I got a yellow corris wrasse, 2.5 ish weeks ago. Went on vacation. And came back to it like this. Going to do a water change. But what else can I do ? It’s laying on the floor. Mouth is moving and it’s “breathing” but not well. Ph 7.8-8.0 Ammonia .25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 LFS just had us start...

Any ideas on why my ph will drop all the way down to 7.58 from 8.1 in a 24 hour period. I have been treating with kalkwasser to bring it up. I have attached my seneye check. My next step is to send off a sample of my water to a lab to be broken down for contaminants. I also now have hair algae...

I'm helping my brother-in-law with a coral question. He's been in the hobby for years but his Emperor Angel fish kept him from keeping coral. His wife wanted coral, so they got a smaller tank for reefing - an 80 gallon that had a great amount of established mixed reef coral and some bubble tip...

Hey Everyone! Reaching out for some extreme help as I I now idea what to do anymore. It's been a battle for 3 months, not giving up, but I need some help on the direction I should go. It appears we have some type of Algae growth that just doesn't seem to stop, possibly Dinoflagellates, but...

Evening, all. I'm fairly new to the salt reef game here. Been doing fresh tanks for about 20 years, but just established a 130 gallon salt tank. Problem I ran into was that the tank I got is JUST a little too thick in the back for a HOB overflow system, so I constructed a HOB DIY siphon with...

Hey guys, I just purchased a hydra 26hd light for my Fluval evo. Everything works great and all the connections connect. Does anyone know what schedule I should run or have any tips on how to have a good schedule. Also I know the light is a bit overkill but at the price I got it, it only made...

Im looking to sell this acan and was wondering if anyone knew how much it would be worth. It has 5 heads i haven been able to find anything on the color any help is appreciated

They’re white, spreading, all over certain rocks and some of my snail shells. Before anyone suggests nerite egg sacs, I do not have any nerite snails. I don’t believe they are worm or snails themselves because they are flat, round, and with any orifices. I was able to break or “pop” one with my...

Woke up this morning to something on my clown face, not sure if it’s bristle worn bristles, or some kind of bacteria, parasite or infection.. Any help is appreciated.

Hello, Desperately need help. I have a 45L tank with a skimmer, biorings, sponge filters. With a peacock mantis shrimp, 4 clownfish, and a mix of coral, as well as one anemone wandering around the tank, started about 5 months ago. We used sand from a friends long-running tank to start with, as...

Recently moved my tank so while I had my clowns out of the tank I did the fish bowl method of putting them in a bowl with their new nem. They successfully ended up inside of it and they were interacting with it and everything, but when I put them in the tank again, they only stayed with it for a...

Okay I check everything chemicals in there it's stable and the water temperature is good range and stable i don't know something to do with lightning

Ahoy Reefers, I'm having an STN event in my reef tank due to some alk fluctuations and a gradual rise in nutrients that happened about 2 months ago. I'm also battling AEFW (yes they got through my QT). The tank has been very stable for over a month now (about 6 weeks) and my daily basting...

Any idea if this is good or bad should I move it or take it off?

So I just got this Hob filter/skimmer today and after all was setup and I plugged it in the cup instantly fills to the top with water? I have the air valve all the way open, there are bubbles being produced but it just shoots out the side back into the filter? Is this just the priming process or...

Hi! I have had our saltwater tank set up for 6 or so months, and have a happy little community - but yesterday and today, I've found that one of my anthias is looking really listless - 'hiding' in the lower corner of the tank, and hadn't moved from that spot for 24 hours. She seems to be...

This is not the first time that this has occurred.. I’ve had fish disappear from time to time but I had assumed that my large puffer was eating them. (Now deceased) RECENTLY however, my 5” yellow tang just went missing and is no where to be found in my tank. There is no way for him to jump out...

Hi all, new to the hobby here. My aquarium has been cycling for a couple of weeks now using Red Sea mature. My LFS has checked parameters etc and it’s all good and inverts / 2 clowns have been added. However today I’ve noticed these little white dots on the glass, that seem to jump and move...

Hello, I am new to the coral game and wanted to ask how do my corals look? I have had them for about a month and a half, but I am battling a bryopsis outbreak from my tank crashing. I have been dosing Reef Flux per the directions, so I am hoping to get it under control quickly! This is a 30G...

Hi everyone! I’ve had this hammer coral for about four months, and up until a week ago, it was doing great. Recently, I noticed a strange line running down the middle, and all the polyps have closed up. It almost looks like it’s splitting, but I’ve never seen a hammer coral divide in this way...

For a while now my black widow bta has been on the back of my rock structure, right beside the overflow in the left corner but near the bottom of the tank. My clowns haven’t really done anything with it, I’ve just been giving them time to figure it out. Yesterday I turned the flow on both my...

Yesterday received a new regal angelfish along with a flame angelfish and naso tang. There are all are eating currently in QT. Upon arrival I noticed the regal angelfish had a slight hazy eye. Today it is worse and I want to treat it as soon as possible. I attached a picture and video.

Hello, I am a pretty new reefer, moved tanks in March and this system was thriving with the cycled rock and water, and now my tank crashed and has been withering away over the last week. All zoa polyps closed, xenia died back and shedding, kenya trees dying, birdsnest and monti dead, mushrooms...

I recently bought a mantis shrimp and two dang fish and for the first couple hours everything’s going well. I went to bed and woke up to a salinity of 1040. I nearly fainted, and since I had no water conditioner, I emptied about half of it out and frantically dumped in tapwater. Next thing you...

Started a manage shrimp tank last week along with a 2 domino damsels and one morning I did a salinity test and it shot up to 1040. Reasonably I started panicking , and since I had no conditioner on me. I removed about half of my water and dumped in freshwater strait from the tap. I know this...
