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...

Hello all! My first question here, probably of many! I have done freshwater tanks for about 4-5 years, recently got into saltwater a year ago I have a established 75 gallon in my room, it has been cycled for about 5 almost 6 months, and I also have a established quarantine tank that has been up...

So im currently accessing 2 problems in my tank, ive had 2 emerald crabs die due to what i can only assume is molting issues from my calcium being too high and a few of my snails have passed too assumably from the same issue. since my emerald crabs died i bought a api reef master kit to monitor...

I have a 35 gallon water box with a Nero 5 pump/wavemaker. I am having trouble figuring out the gph it should run at/ the high/low percentages it should be at. I will have clownfish pair and soft/maybe LPs coral in the tank. Pls help thx.

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?

i have a 60cm cube display and a 40 cm secondary tank, mixed tanks, but since the last week some corals health has been impacted, mainly my 24k torch has lost color and tissue in one spot, two recently acquired acropora frags has RTN and one gonipora also died, the other corals look happy and...

Hi I got this fish from a friend and have been quarantining it with other fish from the system and 2 fish from another system. I usually never cross qt fish but they had been separately visually qt for several weeks prior with no symptoms of anything. I did however have 2 small damsels and a...

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...

So I have no clue what this stuff is but from what I’ve read I believe it’s cyano from me over feeding (I still have no clue how much or how often to feed my fish or if I should be feeding with the pumps on or off or really anything but I just got a very diverse clean up crew so hopefully...

I bought a Chinese Hailea Chiller from the local Aquarium shop and the guy told me to get a extra pump to pump water in and out of Chiller, but my bottom filter tank is too small to add a extra pump as the middle spot of the filtration tank has already been taken up by the Skimmer. My tank is...

I’ve now officially lost 2 emerald crabs the EXACT same way within a week of purchasing, like 2 days ago I walked into my room to see 1 on its back next to a rock twitching and then 2 days later he was dead, last night I saw my other emerald crab holding onto the side of a rock with only its...

Hey there, Super excited to get to chat with you all. I am new to the hobby, but I come from a background of biochemistry and aqua culture during my undergraduate. I currently own a 10G tank with live rock, live sand, x6 snails and an oscellaris clownfish. I’m running the Fluval marine...

So I started my reefing journey back in maybe August of last year. I’ve been pretty good about testing my nutrients and dosing what was needed etc and of course had a couple of mishaps where Alk or other nutrients were lower than what they should’ve been. However, despite my levels being pretty...

So I got 2 emerald crabs roughly 4 days ago and they’ve been doing completely fine, but today I walked into my fish room to see this one on its back twitching and holding its one leg? It’s next to a rock so I know it’s not stuck and the other emerald crab and all other fish and inverts are doing...

Hey all! My tank has had fish and corals since March 7th. I added 3 different brands of live nitrifying bacteria plus added massive heavily seeded live rocks during the cycling phase. Nearly one month of fish, corals and inverts with daily feedings of frozen reef frenzy and nori seaweed, and...

I got my hydros launch in the mail today, but it won’t connect to wifi. It has the yellow blinking wifi LED and when I set it up it’s stuck on “Installing UserID” If I restart the app it does show it in my devices, but it won’t load the status. It’s right next to my Control XP8 which is...

I've had a 13.5 fluval for 4.5 months and I feel like I've been making every single recommendation possible to get over the "ugly stage" but I'm not sure it's the ugly stage at this point, rather than just a nuisance algae and diatom or dino problem. So my sand gets real brown during the day...
