. I have lost a couple large colonies of SPS and a massive chalice that I’ve had for years. It seemed to start when I had a large SPS colony break off and when I try, I couldn’t get it to be in the same exact spot, and it slowly started dying off. Then I noticed the chalice started...

Ok, so I’m getting some conflicting information on my research on what to do with this acro. It’s a WWC fruit mix and it’s getting really pale but I’m not seeing any rtn or stn as of now. The lighting where it’s placed is only around 200par at the moment and it’s been lower as the lights have...

Hello, I am seeing this creature that looks almost like spider web but it is moving and it has these rentable like things coming out of the sand. Does anyone know what it might be? Is it a pest?

After some help please!!! Just set up a redsea300xl and I get the water level to stay around 60mm from the overflow and it stays constant until the backbox will drain rapidly, causing the pumps to push out oxygen then will fill back up again, hover around that level until it happens all over...

Hey guys, I’ve got these snails in my tank. I’m having a really hard time trying to get an ID on them as I believe they are a hitchhiker. Also, I have a few of these egg sacks popping up here and there they could be related to these snails. Any help much appreciated, sorry about the bad...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on lighting for my Waterbox Marine X 110.4 Peninsula. The display dimensions are 47.2" L × 19.7" W × 21.7" H (1200 × 500 × 550 mm). My goal is to keep primarily soft corals (zoas, mushrooms, leathers, etc.), but I'd also like the option to keep some...

So I'm setting up my new 110g tank and asking for a bit of advice as to why it smells a little not to bad but bad enough to notice also a little cloudy maybe milky I put 3 bags of live sand and mixed my own water, I put some old bio blocks in the sump along with a small piece of rock which the...

So I got this Klir d7 V2 for 100 bucks and figure I’ll give it a try on this eshopp rs sump. Now is a really tight fit because of my stand but everything is in place, my worry is that the water will not raise high enough to trigger the sensor. Anyone has any experience with this.

I have a wonderful seahorse tank going! I know the genders of the ones marked but am unsure of the one circled - anyone have any idea? We have already had our first clutch!

I would appreciate anyone helping ID this hitchhiker. My tank is currently unstocked and about 3 weeks old with live rock.

I’m getting into reefing for the first time from fresh water. I am looking for a lid for my tank that doesn’t cost a quarter the cost of the entire tank. Any suggestions are appreciated. Tank is 59”x23.6”x22

Hey everyone, I designed an underwater drone for aquariums and I'm currently prototyping it. I really need your feedback: is this worth taking to crowdfunding, or is it just stupid/too expensive? The product price will be around $800. As a designer maker and a planted tank enthusiast, this is...

Hey y’all, I just got a Tailspot blenny from my LFS today after I traded some coral frags in for some store credit. It seems to be eating normally, taking the pellets I offered it & grazing on some tank algae. But I have never seen one in person before and would like some opinions on what I...

Can anyone help me ID this snail? Thank you.

So my clownfish suddenly appeared to have excess mucus as of five days ago, and at first I figured it was as stress related due to my female clownfish having recent aggressions with my royal gramma, but as of today i’ve noticed their mucus coat has gotten slightly thicker. During these past few...

Hey Everyone, happy Tuesday! Back in 2015 I had purchased a RED SEA MAX C-130 from my LFS and had it running for about 4 years until I upgraded and transferred everything to the Waterbox 110.4 that has now become my main tank! Long story short, the Red Sea has been in storage for about 7 years...

I’m building my first soft coral reef tank (75 gallon). My current plan is two islands (will add sand once finalized). The left island feels largely done and interesting (while not too unnatural). But I currently plan to rework the right with (likely) more live rock. Would appreciate any...

Hello! I recently sold some corals/mushrooms and shipped them. Unfortunately UPS had several issues right from the start and the package appears to be delayed by a day. Normally I’d think one extra day wouldn’t be the end of the world especially for mushrooms BUT the package stalled in...

See title. I was thinking it could be a trachyphyllia or lobophyllia. Any ideas?

Hi All, My mandarin dragonet was doing great for the past five months with an active swimming style. However, five days ago, I noticed that he started hiding, which also happened a month ago, but resolved after about three days when I left him alone. Two days ago, I realized he was still...

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement air flow adjuster part for my Sicce Shark protein skimmer? I don’t know the proper name, it’s the little black twist-knob thing with the sponge in it that the air comes in through. Mine fell off and got lost in the sump months ago and the skimmer...

Hey everyone! I’m new to this forum and unfortunately I come at a time of need! I’m here today seeking some assistance with my tank. I’ve attached photos and a video of my puffer swimming around. By the looks of it, he might have ich. I’ve also noticed an increase in debris floating around the...
