I got this Duncan a week ago It looked healthy and happy in the shop When I got it home it was fully closed as I expected It hasn’t opened up since and this morning it’s looking bad Is it bailing or is it ok and just sulking

I’m currently running an eshopps S-120 on my 130g system with a 90g display tank with what I would call a moderate to heavy bioload. A LFS near me has a barely used reef octopus 110SSS space saving skimmer for sale. The rating online says 60gal heavy bioload, 90 medium, 130 light. I would go...

Hey all. I just got a 75 gallon and notice a strange line on the top left of it. It runs a little bit and is wavy, and kind of thins out to nothing. I can feel it with my fingers it feels like a smooth bump. I just don’t know if it’s a crack or silicone. I am halfway setting it up and noticed...

So, about a month ago, I got a YWG, and he was good for the night. Then I woke up the next morning, saw him, he went out of his little cave he was in for the night, swam behing the rockscape, and never saw him since. Now, about 2 days ago, I got another YWG, and later through the first night. He...

Hi everyone. This is my anemone, and she’s clearly suffering quite a lot. She’s been in the tank for over two months. Recently I had some sudden parameter drops due to coral additions, specifically KH and magnesium. I didn’t catch it in time — I’m still a beginner — and both of my anemones were...

Can I please get some help with the id of this torch. I received the frag today and the seller is adamant that it’s a ny Knicks however it looks exactly the same as my indo gold (at the top) of the comparison photo. I appreciate it’s still settling in but doesn’t look like a ny kicks to me. He...

Sorry duplicate post

Eshoppes mariner 70 the side seal has a hard piece of plastic that is on the corner but it seems to be coming up? The silicone itself is fine and no separation between the panels at all. Just this lil hard plastic piece came off. I can drain the tank and seal it back on if needed or will I be...

I’ve been struggling with ph for a while now and I couldn’t figure out why because I installed a co2 scrubber on my 90g reef (about 100g of total water volume due to having two sumps, one being a refugium) and it hasn’t done much. However, my family decided to turn the ac off for a day this past...

We have had this Vlamingii Tang for a little while now and it has developed these white spots over the last two weeks along with raised bumps around his mouth. Tanked with a Purple Tang and a Sohal Tang. The other two Tangs are acting fine and nothing out of the ordinary visually with them but...

Hi all! My female clown is breathing heavy and mostly just hanging around at the bottom of my tank. Did a freshwater dip, and I believe some flukes came out. I thought she'd perk back up after that, but an hour later and she's still exhibiting the same behavior. Is there anything else I can do...

i’ve noticed this growing under my rocks. Haven’t seen it on any direct coral besides on my zoa rock. Is this brown jelly disease? If so what’s the best way to treat my tank i have a good amount of expensive coral. It started about a month ago hasn’t gotten worse but hasn’t gone away. Do a...

Suddenly, today, my cowfish decided it wants out of the tank and desperately. He jets back-and-forth and then will from the bottom of the tank, propel himself to get out and he would make it if I did not have netting over top. I’ve never seen him this desperate to try getting out the only time I...

My pair of clowns was beautiful and happy until I came back from my trip. They seemed fine but the male wouldn't eat very much, and the female was aggressive towards him. Now he's breathing heavily, and can barely swim against my gentle LPS flow. His gills look slightly raised and again, the...

Hello, I’ve had my 50 gal for a year and I’ve had my gold Midas blenny for about 6-8 months of that time, but he’s so skinny and hasn’t grown at all. I’ve been feeding daily, switching between frozen mysis shrimp and frozen brine every other day. He’s eager to eat once he notices, but it looks...

Yesterday I traded in my magnifica for a long tentacle anemone. I turned off my flow for a couple hours to let him adjust and get settled in the sandbed, but when i turned it back on he got carried away by the current. Then i tried digging a little hole for him to anchor his foot into, and the...

Hi all, I'm in need of suggestions on how I can get my sump inside my 75 gallon Aqueon stand... I recently upgraded from a nano to a 75 gallon tank. I am learning how insanely wrong I was with my lack of planning. For now, I do have a Tidal 75 HOB so my tank is fully operational for the time...

Just got these zoas the owner didn't know what they were called. I think I found 2 of the 3 zoas show. 1 is blood diamond and 2nd is chiquatias but im not sure what the 3rd pink one is. Again I could be totally wrong on all three so what are the names of these zoas?

Not sure what this is, only affecting one of the clownfishes, parameters in line, picture also there. Salinity at 1.026. They are all eating normal, only 2 clownfish and 1 starry blenny (Which is hard to see if has any spot because well, starry blenny and hides until feeding time) Any help is...

Hi all, I have 2 mixed reef systems, which have been running since November 2025 and March 2025 respectively. Up to this point, I have been using RODI and saltwater purchased from my LFS, which sources natural sea water as live in a coastal city in Florida. I purchased both RODI and saltwater...

So I've had some softies in my tank for 2 months now and they were initially doing great. But now I fear some of my fish may have started nipping them and they look awful. I'm pretty sure they've been nipping them cause I've seen fluorescent coral bits in the sand before which I assume are from...

Hello everyone, Happy Friday! I need some help with my lights settings as I believe its playing a big factor with my red slime Algae problem. I currently have no coral but looking to add some in a month or so. it was alot worse about a month ago, but with the help of a UV sterilizer, a ton of...

Within the last month, my monti cap bleached randomly and seems to be spreading to the leptoseris (which had been touching the monti cap). Any idea what this is and what to do about it? Been monitoring the last couple weeks and seems to be spreading. I suspect that it may have been higher...

last month I moved my tank to the basement, and therefore my ph dropped as it wasn’t next to an open window the whole time anymore, so I finally went ahead and installed the CO2 scrubber that I’ve had lying around for a year. It worked for about a week, giving between 8.1-8.2, and then dropped...
