Hey guys this is my first big tank 65”L 30”W & 17” tall (pretty much 150g according to BRS calculators). Will be a budget build because I can’t convince myself why to buy the higher end stuff. Doesn’t make sense to me. Please let me know if they’re are better suggestions/options! :) return...

I have a aqua knight over my 20 gal and I would like to know what settings I should have it on for coral.

I recently bought a 60 gallon with sump and stand on facebook marketplace for $200, I think the total volume is ~80 gallons. I'm a 16 year old working on this tank on a smaller budget. The equipment I need is a return pump and eventually a skimmer. What skimmer will work for the tank that won't...

Hi everyone, recently I had encountered a problem with my tank. I was getting stray voltage in my water from one of my pumps. I have replaced the defective part but since this has happened none of my corals have really opened. Before this happened I was seeing really nice growth and extension...

My tank is going on two months old, I have always had a hard time identifying diatoms from Dino’s. What do y’all think? I have been having trouble getting my NO3 & PO4 up and my setup has ceramic bio rings and uses standard medium size tetra filter cartridges with activated carbon in them...

Hello reefers! I recently upgraded from a 40g to a 180g tank with an 75g sump and I’m slowly buying parts for the 180g. I’m currently looking for powerheads/gyros and wondered what everyone’s go to is for that size of a tank. I was offered $300 total for two Nero 5’s and I’m not sure if that’ll...

I recently set up my new saltwater aqurium and bought some live rocks and sand. I saw this tiny green leaf thingy sticking out of one of the live rocks. Do u guys think this is the start of macro algea growing? I think the rock came with it, aleardy attachted on there.

I am new to keeping a salt tank so I am still learning the terms for most of the supplies needed to help my tank thrive. Currently I do not have a protein skimmer and am looking to purchase one from reef octopus as it seems to harbor the best reviews online. I am stuck between the 110EXT 4"...

Hello everyone! I need help as I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have a 10g nano that I have had setup for about a year and a half now and throughout it I have tried periodically to keep sps and they all end up bleaching. I tried one at the 6 month mark, year mark, and now (18 months) and...

So I came home and saw that my acans that have been flourishing are now sort of odd and shriveled looking. Almost appears to be brown in coloring. Any idea what this could be? They are frags btw they have 3 or 4 polyps each

Hello all. So lately I have been having some pretty big problems with my zoa frags. I mainly just keep zoanthids, and have for quite some time. My zoas have always done great. But lately, they are starting to go downhill. There are 0.2 phosphates, and 10 nitrates. A lot of the zoas are...
