Hello, I've had this Devil's Hand for a couple months now, and recently I've noticed that parts of it have begun to sort of droop on its side. Polyps are still extending, but it looks weaker than it used to overall. Parameters have remained stable, but I'm thinking of doing a partial water...

So I found this at petsmart and is closer than LFS an hour away to get water. I’ve been using to supply my ATO for about a month and I notice a bacterial bloom and possible infection in fish. Is this ok to be using in place of RODI water.

At the end of the 2 min mixing step for the Hanna Nitrate HR test as I was cleaning the vial, I dropped the vial and by some clumsy miracle, the vial broke and the entire contents (and broken vial) ended up in my sump. The reagent packet says Malonic acid, and I assume there is also some kind...

powder brown tang looking very bad, seems to be slimming on the bottom of its belly and eye. What to do. I thought my lights maybe to string but I turned them down and still looking shady. A lot of flow and oxygen in the tank. I have other tangs and none of them are experiencing the same.

Hi!! I'm new to the reefing hobby, but I'm a experienced freshwater hobbyist. The thing is, not even experienced friends could tell me what happened to my new rainbow incinerator. I've bought it with a Sunny D in the same store, I've made a dip before putting it in the tank (new tank). The...

Based off of this picture, where would you put the powerheads to get higher flow at the top of the right island for the torches, and high flow on majority of the left island for the SPS. I feel like I have too many powerheads in the tank right now (4) , and I feel that better placement would...

Hi all! As stated, I think something is eating all my poor berghia. I’ve got a 29g mixed reef with an ever growing aiptasia problem so I got me some nudi’s, 10 to be exact. Now, this is actually my second time buying berghia because my first 6 all appear to have gone missing. Not like “oh yeah...

Help! We have a huge setosa that is a real showpiece in our tank. Last night, I noticed a concerningly large section is dying off, and it's happening quickly. (Honestly, it either happened like within a day, or I'm somehow just completely blind considering I sit and just watch our tank every...

Need some help identify what’s happening with a few of my Duncan heads. Looks like some exposed skeleton and white hardening around a couple heads. See pics below thanks for the help.

Hi all, I recently set up a new 30 gallon reef tank and am trying to figure out what to do. For some background, I have a 13.5 which I bought a rock that had 3 awesome nems on and placed it in my tank knowing the previous owner had dinos. This sparked the dinos in my 13.5 which I have recently...

Hello, my coral lost tissue in very strange way - about half of each polyp lost tissue. I don't know what could be the reason. I got this coral about 5 days ago and it looked very well. I have very good parameters.I keep sucesfully corals such as acropora, fungia, micromussa, euphyllia, chalice...

I noticed a strange growth or adhesion to my filefish's mouth this afternoon. As far as I know it wasn't there last night when I fed and she was eating like normal. From other threads the suggestions seem to be either an injury or some super glue from a drag or rock in the tank? I don't have...

What is this stuff? I’ve read up on Dino’s some. I don’t think this is what it is because I read they like super sterile environments. But there’s this brown stuff. And then this clear stuff that has lined everything in my tank.

I have two clowns maybe they did it but the little cherub is swimming fine and eating well. Should I be concerned???

Hi guys! I was wondering to get some help, yesterday I saw this in my pincushion urchin, at first I thought it was just sand that somehow got on him, but when I watched him today the white thing was still on him. I took several pictures, but the one on the post is the best one I got. It would...

I am headed to look at an established tank and I have a couple questions. The tank already has coral and fish in it. 1. Do I need to bacteria cycle the tank since it is established? I am planning on using the same water from the tank after moving it. 2. What other cycles should or shouldn't...

Just picked up a hammer coral from a local keeper. I'm not used to hitchhikers so any help would be appreciated!

hello coral friends, A few days ago maybe 5 tops my yellow tip torch coral started closing. I thought okay maybe its splitting so left it be. Wasn't until 2 days ago when I realized I have a problem. Pics and video show the torch 10 days ago, 2 days ago, today, healthy zoas shown taken today...

Good afternoon, I was hoping some of y’all that have been in the industry for some time could help give us some feedback on our new frag racks and other products on our website. We have posted in some Facebook groups and good some feedback and looking to get more to help shape our products...

My tank is 3 years old and has predominantly soft corals. My nepthea has always been one of my healthiest looking corals. However, a few months ago I noticed a light brown ring just above it's base. Other than this ring, the coral looked fine. Over the past 5 days it began leaning and is now...

I just came back from a week long vacation and found this stuff has completely taken over my sump. Any idea what it is and how to get rid of it?

Hey everyone. So I'm having some problems with my clowns or rather one of them. I've had them almost 4 months now and I've never had such an issue with fighting/pecking. My white one has always submitted to the black one and done the little clown shake/shimmy to submit and that's it. Recently...

Hi guys, recently been seeing these sold as “mini hammers”. Never really seen many till about 3 years ago. Even more common now coming out of bali and maricultured. They have rounder tips, smaller thinner skeletons. They definitely dont look like the normal hammers im used to seeing here in...
