Hi, I have a Jebao SOW-3N wavemaker in my 6.6 gallon reef jar and it works great but its lowest output is 500 gph whilst I have a hammer, torch, and Zoa heavy reef jar which likely needs a wavemaker that functions closer to 150 gph. I love the sine function and the random function the wavemaker...

I just got this anemone 2 days ago and he hasn’t attached at all and now seems like he’s just floating around. I just had another anemone die prior and tested my water and all good there. I’m not sure if he’s healthy or if he’s dying? Please help! The tank is only like 2 months old.

Last night i noticed this pinch on my wrasse, it very much looked like a pinch into a raised bump. Now today, the white spot has expanded to a larger area and looks smooth. Im also missing 2 anthias. I cant tell if i have a crab biting then at night or if it is a disease/infection. Any ideas...

Can somebody identify this for me. I was sold it at my LFS and I just wanted some macro algae for my purple tang and my one spot. I put a little in my AIO chamber and some in my display. I don’t want it if it is gonna be a pest or problem. I can manage some but I don’t want it to spike levels or...

I just got a free 180 gallon reef tank and have started moving everything from the old tank including the fish (who are in a cooler right now) to move this one in, but the new tank has two corner overflow boxes built in, where the holes are drilled on each side for a sump tank. My only problem...

Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I’ve been out a Reefing game for quite some time. I used a quick start in my tank & cycled for about a week. I did use live sand a little live rock. I bought some macroalgae today and I purchased two sexy shrimp the little guys… here’s my question. I...

Hello Everyone, For the last few weeks I have been trying to get my protien skimmer tuned and I just can't seem to get it to the point where it is actually pulling anything. I've got the pump set at 3/5 and the gate valve is completely open at the moment. I keep getting crap building up in the...

Please help! I have a 60 gallon AIO with sock filters and a protein skimmer. It has been running for about 7 months now. Over this week I noticed my corals (mixed reef) not doing great- polyps shrunken, staying closed up, etc. so Friday night I decided to test everything. While my main...

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...

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.
