What type of algae is this? I need to fix it.

Hello, I am wondering whether I would be able to put saw blade algae into the display tank. Especially while I have been having issues with my refuge currently (not connecting properly to the display tank, might need to get a new overflow box). Alongside the cuc, I have a scooter blenny...

Hey everyone, I set up my tank (cycled) in May of 23, and since then I've had a bunch of deaths. First, I got a clean up crew, a blue legged hermit crab, a red hermit crab and 2 nasarius snails. July, I got 2 clownfish. By the end of July one clownfish had died (breathing really hard) and my...

BJD on goniopora? If so how do I fix it?

Hey reef team, I've got a 25 gallon innovative marine AIO tank. I've been dealing with a bit of hair algae growing on my macro algae, as well as a ton of bubble algae growing on the rocks and frag plugs. I just tested my parameters and currently Alk is 7.5dkh, Ca is 750, Phosphates are 0.0 and...

Hi, I have currently had my tank now for about 6 months. For a while all I had in there was a peppermint shrimp and hermit crab. My parameters have been fine (salinity 1.025, PH 8.2, others in range) and a couple weeks ago I added clownfish. I was worried about adding anything but I was happy to...

Hello everyone, My first reef tank has been set up for a bit over two months now, and it's doing great, I already see significant coralline growth, having started from dead mined rocks. That said, I have noticed a problem, I have two Jebao ELW-20M (3000-10000 l/h, 790-2641 gph), since the...

Help Just bought a beautiful blonde naso tang from a local reputable fish store and it’s on its side swimming in circles like it cannot maintain buoyancy. it also seems to be breathing heavier. We seriously just got this fish, and this fish had been quarantined in the store for quite some time...

For the past few weeks I’ve noticed these weird little green algae bowls growing on my rockwork… not sure if these are micro or macro so I apologize if I’m in the wrong spot. I can’t find anything resembling this anywhere but it’s hard to search when you don’t know what you are searching for…...

My second post but learning and sorry for few dumb questions again. My tank(32gal Bio Cube) is about 8 weeks, perimeters are on place. During week 3, I initially bought two clowns and one royal Gamma. One of the clown died very next day. I thought he was stressed and died. Then I start to...

Just got this tank from a local who needed to rehome it. Was fine on the take down and they delivered it. Was late when I tucked it in the garage for a few days. Well i took down my other tank and got this one all ready to go. On inspection, the bottom corner in the front got chipped. Thinking...

I have had this bta for about two months and when it first arrived it grabbed onto a spot and was extremely large and happy for a while. I had a small salinity swing and a phosphate drop about three weeks ago but nothing in my tank was affected. I used to feed every week but I missed two...

Hello all. So I got this Tomini roughly two weeks ago. Been doing great, but today I noticed he looked a bit rough. He has a vertical mark on his body that looks like a burn, though I have no idea. I do also see that he has a rip on his fin, though I have no idea what this could be from. Any...

Hey all! I have had my tank up an running for almost a year now and for the past few months I have had a bad case of what I think to be diatoms or dinos. Both my phosphates and nitrates are a little over 0 (API test, but it's the best I have right now). I recently acquired a TDS meter and the...

I've had this hammer since mid September, and its never opened up more than It has in its first week. It looks nowhere like it did at the swap when I bought it (it was bicolor, blue and green) The first photo is day one in the tank, and the second is today. The last month or two has been...

Hello everyone, My fish are sick and 4 fish just dead. 4 days ago everything was great until the local fish store recommended to add a whole bottle of bacteria to the tank at once, two days later I wake up to find one of my tang dead and another blue tang swimming to the service, I moved right...

Just got a sebae anemone last week. It’s weird, in the mornings, when the room is dark, it’s fully expanded but throughout the day it closes up quite a bit. I lowered the intensity on my lights. Currently using Radions. Any idea what it could be? Tank is about 18 months old.

Not sure what exactly these are.

What sickness is this?

Had a complete freak accident with a clownfish I’ve had for about 5 years. I’m actually in the process of getting out of the hobby and was taking my clownfish pair to my local saltwater fish supplier. He’s a good guy and was actually planning on keeping them for his personal tank. Anyway, while...

How do I get this little blue tang out of my 75 gallon? He is so fasttttt! Any suggestions of how catching him?

Hi all, It’s been a few weeks since my last post, regarding my high nitrate issue I am experiencing. Originally the issue was thought to have been high nitrate and undetectable phosphate however I have had an ICP and the phosphates are actually 0.1 so this dosnt seem as bad. However the...
