help

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...

Hello, I recently added a Magnificent Foxface to my mixed reef tank. Its been a few days and I just noticed this spot on my foxface, I am worried its my first encounter with ich. Fish looked fine at the LFS, fish is eating well and swimming fine, no aggression issues besides some light chasing...

The title like the title says I left my dosing pump on all night. I plugged it into the wrong timer and instead of turning on for one minute every two hours it ran continuously for about five hours. I estimate that a dose between 2 to 300 mL of all for Reef… Into my Evo 13.5 gallon tank Now my...

Hi all just wanted some help on know what this coral is. Can’t tell if it’s some kind of singulars or a devils hand. Got it super cheap at the LFS and didn’t ask anything of it. TIA!

hello everyone! I'm really new to reef2reef but I'm anxious for some advice from the lovely folks here. To make a long story short, I have no idea what animal(s?) I can keep in my tank! it's a 65L tank with a heater, thermometer, sponge filter + airline going into it, and a pretty standard white...

Hi everyone , I just got a bubble tip anemone for my tank and noticed this weird thing moving next to it while I am acclimating. Does anybody know what it is ?the arms also move

I have a newly set-up aquarium, and I bought this little guy because i thought it would sift through sand. It is never in the sane. At first it, it was on thr glass as show in the pictures, then it was on the live rock, and now it is on the glass again as in the current photos. My worry is: is...

I’ve had this PBT for a week now, proactively treated with prazi first (for 5 days) did a 50% WC and started copper power. Raised copper to 2.5 over the coarse of 48hrs. Found it lying on the bottom of the tank this morning barely moving. Did a freshwater dip and it sadly passed. Can anyone tell...

Hello been having this angle for about 3 weeks, he had no signs of infection besides the ick. I dipped him in hydroplex for 10 minutes and tossed him in my tank. I’ve been dosing rally pro to help mitigate the ick and grounded ginger which has helped. However a new infection has arrived being on...

Hello! I got a rock flower nem 3 days ago and it’s been doing great, this morning it was out of sight but I was told that they move a lot sometimes when first put into a tank. Well I wanted to make sure it was okay and now it looks like it’s been ate in half!! I was told that it’d be safe in my...
