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...

So here is the background. I have a 40g that I setup and was cycled in January. Brought 3 fish from my old setup 2 clowns and Banggai cardinal (no LR or media fresh start). One of the clowns died due to stress I think (both clown were 12 years old). I let the tank stabilize about 2 months until...

Ok, this was my second attempt at a pair of clown fish. Both times, in less than 12 hours, they are dead and I don’t know why and don’t understand why. Three days ago I came home from my LFS with two clown fish and saw my emerald crab eating something meaty and I never put anything meaty in...

Any help with an id for this critter that has decimated half of my papaya clove coral

Hi all. I am currently freaking out. I’ve had this 75g tank for 3 years. All my inhabitants have been great. Until recently, I noticed my uv (coraline) and protein skimmer weren’t working properly. (Uv had pump issues, skimmer had calcium buildup) After fixing them, a lot of shtuff went into my...

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I’m having a day. While feeding my scorpion I didn’t move the heat lamp far enough from the edge. Which then proceeded to melt the plastic/ rubber of the lip the lid slides into. This caused a burning plastic/rubber smell to then fill the room. Just...

Hi there I'm hoping to get a little bit of help or advice on these 2 carpet anemones, a Blue Haddoni and a Purple Gigantea, from the experts. @OrionN @D-Nak Both were purchased from Dr. Mac at PEA on May 16. We brought them home and put them in the tank, a 3ft 65G display with 20G Sump. (ICP...

Hey so I prepared to do my first water change to my 40 gal and had already mixed the salt in the buckets then I had an emergency which led to the mixed water sitting in the covered bucket for a week and a half uncirculated, Is it still okay to use? (l'm using pro reef sea salt)
