Hello everyone! I'm starting to feel lazy just coming on here everytime I get stuck for information, but everytime I do my own research I get overloaded with different information, conflicting information, and advice that doesn't seem applicable to my particular case :( I've got a 65L tank...

I got a goni frag from a fellow reefer. It was headed to the trash bin and I offered to try and save it. I thought it was covered in gha but I am not sure. I tried brushing it off and am not making progress. I am wondering if a dip in hygrogen peroxide would help? And how to get it back to...

Hello everyone! Today i got some live rock to add to my 65L tank to fill things out a bit and I got 2 surprise new residents (that i know of so far). I'm pretty sure the mystery star is a brittle star, which worries me a bit because i primarily keep 4 peppermint shrimp and 2 astrea snails as my...

Help please #fishmedic #fishmedics I fed my tank frozen food, Hikari spirulina mysis cube, and some LRS herb frenzy that had some freezer burns. 5 minutes prior, my clowns were swimming perfect in their frogspawn. 10 minutes after I fed I noticed my larger female clown drifting. I thought...

Hello saltwater hobbyists, I’m a young teen in the freshwater hobby (my tank is the last photo) This is my dad’s old tank from about 10 years ago and is still sitting in the living room collecting dust. He had tried to revive it about 2 years ago which was in vain. It’s been an eyesore to look...

Hi everyone, It’s been a while since I put together the first version of the guide! I noticed a few people were having issues updating to the latest version of the AIPAI app (3.0.7), so I took a little time to review things and added a new chapter to the old guide. This new section includes...

So I really need some help here with this stuff, I have insane algae growth going on in this aquarium and it’s been this way for like 2 months and keeps getting worse. Every single day I have to clean my glass and the next morning it’s completely covered again. I have 2 circulation pumps and a...

Hello! I would like some advice, I have a pair of clowns a gladiator (male) and a mocha (female). We recently added a blue, yellow tail damsel to the 40G tank. And these 2 clowns are constantly bothering her, chasing her but not really biting her, she has found herself a good hiding spot, but...

Hi all, I’m feeling really frustrated and know much of this is my fault. My tank, a 6-month-old Red Sea 200, was thriving—alkalinity consumption increasing, corals with open polyps, and everything looking healthy. Even though I QT’d my fish, I noticed some flashing. Knowing my LFS has flukes...

I had two clown fish juveniles. The smaller one started hanging our the Watchman Goby and Tiger Pistol Shrimps home, it would get really curious about the Goby and hang right outside of the caves entrance. I heard a few clicks from the Pistol Shrimp when it would hangout near it. One day i come...

Hello, my TLC has been like this for free weeks, is it dying? Anything I can do to help it?. Thanks

I have been having some issues regarding the flame angelfish, there were some unidentifiable white spots all over him which i assumed to be ich, it hadn't been spreading to anyone else at the time and he was still energetic and eating like a champ. I was running UV and adding...

Hey everyone. Getting back into the hobby after a break due to a move 4 years ago. I am excited to get started. Here is my tank build. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, so please let me know if you see ways to improve, or cut costs, without giving up any functionality or reliability. This...

I was wondering what type of algae this is and how to get rid of it

I’m trying to make a floating rock shelf for my reef tank and I’m not sure what materials would be best. My tank is 24” L 14” W so not big but I want the entire reef elevated about 1 1/2 to 2 inches above the sand with nothing touching the sand to support it Should I use cast acrylic or...

I got a second clownfish about 3 weeks ago and today it died. He had no outward physical symptoms like ich, Brooke, velvet. His poop was not white so I don’t think it was internal parasites. Fish store claimed he was there for 2 months. This morning he was laying on his side breathing heavily, I...

Hello everyone! As you can see by the title, I've got some evil milky water in my tank that I just can't seem to clear up. I've got a 65L tank with a sponge filter + airline in one corner and a hang-on filter in the opposite corner (specifically an aqua one clearview 280 because that's what...

My kids were playing with the Neighbors kids and they came in while my wife and I were cleaning. I saw the boy standing over my tank and I asked him what he was doing. He said "nothing " and then I look to see a ton of pellets floating in the water. Including picture of bottle that was nearly...

I got this guy from Petco on Sunday. He was laying on the sand bed in their tanks so I knew he had some type of issue, but I had assumed it was an ammonia/high nitrate thing bc the whole saltwater section there had more algae than usual and red cyano all over. So, assuming it was a...

Hi guys, I noticed this “wound” in my Fromia, she has been in my tank for a while now, 5 months, always been in healthy and active. Yesterday i’m sure it wasn’t there, what can this be? Thanks everyone

I came home today and Saw that my Clownfish was not as active as normal so when I went over to double check I saw that it has a giant grey streak on its body and seems to not be well. I have had them for only about 3 months now. I have no clue what this is or how concerned I should be. Right now...
