Well I'm finally hitting crossroad with my small nem tank. I got one black widow and 3 rbtas. The 3 rbtas are fine. But the black widow has started to bleach. I wasn't really paying attention I though it was the light intensity since switching from kessil 80 to dalua pixel LED then back to...

Hi all first time posting and thank you all in advance. First saltwater tank set up about a year ago(20gal). My Haitian Anemone was growing well and seeming to thrive for months, I made the mistake of re arranging the rocks and since then it’s been running all over the tank and hasn’t really...

Hello everybody. Im a long time lurker who just made an account to ask this question as i cant find anything solid on google. I have had a new york knicks torch for about 6 months now. I didnt notice it because it happened slowly, but i was looking at old pics and i realized my torch looks...

Where can I find a pre built sump for a 210 gallon tank? I am looking for a spot for the filter/ media, protein skimmer, and a refugium (to help grow pods) and the return? Also what order is best ?

I’ve had my male pygmy waspfish for a year in my nano tank, and I just moved him into my 65g when I finally found him a female friend. They definitely seem to be paired up despite sources saying that they don’t actually pair like a clownfish or a seahorse would. But when I put them in together...

Hi guys, I need your help. For about 4 days now, my Euphyllia in the tank haven't been fully extending and tend to remain retracted. The water test results are as follows: KH: 9 Ca: 440 Mg: 1220 (a bit low, for now I’ve been blaming this) Nitrites: 0.02 (or negligible) ppm Nitrates: 15 ppm...

Is this the dreaded ich? Just got three cleaner goby’s. All three are now showing white spots. At this point none of the other fish have anything similar.

Help please! I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Tank is 3 months old. Fish are perfectly fine. But I can not keep corals happy in the slightest and all herbivorous cuc dies within a few days of being added to the tank. Worried that the bright green on the rock is some form of cyano...

My clownfish previously was having stringy poop for 1 day, but then stopped. It previously had hexamita, but it came over that. It is showing no signs of hexamita right now, or any illness of stress, but the last 2 times I fed them, he didn't eat. I am feeding Mysis shrimp pellets, and the only...

I’m working on turning my nano reef into a macroalgae tank for dwarf seahorses. It’s been up for a year now and these little things have been in there for about 8 months, basically since i added the one extra piece of rock that they’re on. There’s only a few of them on that one rock and none of...

I whant to get a new tank for a tang but I would only be able to afford a 40 gallon that has a length of 48 inches buy people say you need 75 gallon tank for even the smallest of tangs but I have looked and there the same length like why would I get a way more expensive tank if it’s the same length?

Hey other reefers, I just picked up a 300xl and noticed after setting it up a chip on the front glass at the bottom of the tank…. I packed silicon into the area and tried putting some on the inside in a panic. I’m not sure if I should trust it long term, what do you guys think?

Hey everyone! So this tank has been up and running for about two months now. Everything was going smoothly at first, but then my auto feeder accidentally dumped more food than it should have—and I didn’t catch it right away. Next thing I knew, I had a bloom in the tank. I added a UV...
