Help. Wednesday (2 days ago) my husband screamed 'come in here fast' and I ran to my 120 gal reef tank. My anemone was being attacked by several very large copepods. They were literally playing, what can only be described as a game of tug-a-war, with it's tentacles. I quickly scooped him out...

Hi all so I have a 75g tank and I bought a bubble top aenenome about 6 months ago and anthelia 2 months ago. Since then my aenenome disappeared, then the corals shrank smaller and smaller and now they are just stalks. I narrowed the problem to a broke salinity measurement. I was at 1.017. For...

I haven’t had any fish/coral additions to my tank for at least 4-6months now. My fish have been very healthy and eating well, but suddenly noticed these spots/ white cast develop on the body of the clownfish. Any identification would be great so I could determine the treatment ASAP. I have 37%...

Got a new coral 2 weeks ago, pet shop gave it to me to free up space, called it a 'lord brain' but couldn't tell me anything else on the name or species. Went away for a day or two and noticed when I put the light back that there's a bleach ring around it. How do I get it to recover?

I have a small 3 gallon pico all coral tank on my desk that’s been up for about a year with no issues at all until about four days ago I noticed some coral missing, I kept watching thinking since it was just my tiny bit of pulsing Xenia it was whatever but when my green hairy mushrooms in the...

Hello. I have a 15 gallon hello reef fully stocked with zoas, yumas, mushrooms, target mandarin, opossum wrasse, and pistol shrimp. I'm running the AI blade grow and glow. I've added pods several times because I never see them on the glass or backwall. Now about once a week I get a 'bloom' of...

Hello I have a 55 gallon cube and I was away on the weekend for my sisters wedding. I come back today and my tank is a mess. Would an anemone dying cause a crash I have a lot of livestock and filter and skimmer. My flame angel I can’t find (super torn about this) watched my clownfish die, dead...

My clownfishes belly is swelling up and he keeps floating up toward the surface. He did still eat if that means anything (he normally swims a little funny as he is missing a fin but this is different) I’ve never dealt with anything like this any ideas?

Tank has been running for two years and Chicago Sunburst has been doing great till last week. It will close up for half the day and open up to this. It did expel some waste and its mouth is open. Tank parameters: Alk - 8.3 Cal - 405 Mag - 1320 Phosphate - 0.02 Nitrate - 5 Ammonia - 0...

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 all does anyone know where I can get one these from Radion XR15w G4 Pro. It’s the clip you use to attach light to bracket

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...
