Hello everybody, FNG here to R2R forums. I have a 15 gallon AIO that I have used to experiment and try out reefing for the first time bought it 2 years ago. (The tank was a 100 bucks, why the hell not give it spin.) I have a lot of freshwater experience, and once I mastered that I thought...

Hello everyone, I’m finally able to slow down life and make somewhere home for a couple consistent years. I have never owned fish as an adult. I’ve moved so much in my line of work from America > Afganistan > America > South Korea > Germany > Poland > Germany > and now onwards to Brazil...

Howdy! I went on vacation for one week over the holidays and everything was fine when I returned except for my monti frag that I’ve had for about a month or two now. It has this white look to it now on about 75% of it, but I can still kind of see color under it. It doesn’t come loose or off when...

Hi everyone. Just looking for some help again. I recently had a brooklynella outbreak which rapidly wiped out all fish in my mixed reef tank.

Hello, I bought this porcupine pufferfish a few months ago, and he is doing well. He eats like a pig, including dry shrimp, krill, and frozen shrimp. My blue tang picks on his fins at times but it never bothered him thus I never did anything about it. But 2 days ago he refused to eat and has...

Hi all! Brand new with a 50.3 Waterbox. I did a bunch of research prior, and although overwhelmed by the many ways people suggest cycling, kinda get the gist that you want nitrites and ammonia at 0. To begin, recently bought live sand, saltwater from my LFS, and what was called "live rock"...

I’ve had a candy cane coral in my tank for a couple months now, it was doing good up until a little over a month ago where it started showing it’s skeleton and these pink tubes started to grow out of it. I’ve done water changes and target feed it, nothing is helping. What should I do?

Hey i have two tunze nanostream 6045 on the lowest settings in a red sea reefer 200 g2+. I just added my first fish and the flow still seems too strong i was wondering if this is normal or if not what i could do about it.

does anyone have an ID on any of these? Asked a few weeks ago and the only answer I got was that maybe the one with the red mouth is a gorilla nipple, not sure tho

Like the title says I upgrade my tank from a Red Sea max 250 to a Red Sea reefer 350. I used about 3/4 of the old tank water and the rest newly mixed. I swapped all the rocks pretty quick so no die offs and didn’t transfer my sand except for enough to just cover the new (washed) sand that was...

Got an Eclipse l and after much time, I finally got it plumbed to the best of my ability in the bean animal style.
