Hello, I had this cleaner shrimp for couple months now, but only today I noticed she’s like bigger and I noticed these egg like things in her belly. I never had any other shrimp in the tank she’s the only one. So is she pregnant or??
My RBTA split last night (I believe it was due to stress, but not 100% certain) and the larger half immediately recovered and remained healthy looking. The other half looked very distressed and increasingly seems worse as of this morning. For context, I had turned of my pump in my tank (8 gallon...
Hey everyone,
First post here and it’s a somewhat big one. I have a tank that’s a little shy of 20 gallons (rounded just for ease of conversation) and it’s getting to the point where I’m adding my last fish. (tank attached bellow). I currently have 2 clowns 1 scooter dragonet and a shrimp, goby...
Got you — here’s a smoother, blog-ready version that keeps your tone but cleans it up and flows better:
I’ve noticed these worms in my sand bed from time to time during the day, but lately I’ve been having issues with some of my corals. Because of that, I started checking my tank at night to...

Recently I had an anemone that was moving around a lot and ended up stinging a coral so I moved it into an acclimation box as I planned on selling it but when i woke up I found it trying to get out but is now stuck. Im worried if I leave itll somehow get out and flow onto one of my corals or...
Hello! I recently set up a 105l/26g reef. And I haven’t noticed anything until today after I put some more rock in. The tank bends outwards and I’m kinda scared…is this normal or should I take it down and get a different one. The glass is 5milieters, also it’s a bit dirty but there’s no cracks...

Hey yall. I recently tried getting into corals and bought a rock with anthelia. I heard they were the easiest or one of for beginners. They are in my established 75g tank
When I first put them in they opened, but looked stiff and not as flowery as they were at the store.
3 weeks later they...
Hey all I noticed there’s a lot of these like moving microscopic white specs in my little 2.5 nano tank. The are every where and are on the weir box and glass. I know I have a skunk cleaner in there and she had eggs but doesn’t anymore but I don’t think they are her babies?
Hello everyone, this might be a bit silly but I made a model of an aquarium stand in a game that I will build. It will be supporting a 125 gallon tank, so roughly 1,300 to 1,400 pounds when full, I don't mind overbuilding for safety since I've never done woodwork. I’m scared about that much...
I did the Tropic Marin ICP Plus test with the tank and RO water. I know the iron is high because I just found a rusty bolt on my light mount, which was swapped out, so that should be taken care of now, I hope. Also, they say my nitrates are very high, but when I use the HR Hanna tester, my...
I’m redoing the baffles in my refugium, but I don’t want to drain and dry the whole thing to silicone in the new baffles. It’s kind of the heart of my whole system. I’m wondering if there are any products out there that use a magnet on the can simply hold the baffles in place, also so I can take...

I have an Imagitarium 40gal breeder I bought from petco that has been running for around 4 months now. I have noticed there is a air gap like this on both of the front sides roughly halfway up the tank all the way to the top of the tank and was wondering if this is something to be concerned with?
Recently I did some changes on my tank. I sold lots of colonies and kept only some frags because I did a layout change. I changed all my rocks and switched from a calcium reactor +2parts to 2-part dosing only. I had some parameter fluctuations, so I was expecting losses.
I have stable parameters...
Any suggestions on where I should place my powerheads? I have a 800gph powerhead along the back wall. The hugger 2160 got in the front going diagonally to the back right corner to hit my sps in the middle. I have a fx6 as well with outflow. Just ordered a gyre it's on the way today. Any...
Hello, im currently meeting this problem when trying to mount my new radion xr15 to my red sea max nano g2 cube (20gal). Have anyone successfully mounted it on ? i live in the US so do i need to get any 3d printed tool ? Thanks alot for your help
Hey everyone, put water in the tank and then added Red Sea blue bucket salt last week. I added the salt to a temp a little higher than what it recommends, and now my tank is cloudy. It hasn’t cleared up in about a week and a half and I was wondering why is that? I have my 2 wavemakers running at...

I have accidentally fed spoiled brine shrimp to my tank. I am currently panicking as I do not know what to do. The shrimp were from yesterday morning in a shot glass that was unfortunately left out for around 36ish hours. It was mixed with fresh flakes and they mainly ate those. Ammonia test on...
I picked up this Gem Tang from my local store, where it was eating well and looked great. I brought it home and it’s been in my quarantine system for about a week and a half. It was eating aggressively in an acclimation box - I also have a yellow tang in the tank, but figure I’d release the Gem...
