Hi everyone, Basically I left testing for 2 weeks and had a mag/cal and alk drop so I’ve just fixed that then i was looking and in the last 2 days one of my clowns disappeared fully with no trace, (the tanks only 4 months old) so I moved all the rocks looking for him, now my phosphate has gone...

I've made a few posts about my system. Simple corals like Green Star are not growing, my torches, hammers are slowing shrinking and dying. Fish are growing, look healthy eating well and have no issues. What on earth is wrong - what possible next steps could I take? - I'm about to give up My...

Hi guys, I have 2 clowns right now in my tank and one of them (the male) has suddenly started breathing very radidly and is not eating. He ate great yesterday but did not eat today. He ate maybe 1 pellet. I tried spot feeding with both mysis shrimp and pellets but he isn’t interested in it and...

Hello all, first post here on R2R! I love this site because it almost always answers any questions I have. So I thought I’d give it a try with questions directing towards my setup. First off I have a 20g long Innovative Marine Lagoon. It’s been up for about a month. I recently upgraded from a...

Hello, this is my first time on this forum and I need help. In the last 2 months I've been setting up my 15 gallon saltwater fish tank. A few weeks back I introduced my clown fish and the majority of my CUC when all the chemistry levels in the tank were correct. A week after I introduced a...

Hey, my desjardini sailfin tangs bloated and lethargic, he also didn’t eat seaweed when we fed today, could this be dropsy? or does anyone have any thoughts? The parameters are all good and every other fish is doing fine, he has been staying swimming in one corner of the tank. At this same time...

hey all, i’ve been reading for hours on here and believe i’ll get the same answers but i figured it’s worth a shot. all parameters are within normal range. i have the possum wrasse, a tail spot blenny, and now a bicolor dottyback in my 10 gal. the dottyback was added just yesterday. i am...

I have been dealing with cyano for months. It was horrible and covered all my tank and killed a lot of my corals…. Now the past few weeks my tank is starting to clear up and it’s almost all clear… The past two weeks though my tank can’t seem to get rid of this corner of cyano and some green...

So if you know me at all you probably know that I’ve been preparing my (roughly) 10g dwarf seahorse tank for many months now. Two days ago they finally came in the mail, I got six. Three male and three female. One of them wasn’t doing well on arrival and ended up passing that day after getting...

I have a RedSea 750XXL (200 gallon display with sump) and think I have created a high bioload with lots of fish and corals. I am losing lots of my corals. Chemistry: I am experiencing high nitrates and phosphates. I have tried to lower feeding but can't get them under control. Hence, I started...

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...
