I saw these dark “bubbles” show up. I tried blowing them off with a turkey baster and they wouldn’t budge. Tried nudging them and they’re somewhat firm (didn’t pop). Tank is 4 months old; have been working to get dinos under control. Is this related? Any idea?? Pic attached!

I introduced a leopard wrasse to my tank yesterday he immediately dug directly into the sand when he was introduced and haven’t seen him since

Hello everyone, I recently bought a Mandarin Goby for my year and a half 32 gal saltwater tank, for the past 2 weeks I've seen him pecking at the substrate and rocks all the time which I suppose means there are copepods in the tank, but still he seems to be very thin and is not eating the live...

Any idea what this is? I just got a frag today and not sure what it is. The coral is a red monti

Hi all, Seeking some advise on what this could be on my yellow tang. It just started a few days ago. Looks like it's bruised or maybe an infection? Has a couple bristles sticking out the red area. Could this possibly caused by bristleworms? The yellow tang eats and swims just fine and no...

Hey all, I'm having trouble getting my 2 Ai Prime 16hds to run their schedule. I downloaded one of the recommended lighting schedules directly from AIs website. It works perfectly on my original Ai Prime (non hd) but I cant get my 16hds to do anything. When I run the "schedule preview" the...

Hi all, A short intro: I'm new here, but have had a salt water tank for approximately 2 years. I've only ever had corals, clowns, emerald crabs, coral-banded shrimp, gobys & snails. That being said, my current tank consists of a clown, an emerald crab, 4 turbo snails & a conch snail, along...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to see how many have ran vectra l2 pumps externally and if you had issues with leaking. Current situation is my first l2 started making a noise so I contacted ecotech and they asked me to pull the pump apart and clean it. I did as was asked but then spent 4 hours...

Mods please delete this post, wrong forum.

This GSP frag attached to the backwall has been in the tank ~3-4 weeks, the little critter in question seemed to be attached to the GSP. It looked similar in color to the purple mat of the GSP, so I thought it was the GSP stretching to grow onto the back wall. Today the little guy has moved...

Hi All, I have a 90 gallon tank and have noticed some coral that aren’t doing so well. The first guy is a bowerbanki, which I have had for a while. It looked great at first, until I switched my lights and it looks very shrunken with skeleton exposed. Originally, I had 2 AI Prime HDs but switched...

Firstly, APOLOGIES as I know there are a million and one threads already about Ich treatment and management etc but I read so many I then get lost as to what to do so I thought I'd explain my situation and see if there is any specific advice to me... So new marine tank had Ich after about 2...

I have a blue spotted toby that has 'clamped' himself to a rock and doesn't seem to want to swim around. He has never done this in the four or five months I've had him. He's usually right at the front of the tank begging for food when I get home from work. I have fed him a bit heavy this week...

Hey Everyone! I recently put in an order for my business, and they accidentally shipped me a Diamond Tailed Wrasse (even though they charged me for it). I typically only put in special orders for my customers who are looking for something specific, and then a lot of clean up crew. I have seen...

Ive been dealing with aiptasia for months on end, I'd say around 7 months. I first used the Red Sea aiptasia x, as I was advised to do so by my local fish shop (who coincidentally introduced this into my tanks!) it didn't work, they all spread, they got huge, they reproduced and now that entire...

At work today we had a crab come in that nobody can identify. We got it in a batch of emerald crabs, and it was labeled as a black emerald crab despite it not being one. Any ideas what it could be?

Tanks levels good- fish seem happy and corals are growing like crazy! Almost 1 year with the evo - was a project me and my 2 year old did- mostly me a he watched ha. Been great. But lately even with water changes I seem to keep getting what I believe diatoms on the sand - and the very...

I bought a foot long engineer goby but I'm struggling with feeding. He doesn't try to eat silversides or small shrimps but does look at them. I feed my tank frozen mysis but feel like little pieces of mysis won't sustain him. He also hides when I approach the tank so spot feeding is pretty...

Hello all, So a little while ago, I had a huge issue arise with my frag tank. A lot of my LPS was killed, and everything that was still alive I had to throw into a 10 gallon coral quarantine tank. Between what happened, the transfer, and the unstable parameters of so many frags in such a small...

I think one of my clownfish has velvet. I have noticed him the last 24 hours not eating and breathing very heavy. I also recently lost a flasher wrasse and a fire fish. What should my next step be? I still have 1 other clownfish that is moving around well and eating and same with the other fire...

just got a bunch of corals sent home. I have acans, torches, zoas and Duncans that the angelfish does not eat. BUT, my newly added scolymia is often being nipped at by my angelfish. THE VICTIM: THE PERPETRATOR: What should I do? it is taken a very harsh toll on the scaly sadly. no...

Just moved and have had my fish in holding for a month at a lfs. Finally was able to get my tank set up yesterday. Need to get my fish out of holding because they’re charging me an arm and a leg. What’s the best way to ensure success if I want to add them in a week. I’ve added used/established...
