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...

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...

I got a blue/grey belly regal anglefish around 4.5/5 inch. It was very healthy and fat when I got it. It is in qurrantine tank. Still not bad but its been 8 days now and it has not eaten anything. I have tried, half shell clam, mussels, ocean nutrition prime and formula 2 flake, mysis, shrimp...

#fishmedic I just noticed this white spot on the top left side of my WTB tang, and I’m freaking out because I somewhat recently treated my whole tank with a 35 day hyposalinity treatment before I moved all my corals and inverts into here, but that’s no longer an option. It doesn’t look like ich...

Hey everyone! So I set up my new saltwater aquarium a week ago today. I have a 14 gallon tank that I set up with live sand, one aquacultured live rock and some dry live rock. After it was set up, I tested everything the next day and was showing 0 ammonia, 0nitrites, and about 5ppm of nitrates...

Hey everyone… I’m 3 months into the hobby and so far everything was good until 3 days ago. First it started my royal gramma having ich so my LFS recommended a UV sterilizer due to all the other fish starting to show signs of ich. I installed the UV yesterday at 3pm and monitored it until 8pm -...
