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...

Hello, I have had my Mandarin Dragonet for roughly 6 months. My tank is an SPS tank with a total volume of about 300 gallons. This tank is almost a year old and includes media from my previous tank, which was running for 5 years. I have a variety of other fish in the tank, and everything wet...

Hi all, This is my first saltwater tank and proper jump into the aquarium hobby. The tank is a 20 gallon cube that’s been cycled for 3 weeks. I added the 2 clowns yesterday and they’ve pretty much hung around the top of the tank all day and night. Just wanted to see if this was normal or smthng...

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...

I built my own stand for a 60 gallon rimless cube. I was testing the tank on the stand and it doesn't look like the plywood is flat. There is a bump on the right left side thats causing the front left edge to float. They screws are covered, so pretty hard to remove them. I added about 15 gallons...

Hey Reefers, I finished cycling my tank a few weeks back and I added 2 clowns and 3 nassarius snails post cycle. I waited nearly 3 weeks and the ugly phase was in full effect. I then added a lawnmower blenny, 3 astraea snails and 2 sand shifting starfish. All was going well and tank is looking...

Question is in the title... my rodi unit is running water through the waste line after the container is full... the booster pump turns off but the waste line doesn't... what do I need to stop this from happening as I'm tired of turning the water source off manually pics below on setup.

Hi folks, nee to Reef2reef. I hope I’m not posting this in the wrong place. I started my tank up just about a month ago and bought new corals the other day from oceans garden. They arrived late and cold (about 58 degrees). This ricordea mushroom looks specifically bad and has a long brown line...

Hello! I have a problem with several corals in my tank. The tank is 4 years old. 2 lights under - 26HD and flow is two Nero 5. I have a sneaky suspicion one of my fish is nipping them. They don't look like they're dying, just irritated. Levels and fish below. I've seen my Damsel nip SPS and zoas...
