Hi I got the TMC Vector 850 It’s has a max flow rate of 674gph When reading though other UVs they all had different recommended flow rates for different purposes. Anyone have any idea what they are for the TMC Vector 850. I am running 460gph at the moment.

Can you help ID this. It’s soft and I think I can pull it off. Its seems hollow and it’s really light feeling. Not dense. Is it good or bad?

I got my black widow BTA about 6 weeks ago, and it picked a spot and has stayed there. But a couple weeks ago my female clown finally tried to get it to host her (she won’t let my male near when she tries) and it didn’t seem to respond. Since then she’s tried multiple other times and after a bit...

Hi all, I've been toying with the idea of designing a minimal/zero maintenance reef, and would like your input on feasibility. The idea is for a max 20 gallon tank. The idea is to essentially have a small self sustaining ecosystem. The tank would be 4 glass walls, a heater, a light, and a...

I’m seeking advice to help us address some challenges we’ve encountered while progressing with a fellow reefer’s tank. They are relatively new to the hobby, and I’m currently assisting with their tank maintenance to ensure it thrives and matures. However, we’ve encountered a few issues, and I...

Hello everyone, some what new to this so forgive me. I currently have a male and female pair of Spotted Dragonets, I’ve had them for over a year now. They eat lots of copepods and peck all day, as well as have been trained to accept frozen foods. Recently, I noticed BOTH male and female fish...

Hello guys. So, I've been thinking about quitting. I can't stand seeing my aquarium with NO COLORS whatsoever. Even easy "GSPs" won't grow in my tank. Cannot for the life of me figure out what the actual f* is happening. I'll post all the pictures and water parameters. Anemones? Dark brown...

Long story short, I replaced my old tank almost two weeks ago, I was assisted by my local fish shop guy who helped me move across my rock work, replaced the sand and used some of the old water ( we didnt want to use too much since my nitrates were sky high due to the use of a canister filter for...

One fish dead and other looking unwell, see photos attached, is it ich or velvet and what should I do?

I’ve noticed the past couple days that my blue eye kole tang has seemed sluggish compared to his usual energetic happy self. In fact all my fish, which includes a pair of skunk clowns and a pintail fairy wrasse, have seemed a bit off. My clowns have been at opposite ends of the tank, each...

So I’m experiencing ich for the first time. I’ve set up a quarantine tank (50 gallons) and started dosing copper safe on Thursday with a slow ramp up. I have a Hanna copper checker and I don’t think it’s giving correct numbers. First time I dosed (18ml) checked about 2 mins after and it said...

I'm pretty new, and I'm having problems with my pH, so I figured I could kill two birds with one stone. I currently dose alkalinity and calcium with my Apex DOS. I have a 32-gallon BioCube, and I would like to use a Kalkwasser stirrer in the stand and have the Apex DOS pump the solution up into...

Does anyone have any information on these odd looking brackets at the bottom of these Red Sea RL90 mounting arms? I’ll add a photo of a set of original mounting brackets as well, but when I got these used, they had these other brackets attached that seem odd but seem almost stock to the arm.

I watch my tank quite closely as I’m sure most people do and a few nights ago I noticed a few faded white spots on my clown fish, only really noticeable in certain lighting. I’ve kept an eye on in and now it seems to have gotten worse and I’ve began noticing spots on my other fish. I am almost...

Hey Everyone, My tank has been running for about 5 months now. With work and school keeping me busy I don't have large amounts of time to give to the aquarium every day. With that said both the hammer and torch have been doing great up until early this month when both of their flesh began...

I have an issue reading the Hanna Hi-784 ammonia checker. It says that it measures both NH3 and NH4 ammonia, and there is a conversion table to get the toxic NH3 reading. So the question is: Is the main readout what's important? Or the number you get after conversion? Example: I'm doing a...

Hello, I brought a second hand tank yesterday set it up and there is a chip on the bottom corner, just wondering if I should be worried about if it will be an issue, if it is fixable or if I need too drain and get a new tank not sure what I would do with all the fish in there it is 110 litre
